And the thing about that is that's just some of his albums. He has so many classic albums, songs and features it's crazy. And we need somebody that actually has the the true knowledge of those records to bring them up when losers come with arguments. Tell these people to go listen go blaze a 50, fetus, poppa was a player, I gave you power, on mic, New York state of mind pt 2, the message. Etc.. the list goes on and these dudes try to narrow him down to illmatic. I wish somebody would come at me with that weak argument.

I'm sure he gets paid handsomely for those shows and performances, merch etc.. so I can see that being difficult. However I would suggest him digging through it was written, I am gods son, stillmatic, nastradamus unreleased, life is good untitled and show case those tracks more. He has so many gems.

Yeah I had the misfortune of seeing that Lonzo shyt now. I come across so much slander towards Nas I’m honestly numb to it at this point. I’m just disappointed albums like Stillmatic, God Son and Life is Good don’t get mentioned anymore cause we all lived through their impact and acclaim
I’m more disappointed Big Boy ain’t school him than just sit there stunned

Thing is where are the writers and blue check dudes to champion the other stuff as well
Dude had Mass Appeal as a site right there

Alot of these magazine n shyt are white people who are obsessed with Illmatic and have no problem erasing the other shyt. Nas himself has to shine enough light on these projects. The 20th anniversaries of both IWW and I Am have came and went and Nas did nothing for them aside from posting them. With Illmatic he does tours and live shows and ballrooms and merch and documentaries and album rereleases etc etc. None of that shyt is being done for his other music.
This.
I already had the double disc 10th anniversary edition of Illmatic. They came out with a remastered version of it in 2014 for the 20th Anniversary. I thought it was overkill. Nas is on record saying It Was Written is one of the most creative LP's ever to hit stores, but we don't have anything to commemorate it other than replaying the album. That album's legacy is largely overlooked and I get why its overlooked and I think it's some BS. Yeah, it is more commercial and polished than Illmatic and turned purists against Nas and people view it as the turning point in which Nas became more commercial. Still, its bogus to write IWW and Nas's other albums off in favor of showing love to Illmatic as if showing love to his other albums takes away from Illmatic's greatness.
I don't even think live shows and documentaries would be necessary for It Was Written, but a repackaged album that includes:
Silent Murder
Street Dreams (Remix)
Watch Dem nikkas (Alternate version)
Street Dreams (original alternate version)
Take It In Blood (alternate version)
Sinful Living
Deja Vu (mastered)
-Unreleased songs from the It Was Written sessions

Why does Atkins diet Shrek keep going at Nas? 
That would be dope. Understanding, Life's Like a Dice Game and It Was a Lady Cop Sucking a Thug's dikk, which Nore asked him about on Drink Champs, are all from that era. Throw remastered versions of The Foulness series on there too.
