IWW is a classic if RD is... all im saying. IWW is arguably better than RD

[MR. Conclusion]

Nas has

Illmatic
IWW
Stillmatic
Untitled


Jay has

Maybachs
Beyonce

Ok ok I'm just fukkin with ya. He really has

Blueprint
Reasonable Doubt
American Gangster

Nas wins

This is probably the most accurate. I was listening to Vol 2. the other day and I forgot how dope that was. Wouldn't be mad if somebody put that up there as well. LIG is good, but Untitled was more powerful in terms of subject matter, beats, basically everything.

Hold up nikkas.......... Jigger has 4 clasics?

Vol.2 is actually my fave Hov album. I have sentimental reasons for that feeling too but I still think it stands musically as my fave.

I definitely think Hov thinks his 4 classics are RD, BP, TBA, and Vol. 2. Vol. 2 was his biggest album and in retrospect listening back to it, the album was Jay in rare form and had bangers throughout. If people call Get Rich or Die Tryin a classic than Vol. 2 is one as well. American Gangster is right there too though as far as classic status.

With Nas, Illmatic and IWW are undeniable classics in my view, Stillmatic is borderline, and I know Lost Tapes isn't a proper Nas album, but it may be my overall favorite collection of Nas songs so I have to call that a classic as well. We'll have to wait and see how LIG holds up, but I think it'll wind up near classic status like AG.

 

[Lyrically_N_Gaged]

Hov only has 2 classics.

And even those 2 have a few wack tracks

IWW is NOT A fukkIN CLASSIC!!!

nikkas always take this "Nas is GOAT" shyt too far. Nas does not lead hip hop in EVERY category, it's ok.

I totally forgot about vol 2. That had If I should die, the bleek intro. Might have to add that

 

[Urbanmiracle]

Lost tapes doesn't count as an "album" just a collection of unreleased material. Which is why it never got any mic rating in the source and never counted among Nas many classics.




That said that is the best CD with Nas name on it not named illmatic.
