Anyone saying this is better than LIG is on some premature bugout. Give the deluxe version another spin


Both 5 Mics


Hit Boy’s production i think is what puts KD2 on top. Its an evolution of what No ID and Salaam Remi accomplished with a more cinematic quality.


Songs like Store Run, Nobody, Composure, DEATH ROW EAST. Are simply undeniable.




Nas was doing shyt with his flow on BOTH albums that were nothing short Godly

Yeah…LIG Deluxe is top 5 Nas album. Yeah, we need to have a discussion of what to put above that phenomenal album.


I’m all for the discussion. Life Is Good deserves to be in that debate up there with It Was Written and Stillmatic where you automatically question another album being on its level

that's just off the top:pachaha::whew:
And the crazy thing is, I can without much thought name 20+ tracks to compete with this list that's just as strong, 80% of your list is Illmatic :laugh:

Only 1 song from Stillmatic and no songs from The Lost Tapes on your list. And don't even get me started on his unrelased/non-album tracks bag :wow:

Nobody is seeing Nas catalog.

This obsession with hyper focusing on Nas beats is one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen in hip hop. It goes beyond not liking beats and instead seems to center on the kind of beats Nas is “supposed” to be on. No matter the project, out of the woodworks you’re gonna get grown man remixing his albums with their own beats or refusing to listen because of the production credits but still commenting and making thesis statements on why the beats are wrong for Nas and all kinds of other weird shyt.

It’s honestly baffling even in its predictability.

I'm sure I'm late to replying to this and someone else has made this point but to me it's obvious: Nas is so next-level incredibly, unimpeachablly perfect as an MC that all they can criticize is the beats. Production is naturally a little more subjective than lyrical skill so it's easier to get away with nitpicking in that area.

Gave this album a whip test and it passed with flying colors :wow: And mind you, I got a 2015 Ford Fusion SE…Its sound quality is nice but it ain’t touching a Beemer’s audio system. So if y’all got a luxury whip with some crazy speakers, y’all definitely finna enjoy this shyt :whew: My mother drives a Beemer so Imma do a second whip test soon.

It was raining earlier too….Have y’all ever blasted 40 Side, Rare, Store Run, Nobody, and Count Me In from the whip while either cruising or going full speed on the highway during light or medium rain and gray skies? shyt was unbelievably beautiful brehs, most especially Nobody and Count Me In like holy fukk:mjcry: :mjcry::ohlawd:
