Hov's 4 classics vs Nas 4 classics

[Digga38]

The Camel has finally reached 4 classic status with da gawd Nasir. Question whose bests are the best?

Reasonable Doubt
Blueprint
Black Album
MCHG

VS

Illmatic
IWW
Stillmatic
Lost Tapes

 

[BlackDroog]

If you swap Lost Tapes out for Life is Good and MCHG for American Gangster and the edge goes slightly to Nas because Illmatic is far superior to All 7 of the others. But that is a great run for each.

I also consider God's Son to be on par with all of these.

magna carta over american gangster tho nikka?

 

[Deetee]

Hov has 4 classics?

 

[Mandizi]

Jigga ain't even got 3 classics.

 

[Digga38]

Hov has 4 classics?

im just going by HOV interview with elliot...he says he has 4 classics

 

[Shogun]

I'd take God's Son, which didn't even make your list, over two of hov's "top 4"

Nasir

hmmm...AG a classic...its close i will give him that.

 

[atlbound]

neither have 4 classics.

Nas has maybe 1, and thats a hyped up lyrical fraud/New York classic called Illmatic

Hov has 12, (even though a few of them are garbage )

 

[Cuban Pete]

hmmm...AG a classic...its close i will give him that.

I mean your opinion is your opinion, I like MCHG for the beats but some of Hov's best rapping ever is on AG... dude was in prime form on that album save for Hello Brooklyn

 

[Depreciating Asset]

Maybe Hov's 4th classic is Watch The Throne??

 

[Digga38]

I feel Nas doesnt have the sonic masterpiece of a blueprint but Hov doesnt have anything touching IWW

 

[Harry B]

After this it gets a lot more interesting.

I got you. I was speculating as to which one Jay thinks is his 4th classic. He probably thinks it's Vol 2.
