IWW was dope. Everyone loved it.....but some people said nas sold out when it first dropped... I guess because it wasn't as gritty as Illmatic and had some mainstream appeal. Lauren Hill fearure etc....Whatever. It's a classic.

Why no one likes I am though. Like no one ever talks about it. It's a classic too. Nastradamus and streets disciple are the only skippable nas albums Imo....

I liked Kingdom Come. Still play 4 tracks from that album today which is a lot for a 10 year old album. Dig a Hole, Kingdom Come, I tried to pretend a nikka different but in the end we're all the same, the song directed at Dame Dash. I cant call it trash but i can understand.

Bluprint 2 was bloated but it had classics. 4 dope songs on each disc there. Not trash at all OP. Just bloated.

MCHG was so trash....i never really even bothered with it. i was over rap at that point.
Bluprint 3 was trash but venus vs mars still goes hard

black album was just ok for me, nothing special. encore,threats and what more can i say
Im still playing Dynasty non stop from beginning to end. 1800 hustler nikka. Change the game. shyt is piff.
Then there is
Bluprint 1, Reasonable Doubt, Vol2, Vol 3 and American Gangster. 5 unquestionably dope albums.

OP lost.
Negged :pdahellclean:

Vol 1, BP 3, Black Album, Kingdom Come and MCHG can be debated....a lot of people have issues with them.......BUT

Bluprint 1, Reasonable Doubt, Vol2, Vol 3 and American Gangster are almost unanimously considered as really good albums.

Thats already half his catalog as certified piff. even if the other half is 70% trash. Thats still very impressive. Aside from LL no one comes close. Its one of the longest sales runs in rap history.:francis:
Can't agree on VOl 2 and 3.
At all.

Jay has some duds but BP2 isn't one of them. It reminds me of another forced double LP in Streets Disciple in that if I cut the fat there's still enough really good songs to make it a quality body of work.
BP2 was absolutely a dud.
