All them dudes was biting nas, wishing they held the clout he did at the time. Jay sampled nas on his album, Nas was the highlight of rae's album. Az always wished he could be nas. And big changed up his whole style before lad dropped.
I dunno man...
nikkas so happy to hear a good Nas album, this sh*t's become a classic in a week.
And don't get me wrong, I think it's good too. I think it's great considering Nas' last 3-4 albums. Possibly the best he's done since Stillmatic (Lost Tapes doesn't count, that's a collection of unreleased songs over the years... that's like callin' a greatest hits album a classic). But let's not jump ahead of ourselves... "classic" might be premature.

nah, the lost tapes counts to me. most people had never heard those songs before, and if they did it was mixtape quality with dj tags. plus all the songs were from 99 or 2001. it wasn't like some were from 93, and others were from 96, etc. on top of that, the album flows well. top 3 nas release.
He sample Fat Joe on the album too. Whats your point?
AZ might have had the best verse on Illmatic and Doe or Die > IWW.
None of them were biting Nas. They were biting Kool G Rap. Nas looked around and saw that his raps weren't mafioso enough and next thing you know he's wearing a pink suit in the desert and reenacting Casino.

You ever heard Death of Escobar?
Keep waiting on that Firm Reunion album.
Disagree about AZ, only AZ fans(which i am) still talk about that album. IWW stood up to time a little better imo. but I agree with you about Kool G. I think they all kinda went that route together. As nas explained it they where all acusing each other of biting each other. But at the time nas was respected as the nicest mc out the bunch.
Nas is always re-inventing himself on each album..thats what great artists do.
Illmatic had that street, NY vibe
It Was Written had a larger than Life mood, but he still kept that shiit lyrical as fukk
I Am and Nastradamus was his attempt to cross-over to an even bigger public than IWW
Stillmatic was the Comeback album after Nas was written off..and people had forgotten about him.
Gods Son was his most personal album..his mom dying..the war with Jay.
Untitled and Hip Hop is Dead speak for themselves
Life is Good is a celebration of Life.
Find me another rapper who continues to grow as an artist but doesnt have to sell out to become relevant again

Completely agree.
Life is Good, is not a classic album, but it's a very good album and further proof that Nas is arguably the greatest rapper alive. Another notch on his already strong discography. To me Nas has 2 classic albums Illmatic, and I understand people will disagree with me, but Hip-Hop is Dead is a classic to me. I would put LIG in the 2nd Tier of great Nas Albums, IWW, Stillmatic, and God's Son.

Simply implying Nas wasn't perfect is like saying Katrina was a thunderstorm.
