Look, I agree. However, I did NOT like TPAB. So to me, that's the man's weakest. You may love that album, but "We Gon' be Alright" was so lackluster I couldn't believe he made a cold video promoting it.

But I agree, everything else is heat, mostly. I'm just saying if you wanna go song for song, lyric for lyric, he ain't touching a Nas.

Nas' first album is still better than 99% of hip hop today. But that's not really the point. The point is who sounds better on the mic, who has the better flow, who has the better songs. I don't like every song on any of the man's albums but his talent is undeniable. As are the talents of the others I mentioned.
