1994-1996 Nas is the only perfect rapper in history

I've seen it praised and shytted on. To me it's a dope posse track. Some think it's a corny wu gambinos knock off.

Both of ya buggin

I love black girl lost and nas is coming

Black Girl Lost dope, Nas is Coming tho just seemed out of place on the album, maybe would have fit better on Dre Presents the Aftermath alongside East Coast West Coast Killaz

One of, if not the worst song on the album to me.

 

[feelosofer]

3rd best rapper in that time frame, I would put Biggie and 2Pac above him in that same span.

Facts

It Was Written is the greatest Hip Hop album of all time
Illmatic is the 2nd greatest Hip Hop album of all time

 

[UpAndComing]

It's Top 10

 

[Pop123]

Which two you scrapping?
And what two tracks you replacing em with?

Nas is Coming can go. I wouldn't miss Shootouts either if it weren't there. I was never crazy about Affirmative Action like that, the remix is like 10x better imo.

The Infamous or Illmatic you can’t go wrong with either one

I give The Infamous the edge because there are more tracks 16 to 10, but there are no weak ones on either album

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

He took his best pictures in '96 too, his pic technique was on point all year

 

[DrHackenbush]

Nas Escobar >

His verse on Fast Life is one of the most perfect verses ever

 

[NormanConnors]

Rakim's untouchable run was more impressive and longer

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Story time.

I didn't like Illmatic like that until prolly a decade after it's debut.

Sme of Nas' bars were just lazy or nonsensical even though he had an air tight rhyme scheme.

I recognized the classics right away but didn't like Halftime and other joints that seemed to lack direction.
