Who has a better discography: Nas or Kendrick

[Ike omad]

You're comparing Blueprint 3 to IWW? Huh?

IWW is eons better than BP3.

What are we talking about here? How is IWW not a great album?

IWW isn't a classic but Damn is?

The recency bias in this thread is WILD

Whats wrong with the bp3/iww comparison?

Never seen iww getting better recognition in real life lol.

Nas doesn't have a single song with this level of complexity rythm wise...matter of fact, only Andre 3000 is seeing Kendrick in that aspect. And guess what? that's not even kendrick's most technical song. Nas is a great rapper, but do never compare him to kendrick ever again when it comes to the other artistic stuff

Damn alone, might be the best rap album when it comes to rythms and notes

That dikk grow big as the Eiffel Tower shyt was always

Damn near ruined the song

The musicianship and production of the album was great he got a great team of producers and live musicians for it hence its influence in jazz however that shyt was unappreciated and came and went.

The album is nowhere near one of the greatest in hip hop history.

Considering it's getting more praise than ever, and even got ranked #1 all time on public plateforms, I highly doubt it came and went lol
you're right, it's one of the greatest albums, regardless of the genre.

An album that is currently being compared to the likes of Kid A, Ok Computer, Prince best album and shyt like that certainly didn't come and go.

Now, these Nas albums, that you (in particular) said received high praise upon release but got forgotten, now you can have the argument that they came and went.

Ain’t you a cac? Not that I’m saying there’s anything wrong with that but it’ll make sense

How you gonna dismiss Humble a genuine banger and then talk up albums that have straight GARBAGE music like Braveheart Party, Summer on Smash, even corny shyt like Got Yrself a Gun ain't fukkin with Humble.

DAMN is a masterwork. It's melodic and catchy but with still a lot of lyrical depth and high quality eclectic production, the type of shyt people been wanting Nas to rap over for years. But he's stuck on Hitboy's fisher price my first Just Blaze mid trash.

See the thing with some of you Nas stans is that yall live in a bubble with that weird ass Nas fanboy thread. The idea that it's inconceivable that people like Damn more than Life is Good or God's Son says more about you. Most people will laugh in your face if you said that to them.

And if fukk with them albums. I was out there for years arguing that God's Son was a dope ass album when people were clowning shyt like Zone Out and I Can and calling Salaam Remi a trash producer. I swore up and down UNTITLED was best album of 08. But there's levels to this shyt. DAMN is a canon classic. These Nas albums are fringe cult classics at best.

Your naming the songs that everyone bashes anyways stupid, You Owe Me> Humble foh. Damn is a great album but it’s far from some all encompassing musical masterpiece, it’s a great album with production and great hooks and a few highlights lyrically while some tracks are down right poor lyrically, but good conceptually.



it’s an album people who don’t respect rap music will over praise due to some type of inferiority complex, we have a whole generation of fans who have been widely influenced by Rolling STones and Pitchfork.

Sounds white.

Not bad for an album that supposedly came and went, but is still influencing great musicians, being praised by these musicians as the goat album and currently sees his spot moving from "best rated rap album" to "best rated music album ever", not just by critics but by music fans in general.

Sounds white.

That's ok. You think that

Whats wrong with the bp3/iww comparison?

Never seen iww getting better recognition in real life lol.

IWW is a classic, BP3 isn't

IWW showed a lot of rappers how to mix commercial with hardcore

Without IWW, a lot of rappers careers look different

Meanwhile BP3 is considered a frisbee in Jay's discography with a couple hits

 

[Ike omad]

IWW is a classic, BP3 isn't

By who? Nas fans? that make it a cult classic at best then

I can keep naming songs. Stillmatic has so much weak shyt. My Country, Smokin, Rewind is some half baked shyt

The highs on Stillmatic are very high but it doesn't really work as an album. I've always preferred God's Son.

 

[Revolutionary]

Depends on who you ask.

Thecoli (minority)? probably Nas

Rest of the world (vast majority) probably Kendrick

Ok yeah let’s close this thread.

He probably couldn’t tell lol, the pretentiousness is fake, not one of these nikkas can play a single instrument or sing well.

With Kendrick every rhyme is a quadruple entendre, every verse points to some deep social critique, when he writes it’s the most technical shyt ever apparently his shyt is all in iambic pentameter

Ok yeah let’s close this thread.

Could you imagine the glaze if Kendrick made My Country or Rewind
