[TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96']

Before you all start tripping, this is my own, subjective opinion.  These are my personal favorites.  But "Illmatic", "God's Son" and "Stillmatic" would certainly be on most people's lists.


1.  "God's Son"-  my personal favorite
2.  "Illmatic"-  everyone's favorite
3.  "Stillmatic"- 5 Mic album
4.  "Train of Thought"  Reflection Eternal- Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek
5.  "Hip-Hop Is Dead"- timely concept album

--------------------------------

6.  "Let's Get Free"-  Dead Prez
7.  "Servants In Heaven, Kings In Hell"  Jedi Mind Tricks
8.  "Get Rich Or Die Trying"-  50 Cent
9.  "No Way Out"- Puff Daddy
10.  "Distant Relatives"-  Nas and Damian Marley

Nas is my all time favourite rapper, but this thread is stupid.  Maybe title it "Nas has 4 of MY 5 greatest East Coast albums ever"...and really, I'd put IWW up there as well, although Nas only real top 10 east coast album is Illmatic.  You haven't listened to a lot of East Coast, I take it? 

[Your favorite posters favorite poster]

GRODT isn't even a top 50 east coast album.  Ladies and Gentleman, the OG TS says he is the most knowledgeable hip hop head here but until a couple of years ago never heard the track "shook ones pt 2".  That song defines east coast griminess.  Even if you don't like Mobb Deep, to never of heard that track when most people think of that track first when thinking of 90's eastcoast grimey joints.  Do not take anything this man says seriously at all.

I didn't actually hear "Shook Ones" until 8 Mile came out

LMAO

worst list ever

doubt there would be 1 in mine

[OG Jaydc]

Mobb deep defines eastcoast grimy hip hop the infamous is easily a top ten eastcoast album.But grodt is easily a top 50, top 20 even. You may not like it but it's impact alone puts it there.

You wouldn't have illmatic?! That's a top five hip hop album, let alone eastcoast

[Okka]

Nas is my favorite rapper of all times, but this fuckin list is ridiculous.

You guys are not true Nas fans if you don't respect my list

[Invincible]

 

Wow, I'm in amazement that you actually mean this. Firstly there isn't a single Wu as a group or solo album in there and you 'have' put GRODT in. God's Son would be in nobodies list, you're just speaking for yourself. Distant Relatives and No Way Out in top 10 = 

You guys are not true Nas fans if you don't respect my list

No, its just that people who are fans know that he only has 1 true classic and and ? near classics.

[OG Jaydc]

Thiers being a fan and being a Stan. That list is stan

Even the Source gave Stillmatic 5 mics (and 5 mics is the ranking they give only for "classic" albums).... and God's Son was an emotionally inspired album, due in part to the passing of his mother.   Then on Hip-Hop is Dead he chronicled the death of hip-hop which makes that album legendary as well!
