How many tracks Nasir got like Halftime?

Some of y'all nikkas rankings is terrible. Stillmatic the best Nas album? shyt, it's a good album but I'd say his fourth or fifth best.
I think some of it's preferences cause I've heard quite a few people say Stillmatic is their favourite Nas album after Illmatic, and some even say it's their favourite. I can understand all perspectives, to me Distant Relatives would be up there too cause I thought that was incredible, and God's Son thought was great too. Those 4 I think are all classics to me. And he has some other very dope albums in between.

No way nikka. That's his most well rounded album. Production and structure. Least filler. It's his Blueprint

grab the first 2 whole albums if you're interested in rapping like that. sinful living, deja vu, street dreams remix, take it in blood pt 2, one on one, and his guest appearances like live at the bbq, back to the grill again, the og on the real, mo money mo murda mo homicide, an eye for an eye, fast life, how ya livin. lost tapes is essential too as far as song quality goes. amongst kings, and the stay chiseled solo version are must haves too.

The #1 Rated Mixtape of all Time
Thank you for actually helping and not being a dikk like the first guy.

Pass me the rock nikka
Most definitely not. It's his fourth best album. What are the filler tracks on Illmatic, It Was Written, Lost Tapes? Hell God's Son might be better too.

I could understand preference, but that's not objectivity. He said that's Nas best album as if it's fact, it's just his favorite Nas album really the vast majority of people I'm talking 95% will say Illmatic is his best. It's really not up for debate this is the album people are talking about 20 years later, this is the album whose rhymes are broken down in universities this is the album that's topped many lists as best of All-Time, IMO from a sonic beats to rhymes standpoint there's no way in hell Stillmatic is seeing Illmatic.

You can really appreciate the complexity of it on that Stretch & Bobbito Freestyle from 93.
is just bullshytting freestyling...then he starts with one of the verses from Memory Lane and 
. It's like watching a pinto magically transform into a Lamborghini.

sure. i won't sit here and lie like any of the rapping on his albums in the past however many years are even close to touching those first 2 albums. make sure you check out all those rare and guest appearances too. you could make a best of nas out of those.
Where Yall At comes to mind...Nas at his finest spittin that pure !
He was probably just speaking it's his best album to him, quite a few people seem to feel that way. Of course Illmatic is widely regarded as the best, but Stillmatic might get 2nd place in regards to the public's opinion. I could see people picking Stillmatic depending on what your looking for, shyt like What Goes Around was crazy and different from anything on Illmatic, I think Stillmatic got a lot of classic songs too, real classics, Ether eg lol.

Word to Christ a disciple of streets, trifle on beats,
I decipher prophecies on the mic then say peace
I always go
when he spits that part, flawless and effortless
