Whats yall top 3 songs on this? you Ive played this shyt till im numb i think a need a break. My face everytime RARE comes on tho :scust:


Top 3

Rare
Nobody
Store Run


After extreme stanlike dissection id say 1st half of the album is the stronger half. I don't know where to place this in the NaS album list. Like is it better than Distant Relatives? Not to me. Or LT2? Maybe? It just adds to an already GOAT collection. Its crazy this man is almost 50 doing this shyt. Salute the Big homie from BK but he ain't doing this.
Its either 5th or 6th LIG&KD2 is preference honestly for me. The top 4 are solidified Imo Illmatic IWW LT Stillmatic

Yea it's tough to place KD2 in the Nas discogcraphy.....is it Top 3? Top 5?
1) Illmatic
2) It was Written
3 ) Stillmatic? KD2? Lost Tapes 1? God's Son?

The top 2 are set as for me personally Illmatic and It was Written are the top 2......however that third and fourth spot is up for grabs.....bc Nas has a lot of really good above average albums that aren't quite classics (God's son, Streets disciple, Stillmatic, Life is Good, etc.....)




We MIGHT be looking at top 5 but top 3 in my opinion is blasphemy because you can’t disrespect Illmatic/It Was Written/Stillmatic


And top 5 it would bring me pain to replace Gods Son but ultimately I think KD2 will prove to be a stronger body of work.


So for ME it would look like


Illmatic
It Was Written
Stillmatic
Untitled
KD2


So i’m putting KD2 over 1 classic (Life Is Good) and one 4.5 Mic effort in God’s Son.






Nas has the strongest most diverse discography in Hip Hop history. Damn:wow:

His catalogue crazy. I’m now having second thoughts of ranking it above God’s Son. So many classic songs on there now that I think back .

how you gonna have an album with Get down, made your look, heaven, book of rhymes, dance, last real nikka alive and it isn’t in your top 5. Who else can say that!?

I may need to do some reflection on this haha

Yea some of Nas albums are prevented from being str8 classics because of like 1 or 2 just average songs, usually the singles when he tries to be too radio friendly or commerical.....he usually fails......originally on Stillmatic when Braveheart party was on there that 1 song prevented it from being 5 mics. Now that it was taken off I think more highly of it and rank it higher in Nas catalogue.

On God's son it was Zone out......etc.....on LIG it was Summer on Smash........ KD2 it's YKTV.....

For some reason Nas always fails at the singles.....but the rest of the album cuts are usually 4/5 or 5/5

Zone Out was an album cut not a single.


And Nas has had dope singles with contemporary producers ranging from Polow Da Don (Hero) to Will I Am (Can’t Forget About You)
