When era did you consider nas peaked lyrically wise?

[H. Selassie]

Illmatic - IWW
The Real version of I AM (Lost Tapes) - God's Son
Untitled - Life Is Good

Nas might be the only rapper with three primes.

IWW era Nas might be the goat lyricist ever

 

[Jimmy the gent]

Gotta say 95-97 but he is on point at the moment too
But gotta agree with post up top he has never fallen off

 

[Jimmy Two-Times™]

'It Was Written' was the best album he's made in my opinion. '96 is lyrically when he peaked. When you are competing with 2Pac, Biggie Smalls, Mobb Deep, Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J, A Tribe Called Quest and The Fugees then you have to be conditioned to try and be the illest emcee.






That Pete Rock production

Two GOATs in their prime.
