Nas on his own had got 8 albums better than that shyt.
nas is the goat. but it's not because he's consistent. it's because when he's at his best, no one can hold a fukking candle to him.
with that in mind, he has
maybe two albums that are better. and if anyone wanted to debate one i wouldn't have a problem with it. MBDTF is that damn good, imo.
lyrically? kanye cant touch nas. we all know this.
but production wise? what nas album other than illmatic is sonically on-par with MBDTF, top to bottom? probably/possibly it was written. that's it.
every other album has at least 1-5

moments that make u think this nikka checks for beats with actual beets wedged in his ears.
