One was "nah", the other was illmatic

[Alexander Wiggin]

So judging by the snippet, it's seem that life is good is gonna be epic

So are we agree once and for all that Nas has the best solo discography of us rap

I mean

classic/semi classic material

illmatic
it was written
stillmatic
god's son
life is good


good albums

i am
street's disciple
hip hop is dead
******

average albums

nastradamus

no to mention the lost tapes and distant relatives which are near classic and the average firm album which still contains classic tracks


Other than that I can only think of too short, ll cool j, masta ace, jay z, devin the dude or ice cube when it comes to solid discography, but none of them are as powerful or strong. Masta Ace and Devin are maybe the most consistent of the list with only good albums on their belt but no true hip hop classic

 

[JYoung24]

I would put untitled and distant relatives as a classic too

 

[zerozero]

nas classics to me = illmatic, iww, lost tapes, untitled

 

[AkaDemiK]

nikka fukk that Jay-Z Quote

 

[10:31]

I'am
Nastra
Streets Diciple
HHID

are average ass Nas albums


Illmatic
Stillmatic
God's Son
Untitled

Are his strongest albums easily

QB FINEST
DISTANT RELATIVES are dope too

 

[Ndiema]

i am... is a great nas album imo.

 

[prophecypro]

I think he's got an unfairly dimissed catalogue sometimes...

Plenty of people seem to trash everything he's done after Illmatic, but to me he's got one of the more solid discographies in the game to say the least.

 

[Abstract83]

Disposable Arts and Long Hot Summer were damn near classic to me. Along with Little Brother's The Minstreal Show and The Foreign Exchange albums But yes nas got a ill catalog

 

[Capitol]

Will yall shut the **** up about this album being a classic before you have even heard it? God damn

 

[H.S.]

i am... is a great nas album imo.

Yeah, I Am is a pretty damn good record.
