I can't put this above LT1 just too many classics on there. 5-9 are interchangeable LIG KD2 GS Magic. I dare anybody to argue any MC has a catalogue anywhere close:wow: then you add the classic features verses unreleased songs that are classic how is it any debate who the GOAT is:mjlol:
I love LT1, having it ahead of Magic is fine with me. I was just listening to it a few days ago, listened twice, and I still skip “Fetus” and “Poppa was a player”…and I probably woulda skipped “No Idea’s Original” too but it’s been a while since I heard the version on the album so I let it play thru. Are those good songs? Of course, I just don’t necessarily revisit or bump them. With Magic I skip literally nothing at all, I love every song on the album. That is nuts…I don’t even love every song on Illmatic, :ohhh:. Magic is underrated to me, it’s praised but not enough. It’s not his most lyrical album but it’s arguably his most palatable/digestible/bumpin album…this is the album I would let non-Nas fans hear to get them on board…this and KD2

They rarely put deluxe songs on Vinyl it’s just like Roc Marci’s Reloaded album but anybody who has that album feels like it’s empty without the Deluxe tracks.

Damn bro I disagree with this. Reloaded ending with The Man is one of the dopest albums ever to me. Paradise for Pimps and I Shot the King (those are the deluxe joints right?) are good but clearly a step down from whats on the main album.

Like imagine if he would've opened the album with the those joints and tacked Tek to a Mac and Wee Ill on as deluxe tracks. That's basically what Def Jam did with LIG.
