After that he just abandoned that sound during his solo career. It Was Written is a classic, it did get mixed reviews when it came out but I consider it an all time great. Lost tapes was a great album but it's a compilation. The man made an album called Hip Hop is dead and that has some some dull ass music on that outing. He has some bright spots but imo it's more cringe than good. At least with Snoop he's very creative and left field with his shit, and you receive EPIC moments from him. TBH I haven't even checked for all of Nas shit cuz I already know skipped Untitled and distant Relatives. I just happened to see new Nas album on my YouTube feed and gave it a listen... regrets.
