How u gonna keep someone else’s ratings for albums u ain’t even bother listening to? I honestly haven’t met a person rate Untitled that low

I did listen to them and didn't like them so I'm probably gonna have them in the same range. They're his worst albums and below a 3.5.

Untitled sounded like a bunch of throwaway songs that never should have seen the light of day. Production was weak.

All good ratings except LT1 is a 5 mic classic to me. Literally perfect.

Yeah it is but the only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because it wasn't an official studio album, but I definitely get it being a 5 in many people eyes and having it high up in his catalog. I also would've like to had
the Rise and Fall on there, it would've ended the album perfectly.

I don't rate albums, but I can rank them. I'll just leave Nastradamus at the bottom for now, but I'll get back to it one day.

Great breakdown. I never understood the hate (years later, it wasn't really shytted on in 99) for I Am... There's too many top notch classic tracks on there for it to be anything below 4.

On your list I'd just switch LIG for GS personally. And, I'm not sooooo mad at Nasir, there's some joint I really love, basically the last 4 tracks out of 7, not that bad of a ratio

Same for Nastradamus, not in the same proportions, but there's some of the deepest verse of his career on there (amongst a pile oh shyt though )

Yep you can argue there's at least 4 top 10 Nas songs on I Am Nas is like NYSOM 2 Small World Undying Love anything less then 4
Not gonna disagree about GS there's some absolute classic shyt on it just some songs I don't care for
Nasir I didn't like at tho the one Nas album I skip entirely

I love Nastradamus. Always thought it was dope and I still put it in rotation. SD is low to me because it only has a handful of joints I still go back to. Same with HHID. Nasir was a dope little appetizer for the time being but its not really fleshed out enough. LT2 has some joints I definitely love
