So NAS got 4 classics

[frush11]

nikkas are really getting salty because someone isn't going along with the hype, and has actually formulated an opinion of their own.

Album is not great to me, too many filler tunes, sloppy flow, uninspiring lyrics, generally boring beats, don't make a great/classic album to me.

Lost tapes is a classic album? Nas fanboys live in their own world.

 

[JoelB]

will do breh


what time you want me to pm you then?

Mornings are good...I like to start my day off with a glass of OJ and a turkey n neg croissant.

 

[Izanami]

Classics (illmatic, IWW, Lost Tapes, Stillmatic)

Great albums (I Am, Gods Son, HHID, Untitled)

Average Albums (SD,Nastradamus)


This album is about 4.5/5 right now time will tell if I can give it 5

 

[Jet]

Illmatic
It Was Written
Stillmatic (my second copy don't have BH Party)
Untitled
Lost Tape.

Life Is Good is beautiful, but Summer On Smash null's it from being classic. I bet the AZ track would had been a perfect segue than that Swizzie trash.

Then what about 'Make the World Go Round' on Untitled?

You want to know something funny, on the Ipod I switched Make the World Go Round with Letter to the King.

"fukkboy hating on nas..eat a dikk breh"


smack who is that nikka...you do realize you're the only one whose been that pathetic to neg me because i'm not dikkriding the album, whilst already saying Nas is my favorite rapper


you throw illogical tantrums irl when someone doesn't agree with you?


Let me just state, out of all the dudes who've thrown rocks at me for stating my opinion....0% of you have given me reasons why my opinion is shyt

 

[iPod Raheem 2.0]

you want me to hurt your feelings?

Great songs

Cherry Wine
Stay

Ok songs

Reach Out
Loco-Motive (the way Nas starts the verse at 2:36 is status though)
The Don
Back When
Bye Baby

Filler Songs

Accident Murderers
A Queens Story
Nasty
Daughters (I don't care what you brehs say, he could've done much better with the lyrics in this song, reminds me of how people feel about 'rewind'
Worlds an addiction
You wouldn't understand
The Black Bond
Roses
Where's The Love

Wack songs

Summer On Smash


So yeah imo when one song shy of half an album is and he other song to make the half is status, yeah...the album shouldn't see no rating higher than 3-3.5

I can also go into why i've put the songs in those categories but do you really care about my opinion like that?

People frontin' on rewind now, too?

I did the same thing

 

[H.S.]

Why do people say one or two songs they don't like makes it not classic? I think fans sell themselves short with that approach. Music isn't supposed to be perfectly tailored to every fan's personal taste. That's not what makes it special imo. It's like y'all respect consistent mediocrity rather than ambitious music. I'll take an album with a handful of truly transcending efforts and some others that fall short, than a project that panders to what people expect to hear. Ironically, LIG is pretty much consistently transcendent through and through (in terms of rhymes, beats, subject matter, and even the album cover), and y'all STILL find a reason to shyt on it.

But a better question is what album's do you think have been classic in the last 5 years? Because I honestly can't think of any album you couldn't nitpick and find a reason to modify the tracklist.

you donut...i love 'rewind' but the critique I gave Daughters (the concept of song not being executed well) is what a lot of people have said about rewind in the past


Are my basic posts going over you lots heads or something?

A better point to make is why do people feel like an album has to be a classic or garbage? What's wrong with saying an album is good?

Nothing is wrong with saying an album is good. There's also nothing wrong saying an album is classic if you don't love every song. I don't like "Gimme The Ass" on Stone Crazy, but I still think it's a classic Beatnuts album.
