LIG definitely has higher highs, just a couple lesser songs on there (Summer on Smash which is filler and then Reach Out and World's an Addiction which Nas kills but the beats are just alright to me...and actually now that I think about it, Accident Murderers is fine but nothing amazing IMO, probably cuz I'm not that big of a Ross fan). And GNX isn't a weed plate lol. Objectively I'd probably have both of them at 4/5's. I don't think it's crazy to prefer one over the other.
Who has a better discography: Nas or Kendrick

to be fair, the kendrick thread is full of dikkriders pretending this is good musicNas stans in here calling Life is Good and I Am classics
this makes braveheart party look like T.R.O.Y.
I don't wanna get into this Nas vs. Kendrick thang, specifically, but the rap game isn't something like hoops. New rappers don't just surpass rappers from the past like that as by having a deeper skill set, accolades/accomplishments and ability.nikkas fear that greats from the prime years of their life will be passed up..
It's going to happen to all of them
Kendrick is doing it
Rap doesn't have things like shooting percentages or scaling of dificulty of shots to determine who's a better scorer.
Because rap is entirely subjective and you have to account for originality, cultural impact and the essence as it is as an artform, greats don't just get surpassed like that.
I agree as long as we don’t include
Stillmatic
Lost Tapes 1
Gods Son
Life is Good
KD1
KD2
KD3
Magic 1
Outside of those your probably right

Pass me the rock nikka
Accident Murderers is better than anything on GNX

Kendrick and its not close to being close. The conversation these last few years for best discogaphy in hip hop has always been Kendrick Lamar, Outkast, Kanye West and Scarface.
All of kendrick albums rank from great to classics, while Nas has some really bad stuff.
I have never seen or heard anyone, outside of maybe thecoli, talks about Nas as one of the best catalogs in rap, never.
Kendrick has some of the best albums ever, so does Nas, but unlike Nas, Kendrick doesn't have any miss.
You could also have the argument that Nas has the most impactful album (illmatic), but Kendrick has the best album (to pimp a butterfly).

Nas having a catalog that can match Kendrick's is pretty much a coli thing for old heads caught in nostalgia. But in general, when talking about who has the best catatalog from a quality angle, Kendrick clears and that might be the reason why ny nikkas are mad...the consensus is written in stone.
i hate the coli nas stans just as much as anybody else but we aint gonna do that with LIG. shyt was nas best album since stillmatic and just an overall extremely dope project. i wouldnt call it a classic (4.25ish), but damn (4.5/5) and gnx (4.25/5) are right on par with it.

I'd say Kendrick has a stronger discography. But I'd rather listen to Nas.
Is this the thread where bruhs call everything a classic
most people in that thread outside of the kendrick bot farm and super stans said that song was the only real major miss on the album.

Kendrick...Only illmatic would fit in Kendrick's catalog if it was a Dot album
