American Gangster came out in 2007, what the heck are you babbling out? The critically acclaimed American Gangster which Nas co-signed and was on?
American Gangster was the more cohesive album (obviously it did have a theme so it should be) and was better musically.
I'll have to sit on lyrically.
But here's a tough one, Cherry Wine vs. I Know.
Cherry Wine...No Question..
Cherry Wine just had me
AG is a solid album but not better than Untitled or LIG. Nas just proved me that he can do anything with his music that you don't know what to expect froim him. Jay-Z just like you wouldn't be surprised and I can expected him what he's going to do with that album. All I can saying is Jay-Z didn't impress me unlike Nas.
Jay-Z is more like care about marketplace/$$$, Nas is more like care about MUSIC, ART FORM, etc.
