Do any Nas and Jay Z fans agree with me on this?

KG and BP3. I remember not caring for KG at all and thinking BP3 was dope when it was released. Fast forward to today and for me BP 3 is an album where everything after track 7 is mid or just bad to me. Whereas the only song I dont like on KG now is "Anything". People hated Hollywood, but I always thought Jay flowed on it and B fit well. Then it has so many strong tracks (lost ones, prelude, etc.).



Stillmatic and God Son: When Stillmatic dropped I was in college hype off Ether and I played that album to death. I still to this day think it's a dope (classic maybe) Nas album... only songs on it I dont like are Braveheart Party and Rule. It's a dope album. But to me God's Son is damn near flawless. Song after song of just pure dopeness. The "mature" content (thugs manzion, warrior songs, dance, heaven) stick with me more now that I'm older.








Finally this album is dope as shyt:

I used to rank it as just OK in his discography. But the past month or so, I've been playing it and it moved up a lot to me. Look at these tracks:

I also like theme albums. So he touches on his feelings for hiphop, it's downfall, its pioneers, where it's going in a non preachy way.











Thoughts?

I've always thought that HHID was a dope album. It gets overlooked and ranked lower than a lot of Nas' other albums, but there are a lot of good tracks on it. Only two I'm not really into (You Can't Kill Me, Blunt Ashes), and the tracklisting/sequence could use some work, but it's a decent project at worst.

Crazy, I agree 100%

Kingdom Come is an album that I enjoyed much more than most, HHID as well, I rode for both of those albums in real time.

I always preferred Godson to Stillmatic, I liked Streets Disciple a hell of a whole lot though it should have been condensed to 1 disc.

One of my favorite things about being Jay and Nas fan is when they kinda make the same song just in their own way, eg.
