"Nas ranks his own albums"


  

          

1. Illmatic (classic and been Achilles heel since)
2. Stillmatic (classic, brought back to life letting people know)
3. It Was Written (classic, sell out? naw, peep the wordplay)
4. Life Is Good (4 1/2, cohesive)
5. God's Son (4 1/2, most personal Made U Look)
6. Untitled (good album, Queens get the money, Slave and Master)
7. Steet's Disciple (some joints on this but should have been trimmed)
8. I Am.. (NYSOM Pt 2, Hate me now, undying love)
9. Hip Hop Is Dead (concept rushed, Money over Bullshit tho)
10. Nastradamus (leaking killed the I Am project, shit was mad rushed)

















yeah, this ain't actually his list since don't know if he's done one but this is how I think he'd rank them and thought we needed a Nas post again

What about Lost Tapes? If I did a list, that album would rank pretty high.

perfectly mixed and mastered, that play cohesively front to back

which makes it different than an album how?

people try to play down The Lost Tapes, when other than the album title there is nothing that makes it "not an album"

I've tried having this discussion a few times on here now. Nothing good ever comes of it. It won't be long before the personal insults start flying and death threats are made against your family members. For what it's worth, you're right, though!

I don't give a damn how much you like it-hell, it's a great compilation-but it's still a compilation
why you guys insist on saying it's an album for your own purposes is beyond me

If I'm recommending what Nas albums or CDs or mp3s to get, I'm naming The Lost Tapes.

I find it strange people feel the need to get into discussion whether it's an album or not.

It doesn't really matter.

If someone lists it in their top 3 Nas albums, cool.

If someone excludes it, cool.

And I've never understood it.

If the material's good and you like it as much as It Was Written, fine. Rank it up there! It technically IS a compilation, but not in the sense that the material is available elsewhere. So, I see no problems.

I'm a Nas fan and realize that this isn't an album he went in the studio to craft. It's a compilation plain and simple but prepare for war.

As important as that album was for his career, it's overall quality was fairly spotty.
