He sounds like one of those stupid ass Nas stans saying that Jay-z only has one good album :mjlol:-

No one has knocked him out since Ross had to pay 300k either :francis:.


He must be trolling, first he drops the stupid statement and then he says that the albums aren't nice cause they aren't as nice as Illmatic.
Songs are not dope cause they are not as dope as NYSOM. It only had 10 songs, Thriller was a double album:yawn:. I've never heard this white Q say anything that gives him the right to call himself DJ anything. And really DJ's are often not the deepest hiphop heads, a lot of them strictly know how to get broads to shake their ass.

Nas had a line on that French Montana track where he says '' the media is not kind to me''
Also on LIG He say's I don't get the credit I deserve so I hate doing interviews''
This dude is the most disrespected hip-hop legend,top 5 general consensus rapper I've ever seen.
It's weird because it's just something about this dude that just rubs people the way,and
what makes this all funny is the dude just be chilling lol he doesn't have a unlikable personality.

I don't mind Vlad either but the Em dikkriding and this last interview are out of control. He's gotta be trolling for views

I've seen some of the most hardcore Nas fans make a respectable argument for IWW > Illmatic

At the absolute minimum you've gotta give Illmatic, IWW, Stillmatic and Lost Tapes as classics
This to me IWW is better

the low end. southside chi
Obviously its a generalization, but its based off observations, reading magazines and convos I've had with heads older than me.

If you follow the blogger Dart Adams on twitter he has talked about this before. Your opinion of Nas depends a lot on what your first Nas album was.If your first Nas album was Illmatic, then you probably think It Was Written was a step down and Nas fell off after that. If your first Nas album was It Was Written (or something later) and THEN you heard Illmatic...then you probably think Nas is amazing.

Illmatic didn't go platinum until the 2000s, but It Was Written was double platinum in 97, so a lot people became Nas fans after he was a already a mainstream star but a lot of his original fans think he fell off/sold out.

I started reading hip hop magazines in 1997/98 (mostly Vibe :wrist: cuz thats what my sister bought). And I always noticed that the older heads that wrote for the magazines ALWAYS had some negative shyt to say about Nas. Nas has maintained a STRONG core fanbase through his whole career which has always made him relevant. But other than a brief period after Ether (like 1 year tops), he didn't really start getting love again until like 2009....
I read an old review of it was written on rap review. Com they funding trashed that album. I was confused and thought I clicked the wrong link
