Classics Discussion: Nas

[Inspect Her Deck]

Yeah, I used to have Stillmatic as a borderline classic. The passage of time has knocked it out for me though. Some of the weaker tracks (Braveheart Party, My Country, Smokin, Got Yourself, and Rule) downgrade it for me. Brehs is fukkin wild even mentioning I am... And Nastradamus ad classics. I think God's Son is his most underrated but it ain't no gaddamn classic. SD ain't no fukking classic. Them other albums don't qualify yet pet the 10-year rule but they ain't classic either.

Multiple tracks on Stillmatic are better than anything on Fix:
Intro
You're The Man
Second Childhood
One Mic
What Goes Around

Nas was easily superior on the mic.
Nas probably has the best verse on the Fix.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

It's really not. They're both only classic on a curve.

Go head with all that curve talk breh

"What Goes Around" is not better then 'In Cold Blood." I'm sorry, but no.

In Cold Blood is nice for sure. But if I say Ike with the Iverson jersey...any hip hop fan is gonna know what I'm talking about.

So are we in agreement on the other four songs?

 

[JayBaldacci]

Ok can you answer my previous question about 3 Ft High & Rising?

I gotta listen again.

not really but those are debatable

In Cold Blood
My Block
Safe
Guess Who's Back
Someday

Those are amazing tracks.

first 3 are classics to me

nastadamus is a misstep..a bad one..i still cant rock with it

stillmatic..so many memories...i made a killing bootlegging this on campus..i got it mad early..the album was just

god's son was good but i dont feel the need to revisit it to often for some reason

streets disciple had joints i love and joints i didnt..if you narrowed it down to one album it would be classic

 

[Scoop]

Illmatic and IWW

Stillmatic and The Fix make would no not be regarded like they are now if they dropped in 94.

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

i only think illmatic is a classic. to me the other albums are each too inconsistent to earn that title. gods son is lowkey one of his best though, in a few years maybe life is good could be considered classic. i dont know bout that though

Illmatic, It Was Written and Lost Tapes - That's is for Nas.

I Am...is NOT a classic. It's all over the place but Undying Love is a Top 5...er..10..er...20 Nas song. I Am...The Autobiography would've been.

Stillmatic has Braveheart Party and that's all I have to say about that.

N!GGER would've been a classic.
