First 10 tracks, I thought so too......until I heard "Bravehearted party" :francis:

But Stillmatic ended 2001 strong. Def one of the best albums of the 00s.

No...it's not. An album with Braveheart Party on it cannot be considered one of the greatest albums of all time. Not to mention some of the other forgettable to meh tracks towards the end like Rule and Every Ghetto, and the mixed bag production wise. Those flaws stand out even more given that its always compared to The Blueprint, which is flawless sonically (beats/production), although it has a couple meh tracks too.

It's a 4/5.

There's weak tracks on Paid In Full, The Chronic, Ready to Die, 7 Day Theory, The Infamous, Doggystyle, etc.

does that take away from their classic iconic status?

A classic and Nas' most "crisp" sounding album imo. If that makes sense.

Beleive it or not when i think “Crisp” and Nas discography i think Gods Son. I think a little more “gutter” or even “passionate” when i think of Stillmatic.

When i say “passionate” i say that because Nas isn’t really known for putting “feeling” into his songs, say the way Pac does. But you can FEEL Nas bearing his soul on stillmatic. Whether its disgust (Ether) depression (Your Da Man) redemption (One Mic) reflection (2nd Childhood) “Ghetto Pain” (Every Ghetto) you can tell Nas MEANT every single lyric of that album.

theres no WACK tracks on those albums. theres like 3 or 4 garbage songs on stillmatic. you can point out under-whelming songs on most of those albums, but nothing WACK.

also, stillmatic doesn't have nearly as many homerun tracks as most of those LPs.

stillmatic was great but not great enough to be considered a classic, let alone top 10-20 like most of the LPs you listed. its prolly not even in my top 100 albums, to keep it 100(pun intended).
