Last 4 no doubt about it-Illmatic is the best of them all bum Nastradamus and I am were wack
-
the first 4 :D
-
i gotta go with the first 4, even though Nastradamus was :P :P :P
IAM was ok
but Illmatic and It Was Written were both classics ;D
-
1. "Illmatic" is the best obviously.
2. "Street's Disciple"
3. "It Was Written"
4. "Stillmatic"
5. "God's Son"
-
The second set is better. Illmatic is the best of all of them but Nastradamus brings the overall set down alot.....with the second set of albums, there are less extremes involved, thus more consistancy.
Illmatic - 5/5
IWW - 4/5
I Am - 4/5
Nastradmaus - 3/5
Stillmatic - 4.5/5
Lost Tapes - 5/5
God's Son - 4/5
Streets Disciple - 4.5/5
-
how come i just voted the 1st batch,.. and mine is the 1st vote when 2 fools said it.. btw.. i say 1st batch just cause ilmatic blows everything away and it was writen was great too.. im not a fan of gods son, new 1 is ehh, and stillmatic is overated,, leaving it just lost tapes which is amazing but illmatic takes it
-
seeing as illmatic>lost tapes, which are his best albums, im going with the first batch
i am gets far too much hate
-
I reall ydo enjoy the last 4 LP's more so I gotta go wit dat.
-
second one, no doubt!
just love stillmatic and godsson, streets disciple's crazy too
-
last 4 for me too..
-
114 veiws and 16 votes
What the fuck
-
That's a hard one, because he started out strong as hell with Illmatic, then faded into garbage Nastradamus. Then he came strong with Stillmatic, came a little weaker on God's Son and IMO, pretty fuckin' weak on Street's Disciple. I think SD is his 2nd worst album next to Nastradamus.
-
im feeling the last 4 more, altho illmatic was 8)
-
Voted: Last Four LPs
Stillmatic, The Lost Tapes and God's Son are his second, third and fourth best LPs. I don't know where Street's Disciple fits in yet but it's probably either his four, fifth or sixth best.
-
Illmatic 6/5
IWW 3.75/5
I Am... 3.25/5
Nastradamus 2/5
AVERAGE: 3.75
Stillmatic 4/5
Lost Tapes 4.5/5
God's Son 3/5
Street's Disciple 3/5
AVERAGE: 3.625
-> 1st bunch

The only thing that is better in the first batch than anything else is Illmatic, the other 3 are wack/below averrage, The second is more solid mathematiclly thanks to the lost tapes, streets deciple and stillmatic and little thanks to god's son....btw, It could lean even more towards the second batch if the re-release of "Illmatic" was counted within :)

i wouldn't say the re-release was that great. Sure, Illmatic is Illmatic and Illmatic is :o :o :o, but you can't count that, you'd have to look at the difference between the OG Illmatic and the re-release; better sound quality, ok you barely notice that, nice booklet maybe, but the bonus dis had only 4 (mediocre) remixes and two other joints...not all that IMO

yea, I guess the same album can't aply to both batches, but I don't even consider the second disc, I consider it to be a bonus disc, As soon as I heared a better sound quallity Illmatic was in stores I didn't hesitate to buy it(after all my old copy was raped due to heavy rotation) , it's true though it's real hard to notice the diff unless u got a proffesionally trained ear for digital mastering.
-
its obvious dat if u wer 2 just get one itd b illmatic but as a pack itd b the 2nd bunch i fink, basicaly same as most uthaz have sed, who here has the 10th anniversary illmatic platinum edition album? the bonus tracks r also shit hot, altho 4 r remixes

it wasnt great because it was missing the originals:
the world is your remix w/ q-tip
one love w/ sadat x
halftime remix
the 2004 remixes were good, though.
-oh yeah, i forgot how nas made on the real a solo. the original version was w/ cormega and screwball.

yeah, kinda sucks, but it's obvious you won't hear Cormega on a Nas album no more. I haven't heard that OG, but word as for the OG remixes, they should've been on. Also, they could have put on more old Nas material, even shit like Live At The BBQ and other pre-Illmatic stuff IMO
