Official Nas Thread

[Pop123]

Does anybody else think that Nas improved lyrically like crazy as his career progressed? From like 1994 to 2012, lyrically he got better and better. It's only worth mentioning in here because it always seems like everybody thinks he was so much better back then...that's not the case. I can't even imagine Illmatic or IWW Nas being able to write the 1st verse of "Nazareth Savage", . Couldn't imagine "The Firm" Nas being able to write his verse on "Triple Beam Dreams". Etc...

Saleh is 100% right but I really think Stoute got exposed on the NFT gimmick.

How so?

Tier 1: Illmatic, Lost Tapes, Stillmatic, IWW,

Add Lost Tapes 2 to tier 4

Add Lost Tapes 2 to tier 4

Oh yeah even forgot about it, but yeah, belongs to Tier 4 to me, just because it was overall poorly executed and very far from LT1

 

[Sad Bunny]

Life is Good might be Tier 2 though.

I'd need to relisten though.

 

[SwizzLake]

My conservative list...in proper order. My stan list would put LIG and Untitled on classic tier

I'll move Lost Tapes 2 to the "Dope" category.

Def tier 2.

Nas got better lyrically over his career. Life is Good in particular is peek Nas lyricism in so many different way.

Peak Nas lyrically was prolly Stillmatic. Peak Nas overall was IWW.

Nas was better on untitled than life is good. I thought nas was better on LIG on terms of flow though. Nas peek is iww, iam nastradamus he was introspective as hell. And the creativity was at his max during Stillmatic God son era

He was lyrical on both but man go listen to a queens story and locomotive on life is good . Back when too

Peak Nas is definitely it was written I agree. I should have phrased it different. I was meaning more towards the later part of his career more so the beginning.
