Nas really got 5 classics. Name which other rapper that got 5 classic rap albums. Honestly.

Where are the fillers on LAD?

Yo that second disk was damn near all filler.

Get down
Made you look
Last real nikka alive
Book of rhymes
Thugz mansion
Mastermind
Revolutionary warfare
Dance
Heaven

All make God's son a classic. If y'all calling life after death and all eyez on me classics despite both albums having an abnormal amount of fillers then God's son is classic even its got a average songs on it. Give nas the respect he deserves.

I agree

Nas doesn’t have five classic albums, and I like how you tried to throw a wrench on Jay Z before we started.

Both Jay Z and Nas have four classic albums. Jay z could have five, but we’ll see how 4:44 ages.

I'd give Jay 2.
Nas I would give three. Lost Tapes is tough to evaluate.

Jay

RD
TBP
TBA
AG
444

Nas is still goat

You could make a case for TBA, but it's uneven. Same with AG, but a much tougher case. 444 is too new. Who knows how it will be thought of in ten years?

 

[mobbinfms]

This... Rakim and Tribe make an argument for 3.

Mobb Deep too

 

[feelosofer]

I'm a Nas stan and I only think he has 2 classics, arguably 3. Illmatic and HHID and arguably Stillmatic. But he also has a lot of great albums though.

 

[bucks3115]

IWW and Stillmatic r definitely classics

Change still with illmatic

[Inspect Her Deck]

Nas...5 classics?

He has 1 consensus and 1 debatable classic and that's as far as it goes.

Cube has 2 consensus solo classic albums, a classic EP (if it counts), a classic group album and another debatable solo classic.

GOAT.

 

[hayesc0]

I love nas but 5 classics?

 

[Majestic]

I love nas but 5 classics?

Yes lol. Possibly 6 with life is good but that's for another discussion.

 

[MostHatedBox]

Outkast
Cube
Pac
Jay Z



Nas still the goat though

 

[mobbinfms]

AG is Lyrically and production wise is on par if not better than TBA

They are both great albums.
That's the problem with classic discussions. Is every great album a classic?
Time is the ultimate factor.
With time it's obvious that BP is on that classic level and TBA and AG are not.
Just like Stillmatic is and GS is not.

 

[MR. Conclusion]

Now Jay on the other hand may have at least 3.

RD
TBP
TBA
AG

If someone wants to argue 3 out of 4 of those are classic albums then I can't be mad at that.

 

[mobbinfms]

But the lost tapes is?

Lost Tapes is easily the best out of the three. But it's not a real album.

 

[mobbinfms]

Outkast

First three, but nothing after that.

I respect yout hip hop opinion, but I have to disagree with you here. AG is a classic. That's the album everyone refers to when they talk about the last time they felt Jay was on point album wise.

Plus that shyt was trill AF.
