Nas' Street's Disciples underrated or mediocre?

[Prince.Skeletor]

dopeee

 

[MMM]

in his top 5

 

[JAYHOVA110]

The song Streets Disciple>>>>>>>>>>. This nikka completely and utterly blacked all the way the fukk out on that joint

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

it wasn't the first i heard, but the first I bought so in that regard its something i considered special at the time

looking back solid 6.5-7 out of 10. there are some missteps but it has one of the best back to back to backs in his career with 'just a moment', 'rest of my life', 'reason'

those are the kind of songs i havent really seen nas do too much since and thats why i like SD a lot. and then shyt like suicide bounce, no one else in the room, war. i think his creativity was on point this album, he tried a lot of nice concepts

 

[prophecypro]

I liked it

 

[prophecypro]

I like around 10-12 songs. That's about the average good to bad ratio for post Stillmatic Nas.

That's a whole album of good songs and still better a better number than you will find of good stuff on other people's albums

 

[Big Mel]

Eh. Only 5 or so are legit bangers. Just because 10 songs are "good" doesn't mean they're up to the artists potential.

5 bangers plus 7 good joints? Realistically that's a good ratio for any artist.

 

[NoHalfWay]

He left off Foul Breeze, Talk of New York, On The Real and some other fire tracks over some ass songs.

He was far and away my favorite rapper at the time so I would listen to whatever he dropped, but looking back, it was shaky. This was where he started to lose the momentum he had with the public that he had built up with Stillmatic.

I think Hip Hop is Dead's uneveness was the final straw for some but the shame in that is that his last 2 albums have been much better and have him back on track. As much as I like SD them soul/NO ID beats would have been great on his previous 3 LP's just to satisfy the masses

I can see your point because the hype of that did have the public paying attention just off that title and it didn't go over as well as he would have liked. But that's what I mean. I used to try to put people onto Nas playing that album (SD) my freshman year of high school and they fell asleep....literally. I actually liked HHID more than DR and LIG which people on here seem to like. I feel like it has more replay value.

 

[JAYHOVA110]

I could have done without Virgo, the Rakim tribute joint, Getting Married, Perfect bytch, These Are Our Heroes, American Way, & Remember The Times.

 

[Alexander Wiggin]

I love that album, that's one of the albums where the beats lets the mc shine, and that's only possible when the mc is that good. But the beats are good though, simple and classy without being flashy. I rarely listen to this cd to be honest but when i do I like to listen to it a to z, at home, chillin, like a journey.

 

[Hypris]

Street Disciple is not a favorite of mine but it has some good tracks. Would have been better if it wasn't a double album. A lot of those songs were mediocre.
