I feel you in this point, I’ve got maybe 5 or 6 albums I’d give a 10 (since that means literally perfect) one of them being Illmatic. But there are near perfect albums that aren’t perfect due to maybe a bad skit or song. I love ready to die, but the s***skit and friend of mine mean it’s not a 10 for me. Same with the skits on TPAB

Yeah or maybe not even everything is perfect but my enjoyment level of it is so high that its a 10 but even that is pretty rare

But its no shame in a classic album getting an 8 or 9 from me, s*** there are some classic albums i dont even like lmao

Nas is the goat man

A real poet

We all know about I Am and how good it could've been, but it's the same story with almost every Nas album ppl don't like

He changed so many great projects due to label bs and many amazing songs were left unreleased

Also all those ideas that never really came to fruition like in 2008 he was working on an album with MF DOOM and Jay Electronica beats, and DOOM said Nas was snapping over his beats and then threw it all away like it's nothing

you owe me is actually my most played song from this so far

ruining my credibility

Tbf Nas snaps over everything

Magic is the true successor to Lost Tapes

Fax bro but I know for a fact he could've had a few more Magic type albums in his discog but it is what it is

He needed Hit Boy to tell him to take it back to the basics and just rap his ass off, and we got one of his best albums ever

When he and Salaam Remi made Nasty, Salaam told him to just keep snapping bc ppl love to hear it and Nas was surprised bc that s*** is so easy for him

No I.D. also told him he's overthinking about his songs

I was playing Lifes A B**** in the car with my homie and he dont even really know nothing about rap or even listen to it but Nas verse dropped and bro went

That whole verse reads like a poem

Simple Things

AZ verse on there is also insane they went crazy

Yeah I love the whole song

But

I woke up early on my born day; I'm 20, it's a blessin'
The essence of adolescence leaves my body, now I'm fresh and
My physical frame is celebrated 'cause I made it
One quarter through life, some godly-like thing created

That buck the bought that bottle, coulda struck the lotto

Man

He did that s*** so effortlessly

Illmatic is crazy because you get an intro then a nigga just barring you out the entire time after

Bro went Kobe 81 point game on that album

Actually Kobe went Nas Illmatic on that game

God's Son is such a dope album

Havent heard Streep Disciples, but after that comes Hip Hop is Dead and Untitled that have nice gems like the song with Kanye and the joint with Chris Brown and Game

God’s Son is slept on man

Someone who hasn’t heard Jay Z discography should do him

I’m glad these threads are dispelling the misinformation of Nas having a bad discography, I need the same for Hov

Think OP planned on doing that after Nas

I pity the one having to do it for Eminem's discog

Lmaooo

Revival is the worst album Ive ever heard

Would be a hilarious thread though
