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)
Hov's 4 classics vs Nas 4 classics

The seperation between what's fake and what's real
Jay has arguably 1 classic, but 4?
Thats a quote directly from the Camel himself
Some would make the argument that Jay has zero since RD was not hailed as a classic upon release, BP1 is lacking in the lyrics department and TBA is overrated.
Illmatic is a classic beyond a reasonable doubt. Everything else in Nas' catalog is not.

listen im just saying MCHG classic already? .. nas dont have 4 classics either.. nas's albums vs hovs albums.. not just 4.. hov is way more consistent but if nas had better beat selection.. say if they switched beats on all those albums.. this wouldnt even be a discussion because nas is a way better lyricist.. even though hov was on his shyt on MCHG ..

I think it is as close to even as you can get. Illmatic IWW LIG are and God's Son are all classic status to me. While Jay has TBA BP RD and AG as his four classic records to me. With both having near classics with Stillmatic and MCHG. Overall all of their releases are considered dope except for Nastradamus BP2 and BP3. Though I lean towards Nas discography you can't go wrong with preferring either one's over the others.

I thought you were going to come with Hov's Top 5. Hahah. I love those songs but IMO they're far from his Top 5. I noticed this about Nas fans though. We all generally all have very different favorites.. Even among songs within the same album.

So just cause a rapper tells you his shyt is classic we gotta believe it? If that's the case, I don't know if we've ever heard a non-classic, brehs.
