Ironically, Nas has become the most consistent artist in hip hop history

[Loose]

Yeah lets pretend Nas hasnt been dropping duds until Life is Good for 10 years straight... fukk outta here

What dud has nas dropped?

 

[spliz]

I though X was primed for a long run when he first came with It's Dark And Hell Is Hot. Four strong albums in a row ain't bad. Grand Champ tho...

Grand Champ>>>>>> The Great Depression...

 

[Wild self]

Yeah, and if you think about it, like another poster said, the "Kufi" rappers have endurance to have long, consistent careers. Nas played his cards right and drop good albums, with the occasional dud. I remember an interview with Jim Jones back in 06 at the height of his success of "ballin" and he said that Nas is a has been and a wash up. Now look at 2012.

What dud has nas dropped?

Gods Son - garbage
SD - garbage
HHID - garbage
Untitled -
DR - garbage, Damian killed him on damn near every track

 

[Loose]

Gods Son - garbage yea ok fakkit
SD - garbage above average
HHID - garbage 4/5 album
Untitled - classic
DR - garbage, Damian killed him on damn near every track classic material

you either white or a fakkit pick one

Jay got duds in his catalog....Eminem DEFINITELY does....Biggie only had 2 albums PERIOD..lol...

And Nas doesn't have any duds? This is why this conversation is silly, it's all subjective because you'll only see what you want to see, as a fan.

Grand Champ>>>>>> The Great Depression...

Don't know what it was about Grand Champ. Too many skip-worthy songs, IMO. Great Depression just kept hitting you (School Street, Trina Moe, Who We Be), plus it brought back our boy Damien. That When I'm Nothing track even had me going

who said he didn't...I think the ONLY albums that can honestly be considered duds by him is Nastradamus and Street's Disciple...even tho I like Street's Disciple...

 

[thelonious21]

nas is nicer than ghostface, but ghost never made something as bad as nastradamus or s.d.

now i see why your in RED


GFK has like one good album

 

[H.S.]

If you think Godson is garbage you're probably just not a fan of Nas' music.

Never thought of it like that. I think it's all about growing with your audience. You can't do that by pandering to them doing the same records over and over.

yup nas stans take the cake as the most delusional fanbase ever

Nas has about 3 classics, 2 great/good albums and the rest of his discography is garbage

Exactly, thats why most consistent should be Jay, because at the risk of pissing of all the forums he does music that feels right for him at the time. And it succeeds everytime, which is why his fanbase is immensely larger then Nas.

Consistency shouldn't be based on one person liking every album they make, but whether or not it succeeds in the eyes of the people. Not everyone will like the same Jay albums, but at least a million different people do every time out, thats consistency.

Still the most inconsistent of the goats imo.

SD,Hiphop Is Dead,Untitled wuz all duds to me while Distant Relatives wuz just aihght....he has the batting average of LL Cool J to be honest,but becuz he's a better rapper than LL he can always get by lyrically with sum people....not to kick off a war but if we talkin length of careers Jay and E40 who I know y'all don't consider a goat but go to hell nikka,is more consistent....Jay I swear has a system where he drops a great or classic album,then a wack or a ehhh...I think one of his producers stated he does it on purupose and I believe it and probaly know y.

your whole perspective is whack
