 Street's Disciple is under-appreciated. DOPE ALBUM.

^ I tried to do just that various times, then I gave up on that dud. But to each his own opinion...

My order, excluding the Lost Tapes and QB's Finest, would be

Illmatic
Illmatic
Illmatic
Stillmatic
It Was Written
HipHop Is Dead
God's Son
I Am...
Street's Disciple
Nastradamus <- seriously one of the wackest albums ever made by a great artist

Out of these three, it's obviously Street's Disciple.

But generally - it's a tie between It Was Written and Nastradamus.

personally i dont mind Streets Disciple now.. at the time when it dropped i wasnt feeling it much, but duno somewhere over the last year or two i got into it and changed my perception of it..
Nastradamus --- would be my choice for worst album

I might be a little tired lol - It's a good album, but not his best.
My list is

Illmatic
God's Son
Stillmatic
Lost Tapes
Hip Hop Is Dead
...I Am
Street's Disciple

Nastradamus

It's a close race between 3-6.

I didn't know anyone really thought God's Son was a dud. That CD was bomb to me.
Title: Re: NAS worst album ?
Post by: Blood$ on March 26, 2008, 06:26:46 PM
I said "Street's Disciple" only because there was some filler tracks that coulda been taken off, or even the 2 discs could have been narrowed to one... I still like that album though for the most part, some classics on there

"Nastradamus" is definatly the worst one though, FACT, not personal opinion  8)
Title: Re: NAS worst album ?
Post by: pootypooty on March 26, 2008, 07:45:38 PM
I didn't vote because neither of those are his worst ones, IMO.

Nastradamus wins this one by far.

HIP HOP IS DEAD. DISAGREE AND YOU SHOULD NOT CLAIM TO LIKE HIP HOP. STREETS DISCIPLE WAS HIT AND MISS BUT IT'S STRONG POINTS WERE SOME OF THE GREATEST BEATS AND DESCRIPTIVE LYRICS OF IT'S TIME. I SEE YOU OVERFIEND.
Title: Re: NAS worst album ?
Post by: Australian Bastard on March 26, 2008, 11:46:36 PM
^Word. "wisdom is vital,for the survival,of the Street's Disciple".






Question: Which album is the worst ? God's Son  3 (18.8%)
Street's Disciple  11 (68.8%)
Hip Hop Is Dead  2 (12.5%)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Im melting................

to me nastradamus was the weakest!

I'll freely admit that I haven't listened to Street's Disciple in ages, but I just remember how let down I felt after a couple of listens, having heard "Bridging the Gap" and bought the album with high expectations. I might bump one or two of the tracks you mentioned again. Don't think I'll have the nerve for the full 2 hours or something again though.

Apart from that, we agree pretty much it seems...God's Son and I Am... are virtually interchangeable to me, the former has more good songs, but "Nas Is Like" makes up for about 3 shit songs at least, while "I Can" makes up for about 3 good ones, so close one there.

Illmatic
God's Son
God's Son on number two? That surprises me...it was decent, but > Stillmatic, IWW, Lost Tapes?
Title: Re: NAS worst album ?

Illmatic

Lost Tapes

Gods Son
Streets Disciple
I Am

Nastradamus

I don't mind Streets Disciple. Way to many tracks. Hip Hop Is Dead is just boring, only about 3 or 4 good songs on it. Would of been better if they put the original 'Hope' on it.

My list from best to worst:

Illmatic
It Was Written
Stillmatic
Hip Hop Is Dead
God's Son
I Am
Lost Tapes
Streets Disciple
Nastradamus

I feel gods son, i am, and lost tapes are all solid and equally as good for different reasons,

Lately I've just been listening to his post-millenium shit, I haven't really ever got into IWW and I Am. Out of these three I picked Street's Disciple because God's Son was purely amazing (better imo than Stillmatic) and HHID was my shit. That said, I'm addicted to a couple songs on SD - Message to the Feds (the first part), Sekou Story, Live Now, Street's Disciple are all amazing...

I walk the blocks like, whatever God, my message to y'all Feds,
Who desperate to arrest us young benevolent hardheads,
Abercrombie & Fitch rocking, wrist glistening marksman,
Hitchcock of hip-hop, since Big Pop departed,
The project logic, is still salute the dead, glocks spit
Pour some juice out, for those in Manchester, Viewmount
Otisville, Lewisberg, Fort Dix, Fort Worth,
Oakdale, every Fed jail, where all my dogs lurk,
War hurts, much to gain, 'till the day we all say
'May your pain be champagne', then we all blaze away
At our enemies, may they die easily,
Long as they perish forever's what freedom means to me,
Blowing greenery, growing eager to, see evil things
Thrown away, zonin' gray GT diesel jeans,
Airs and Chucks, Solitaires, stones with the rarest cuts
On some Pretty Tone shit, haircut looks airbrushed,
And they aware of us though,
And we don't give a flying 747 FUCK though
Staying on my hustle..........

^gyeah dats what im saying!!! wrist glistening marksman....ill.

I love Streets, its got a good mix of Esco Druglord Nas, hippitty-hop Nasty Nas, black militant Nas and familyman Nasir Jones Nas...
