Nas BEST album ?
« on: March 27, 2008, 11:32:02 AM »


It's hard to choose one of these AMAZING records..... Stillmatic and I Am are almost better than Illmatic and It Was Written.
It Was Written is like Chronic or Doggystyle,its a timeless record.
These 4 nas records shits all over the jay z discography.....and the diss track on stillmatic is MONUMENTAL  8)
 I rock hoes y'all Roc-fellas  ;D (best diss line E-V-E-R)

LOL, it ain't hard for me at all.Illmatic is just on a whole another level, and light years ahead of everything else Nas dropped, hell, even ahead of the greatest hip-hop albums

His 2nd best I think is undoubtedly It Was Written, and I gotta agree with you, timeless music

It is hard tho, for me to choose his 3rd best album, cause I still haven;t checked his discography more thourougly

I know Illmatic is regarded as his best.  But I hated it when it came out, and I still can't fully get into it.  I appreciate it tho.  For me, Stillmatic is my fav. with it was written in 2nd.

Who voted for stillmatic? That is still a great album but nowhere near the level of Illmatic. Every song is listenable on Illmatic, but there are some easiy skippable tracks on Stillmatic.

I voted illmatic by the way  :laugh:

for me it just is man, the whole vibe of the album.lyrically on IWW nas was CRAZY.Take that crazyness and multiply it by 5 and you get how crazy I think he was ot illmatic.And as musch as I admire the production on IWW some of the beats just can't fuck with vintage Large Professor, Pete Rock, Q-Tip...

Illmatic is the blueprint of an eastcoast album
See these fans can't resist the rush,
they Wu-Tang for life
Scarred for life,
they can't forget the cuts

Yep, I've been listening to I Am lately & it's grown on me alot but still I find it as an average album. I find it hard to believe that anyone could put I Am in the same sentence as Illmatic or even say its hot.

I voted IWW. 

Lyrically = Illmatic > IWW
Musically = IWW > Illmatic

IWW aged better over time than Illmatic, IMO.  Both are tuff, but I bump IWW more than Illmatic.
