i know a lot of people dig stillmatic and its definitely dope as hell, but the 2nd best disc nas has put out (obviously after illmatic) is the lost tapes. got a lot of classic joints on there, just bumping that 'black zombies' right now 8)
god's son is also outstanding imo, shame about that crappy bravehearts track near the end. nas definitely one of the best ever. thoughts?
-
it was written
"silent murder" and "take it in blood" are fucking classics
maybe its the beats that carry those tracks tho, since it was Live Squad who produced them
-
it was written.
my favorite album out of all of his just for nostalgic reasons (although illmatic >>>>)
-
Illmatic > Lost Tapes > It Was Written > Stillmatic > God's Son > Hip Hop Is Dead/I Am.../Untitled > Street's Disciple > > > Nastradamus
4 Classics + 9.5/10 + three 9/10s + 8/10 + 6.5/10 = Best Discography Ever
-
i didnt even mind Nastradamus lol
come get me, nas is like, life we chose, shoot em up, god love us, family, last words are all bad ass imo lol
Definitely the weakest tho...
-
it's hard to put Nas albums in order because lots of them are only half great
Nas is the man but I'd have to say his ear should have been better
lots of tracks with mediocre feel but dope lyrics in the end
was listening to The Firm album the other day
thinking how much better he'd have been if he had that solid production behind him always
I dont know, maybe some of you guys know what I mean

I know this is a sin because it's a west coast board but Street's Disciple is the best 2-disc release by a rap artist. It at once pays homage to the golden era of hip-hop (through it's beat selection) while fleshing out Nas's diversity as an artist (great experimentation by Nas through Scarlett) and reflection of his depth as a human (the topics range from love, social conditions, persona history, musical history, politics, race.) While people love Illmatic, I rate this as Nas at his finest.

maybe all of that shit you described happened on the cd but I still find half of the album boring as hell

totally agree with you, boring as fuck

:(
I read an interview with him around the time of that release and he admitted that he felt most comfortable in his skin during the recording of Steet's Disciple. I think it really shows. Besides when you listen to a double album you're in it for a longer haul than a solo effort so the playing time doesn't phase me.
To each their own.

wu-tang forever = not classic.

judgement day = meths 2nd album? are you fucking crazy? it's not even two discs
ready to die = not even two discs

to each his own. i find the album to get boring during the last part of the first cd, then get really good on the second then falls into another slump at the end of the 2nd disc
-
I think Hip Hop Is Dead gets some unfair hate, definately not a classic by any means but I thought it was a solid album, some dope joints on there for sure.

i wasted a FYE gift card for that album. i should of just gotten mad used CDs >:(

wu-tang forever is classic as shit! and lmao @ ready to die being a double album
on topic: it was written

I don't like All Eyez On Me. The more famous Tupac got the more his material became diluted.

I didn't dislike AEOM, but its not as great as everyone says it is. Me Against The World and Thug Life are far better albums for me. Some of the tracks on the second disc of AEOM sound very similar and start to get a bit boring. If it had just stuck to 1 disc it would have been a classic no doubt. I'm still to listen to Wu-Tang Forever for some reason. Oh and yer, Streets Disciple is a boring album but it does have some bangers on it at the same time. Again, 1 disc = would of been great album.
-
Oh and Nas' second best album for me is Stillmatic.
Illmatic>Stillmatic>Lost Tapes>It Was Written>God's Son>I Am>Streets Disciple>Untitled>Hip Hop Is Dead>Nastradamus.
-
Probably It Was Written. Stillmatic is dope as fuck too. "I Am" is a personal favorite of mine.
Illmatic - 10/10
It Was Written - 9.75/10
Stillmatic - 9/10
I Am - 9.10
Untitled - 8/10
Hip-Hop Is Dead - 7.75/10
God's Son - 7/10
Nastradamus - 6.5/10
Street's Disciple - 3/10

Did all of these get released (aside from the Lost Tapes tracks)?
-
Yeah, in some form or fashion they did because i have the disc. If it was released as an official album it would have been Nas's greatest release.
Seriously, everyone is sleeping on Street's Disciple. You say it's boring, I say its hip-hop in its vintage form. Is it an album you can play in the club or bump in the car? No. But, it is a dope album you can listen to when you want to hear a talented rapper spit. Perhaps that's one of the major reasons I like it. It went against the grain and just did that golden age hip-hop. It wasn't about the flash or the hook. It's grown folk hip-hop.

Yeah, it's a great album. Too bad it got slept on.

It was written...
that's my favorite Nas album.
-
I also loved Streets Disciple. can't believe how low some people rate it. It only had like 3, 4 fillers which is very impressive for a 2 cd album. It had that mature vibe to it and the only reason why I didn't like a couple of tracks is because of the classic weird ear for beats from Nas, example: American Way ---> politically orientated and he picked a beat that Snoop would choose to rap about getting high.
-
So last night I compiled the og track list for I am double disc in its original sequence.......as Nas intended it to be.........I will up it to this or the hookup spot 8)

you;d get mad props for this!
on topic, It Was Written for me, by FAR.I love that album.
If I had to make a Nas compilation tho, it would be everything he did 94-95, besides Illmatic obviously.Everything he did back then was 8)
-
So for my Nas fans I upped the correct sequence of how I am was supposed to be as a double cd. I had to seperate it into 2 files, enjoy.
Disc 1
http://sharebee.com/9e7a98f9
Disc 2
http://sharebee.com/f1053ce4
This was the exact sequence the source reviewed it in before it got leaked and he scraped it for Nastradamus. Note: The song Hate me Now was not included because that song wasn't done until he redid the second disc and named it Nastradamus 8)
-
Yeah Streets Disciple is the shit. I would say I Am in it's original form but the way his albums are now, I would say It Was Written. Which is funny to me because it is probably one of his most criticized by people outside the east coast because of the mafioso tone it had to it.
-
Streets Disciple is banging, never understood how it got so much hate. Only a few filler tracks, as one CD it would be better though. It Was Written=his 2nd best CD & God's Son is great but it's a little too slow for me. Just wish it had 2-3 more hype/crazy/gangsta tracks.

Did you just throw the tracks together or did you actually normalize the sound volume & quality??
-
Agree with some others posts... Streets Disciple is a dope album, maybe the 2nd best to me.
BTW anyone know from which album "Purple" (Lost Tapes) is a leftover ?

Oh for real?? Good looking, gonna get this later but for now here's a prop.

I've always had Stillmatic as my fav..
Illmatic, Lost Tapes, second..

It's very hard to pick Nas' 2nd best album. I could make arguments for a few, but I'm gonna go with "Untitled". Top to bottom, there isn't a wack joint on there. He had to make a few label concessions like featuring Keri Hilson, Chris "lil Ike" Brown, and Game. For a lead single, "Hero" is gonna be about as good you're gonna hear as far as these major releases go. I've like a lot of Polow beats, in fact I've loved a few of his beats, but I was skeptical of how him and Nas would match up. The key to that joint was Nas not compromising himself - he still spit some real shit. That beat is bonkers so it's easy to stay focused on that rather than Nas. But I'm rambling here, but anyway, this album is over the vast majority of peoples heads in regarding the truth of the topics that he's speakin on. I mean i've listened to this album I don't know how many dozens of times since I bought it and I still feel like I haven't caught everything. That's how you know a good album - when you're still pickin up new dope shit that didn't catch your ear at first. But conceptually, lyrically, just as an entire ALBUM (those are nearly extinct btw), this just shits on damn near what anyone is doin nowadays.
And check my history, I've been sayin for years that cats are sleepin on Streets Disciple. Again, conceptually Nas is goin places that other cats aren't. Gave several nods of respect to the old school to dudes like Jimmy Spicer, Doug E Fresh, and more...There are def classic Nas tracks on that album, some great concept songs, some really hard shit that Nas really ripped...If I have any knock on this, it's those 2 or songs on disc 2, the one w/ Maxwell, and I think another joint that don't fit sonically within the album. Conceptually, that part of the album is focusing on Nas gettin married, leavin the player life behind etc. So that aspect fit. And even the Maxwell song was a song Nas made because he wanted to play it at his wedding, so it's not like he just threw some shit against the wall there.
Peace

But around this time frame Napster came out making Nas's I am one of the first cd's to be exploited by the brand new mp3 format. Think Im lyin, google what Im talkin bout. I am in its original form woulda been Nas's All Eyez on Me. 8)
