DUBCC - Tha Connection > Outbound Connection
If Disciple is as good as some are sayin.........does nas have 5 classics???!!!
teecee:
Does nas have ARGUABLY five classic cds? Im not saying all 5 listed below are (or will be) classics, everyone has their opinions afterall. BUt what other rapper has 5 cds that can be considered by many to be a classic. (id only take Illmatic and IWW personally)
illmatic
IWW
Stillmatic
Lost Tapes
Disciple
not to mention I am and God Son, both of which arent bad cds at all, just not great
what other rapper has this many solo cds at this high of a level? drop your thoughts
teecee:
again, you dont have to think they are all classics, but just acknowledge that MANY others do!
perhhaps ice cube is up there (only if you added Bow Down or Straight outta compton)
jay z (reasonable doubt and blueprint spring to mind, personally i also think TBA)
2pac (MATW, AEOM, Makeveli)
Scarface (once again, with his group albums hes up there)
LL Cool J (how many classics would u say he has?
who else?

Is this a parody on the "most overrated MC's" thread.. ?
Illmatic is the only classic up there, while Stillmatic & Lost Tapes are both good CD's.
I have never heard anybody refer to more than 2 Nas classics. (Illmatic, and some people claim Stillmatic)
I think you're overhyping Nas skills something ridiculous.
Ras Kass' Toothpick:
He has:
2 good albums
2 great albums
1 outstanding album
1 flawless album
1 classic
His next should be really good. Nas will have the best catalog ever when he decides to write no more.
teecee:
Guys, i am NOT saying nas will have five classics after Disciple, and i dont think he will either .
Jome, u never heard anyone say IWW was a classic? Seriously, even though that cd was a drastic departure production wise from nas' debut, it was a GREAT cd that was a huge hit at the time. Most people that dis it now werent even into rap back then, or were only into the hardcore sound of Illmatic. I was disappointed with IWW at first, but the more i listened i began to view IWW as a great commercial hiphop cd with lyrics and storytelling. LOTS of people think the album is a classic, except for two groups of people
1)young cats who werent around then who hear all the ype about Illmatic (besides true heads, noone even noticed that cd by the way when it dropped) and
2) cats who ONLy like so-called "true" hiphop who were disappointed that Nas switched up his style
ras kass, i pretty well agree with what u got there, i dont really think Stillmatic is classic either, id say Illmatic and IWW, although they are completely different albums. If IWW was Nas first album, he wouldnt have the backlash he receives for the album ,it would just be considered a classic debut like REasonable DOubt or REady to Die
regardless, not many people can fuck with nas' catalogue, point made. Classic material is always subject to opinion, i guess the only albums that are true classics are ones everyone can agree on.......
