It's an average of reviews, you can browse around and calculate your own average by hand too, no one is stopping you. Old nikkas and the Internet though :snoop:.



Nas Stans always feel that there's some conspiracy when people don't agree with them.
Always were and will forever be the worst Stans in Hiphop after the Slovakian FUBU wearing Pac Stans on YouTube.

i'm going to use your logic then


Illmatic= more critically acclaimed and any Jay-z/Kendrick/Drake album
Lost Tapes= 81 "universal acclaim"
street's disciple= 80"universal acclaim"
God's Son= 81 "universal acclaim"
Life is Good= 81 "universal acclaim"

since jay-Z has 4, Lamar has 2, and drake has 0 that at least gotta 80

Nas > Jay-z, Drake, and Lamar :heh:

J. Cole & Drake is a better comparison to Jay-Z and Nas. Drake being a hit single making machine, Cole being that conscious type rapper trying to fit in a mainstream industry with a huge following and people wishing he can live up to his potential equal to his debut... EXACTLY LIKE Nas. shyt, Nas himself pretty much cosigned to this notion and passed the baton to Cole.

GKMC gave me more of Illmatic feeling than anything Cole ever put out. let alone Nas/Lamar are just levels above Cole.

Drake has 4 that has 78-79, Drake is 1/100th and 2/100ths from all those albums. Mind you that Drake gets 1/5 reviews from funny people that you find on here.
Kendrick's album has 91 and his tape 80, and most people except Nas stans would call GKMC better than any Nas album since the 90s.
Most people not Jay stans would call it better than any album not named RD or Blueprint, shyt could even challenge Blueprint.

And how are you saying Nas > Jay-z, Drake and Lamar by Metacritic standards?
Jay-z in the 2000s has 88, 84, 83, 3 albums higher than any Nas album, cats throwing in compilations to compete :scust:, where's the greatest hits and the 10 year anniversary Illmatic album :mjlol:

Nas and jay-z during the 2000s is fair challenge though.

Accept drake don't got no classics :yeshrug:
I still don't understand how a man with no classics is supposed to be this generations Jay. Yeah, I get it, it's an easy comparison because they were both hot. But Jay had a classic debut, and was cooking on the booth. Drake has good music, nothing classic yet though. He has to drop at least one before nikkas wanna compare him to Hov.

Kendrick has one, and we'll see how this album is.

You sure you aint rewriting history breh:comeon:? For one thing Nas was pretty damn commercial and doing gangsta rap....Saying Nas was on his pro black/concious shyt when the Jay beef was brewing is like calling Don Mega Cube a conscious rapper.

Also saying he was considered the best rapper in the game during that period by critics or fans:mjlol:? Kenderick yes,Nas not so much.

I see the comparison though but its moreso for how people see Nas today,versus what he was when the beef kicked off with Jay.

Wtf nas was defiantly considered as the best rapper in the game ur buggin

funny that u are just highlighting Jay-Z best. Magna Carta had a 60 and scored a 65.

Nas never scored that low even on Untiled with all those weak beats.

Nas got Jay-Z beat when it comes to reviews overall. just face it.

So he has 3 albums that scored lower than any Nas album and 3 that scored higher than any Nas album. It might have to do with Jay-z experimenting, when he drops the standard shyt like AG or TBA, it's a safe route. He'd rather get new fans and do stadium tours in different continents.. Can't blame him at his age.

That's irrelevant, the comparison was between the new vs the old.
