Stillmatic vs The Blueprint

[tybo]

Blueprint had better production but look at these songs man...

Stillmatic intro
ether
rewind
destroy and rebuild
you're the man
one mic
poison
every ghetto
no ideas original
2nd childhood
got yourself a gun

COT DAMN this album was fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and silly people question whether its a classic

Both albums brought innovations to the game, both dropped at the same time, both had shots towards each other. Blueprint solidified Jay's name in the game and helped launch Kanye's career, and Stillmatic revitalized Nas' career.

This ends right here, right now.

blueprint hands down it aint even a contest

and your stillmatic tracklisting was not the original list
that song Braveheart party is possibly the worst song by any major artist I've ever heard

actually after the song destroyed and rebuilt you might as well turn off the album because the next 5 to 6 songs there after his isn't worth listening too

 

[beck]

'Sex with death, indulge in these women
Envision my own skeleton swimming in eternal fire
Broads play with pentagrams in they vagina
Like the Exorcist,then they gave birth to my seeds
I beg for God's help, why they love hurting me?
I'm your disciple, a thug certainly'

and nowadays they in love with the coco, and wonder why people are nostalgic and always talking about these 2

Blueprint and it's not even close. Stillmatic only got 5 mics because Blueprint did.

I've felt this way for the longest time now. Stillmatic is your typical nas album after illmatic...has a few of his greatest songs and then its scattered with average or straight skippers. I would've accepted lost tapes for 5 mics a lot easier.

 

[Tom Foolery]

Some tracks on Blueprint I just don't like.
-I think Hola Hovito is one of the worst hip-hop song I've ever heard. To me that track didn't blend in with the flow of the whole album.
-Izzo is aight but still a bit to pop-ish for me.
-Jigga that nikka was meh to me, feels like another crossover pop beat. The hook is fruity as hell.

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

Blueprint cause of the production but Nas is probably a better rapper.

 

[wingstop]

If nas new how to actually put an album together he'd have classic after classic. But the shyt he does is just ass backwards sometimes. I see now why his debut was so flawless, cuz his record company selected all the tracks for him. Could you just imagine if he replaced the weak stillmatic tracks I mentioned with some of the lost tapes tracks? You'd be looking at another Illmatic, maybe something even better.

^^ That shyt would have been classic.

[Deadman187]

Blueprint easily. Stillmatic had some trash on it

Smokin, Braveheart party, My Country, Rule

The beat to Destroy and Rebuild was straight garbage, and The flyest was ruined by a corny ass hook

I'm fukking dying right now. I completely forgot that was on Stillmatic.

Sometimes I think Nas is straight up trolling when he does stuff like that. "Summer On Smash", "Who Killed It".... these are some of the worst songs ever

 

[Luck]

Stillmatic has some straight garbage tracks that you couldn't even sit through. Was not consistent throughout the album with classic or even playable tracks

With blueprint, whether you disliked some of the songs or not there wasn't any terrible tracks on the record, you just wasn't feeling it but you could let it play through

Consistency wins in all areas of life and the same applies here

 

[DeuceCypherUno]

The Blueprint is a better album overall. Way better production and Jay-Z was no slouch on the mic.

Stillmatic is a classic album for me but it's simply on a lower tier.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Consistency wise and production wise Blueprint has to win. Multiple classic tracks, amazing production front to back. Stillmatic has better lyricism but it also has shyt like Bravehearts Party and Rule. The best couple tracks on Stillmatic are better but overall Blueprint wins.

You can play it front to back anywhere. Can't say that about Stillmatic.

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Stillmatic, too many classic verses.
