How at least it was written is not universally considered a great album I will never get.

Who's world is this

It is considered great

imagine

And yet every time dudes come in here and claim otherwise

Terrible take

That's because some idiot always compares it to illmatic. It's great on its own but it isn't illmatic and that's ok. Literally no album is illmatic

Finally Rich by Chief Keef the modern equivalent fr

a drake avi saying this lmao

Amazing album but idk bout that one tbh

Loser

GKMC might be the illmatic of the 2010s

Memory lane is my favorite song. Second verse is the best verse ever imo

In terms of a 17 y/os output tho I think Keef might of been 16

Overrated album

Still Great but Overrated.

Illmatic probably my least favorite Nas album tbh

100/10 album

Memory Lane, The World Is Yours and One Love

life's a b****

Either this or If I Ruled The World may be the best rap song of all time.

yikes bruh. God's Son and Street's Disciple are great albums. Even King's Disease from last year was a solid project especially for someone who's been going for decades. I think Nas just suffered from making his debut such a great album that fans will never let go of it.

Represent

real

"Shorty's laugh was cold-blooded as he spoke so foul
Only 12, tryin' to tell me that he liked my style
Then I rose, wipin' the blunt's ash from my clothes
Then froze, only to blow the herb smoke through my nose
And told my little man I'ma ghost, I broze
Left some jewels in his skull that he can sell if he chose
Words of wisdom from Nas: try to rise up above"

It Ain’t Hard To Tell probably my favorite track with Life’s A B**** and One Love right behind. Whole thing is amazing though. One of my favorite albums oat, just amazed me from my first listen and I still pickup bars I missed before. Just an insane debut.
