Rank Nas' albums.

Certain · 11-28-2013, 12:33 AM

Let's see how you do this. I'll put myself on the spot first:

1. Illmatic
2. Life is Good
3. God's Son
4. The Lost Tapes
5. Stillmatic
6. It Was Written
7. Hip Hop is Dead
8. Street's Disciple
9. Untitled
10. I Am ...
11. The Firm
12. Distant Relatives
13. Nas and Ill Will Present QB's Finest
14. Nastradamus

There's huge gaps to me between Nos. 1 and 2 and Nos. 6 and 7 and Nos. 9 and 10.

Malachi · 11-28-2013, 12:36 AM

I love Life is Good (which also is the only Nas album to come out while you were listening, so what are you doing sleeping?), but God's Son is a must-listen. "Get Down" might be his best track since Illmatic.

dead man · 11-28-2013, 12:41 AM

1. illmatic
2. stillmatic
3. it was written
4. god's son
5. lost tapes
6. street's disciple
7. i am…
8. distant relatives
9. hip hop is dead
10. life is good

nastradamus and nigger tape are interchangeably last

have not heard the other one you mentioned @Certain

Wise Wiggles · 11-28-2013, 12:59 AM

You forgot The Firm.

And Get Down ain't even top ten after Illmatic.

Certain · 11-28-2013, 01:00 AM

I think my favorite post-Illmatic Nas track actually is on the worst post-Illmatic Nas album.

PancakeBrah · 11-28-2013, 01:15 AM

Nas is Like.

Huge nas fan and I would rate these the same.

Certain · 11-28-2013, 12:57 PM

The hate for Life is Good makes me wonder how many times y'all actually listened to it.

Pent uP · 11-28-2013, 12:59 PM

I came in here to see if anyone didn't put illmat first. Mordy didnt disappoint. Thanks for the holiday laughs

illmatics beats get too old after awhile whereas it was written stays dope, not to mention the lyrical type of dopeness he had on that album. im surprise I I didn't put stillmatic at the top of my list, been bumping that constantly since it came out in what '01? never gets old. ether, what goes around, the flyest, rewind, the intro, one mic shitttt every track

Illmatic is consider to be the greatest hip hop album ever, not just nas, ... it is easily consider arguably the greatest rap album ever made

wtf are you talking about?

pretty sure was talking bout my opinion? why you mad? cuz I chose to bump stillmatic and it was written more than illmatic? had each album since they came out and still do so don't act like idk what ive heard. and yeah, ive read the reviews.

wtf are you talking about?

Certain · 11-28-2013, 01:05 PM

Nas and Dr. Dre just didn't work for me. I don't like Trackmasterz much, either. It Was Written lyrically is top-shelf but sounds a bit too glossy, sort of like In My Lifetime, Vol. 1. The difference is Jay-Z can pull off the glossy sound.

Chyeahhh!!! · 11-28-2013, 02:08 PM

Life is good.is classic

King Ra. · 11-28-2013, 04:27 PM

1. It Was Written
2. I Am...
3. Illmatic
4. Stillmatic
5. Untitled
6. Street's Disciple
7. Life Is Good
8. God's Son
9. Nastradamus

These are the albums I've listened to heavily. Haven't listened to the others all the way through. It Was Written is my favorite. First hip hop album I listened to and went a whole year, everyday listening to the album from start to finish.

Nas Is Like, The World Is Yours, Ether, Made You Look, Street Dreams, The Message, If I Ruled The World, The Set Up, Shootouts, Rewind and Thief's Theme are my favorite tracks.
