I Am... vs. Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter

[wild100sboy]

I Am is the much better album. It's not even close imo

 

[AMcV'88]

if i had to have my to pick my 3 favorite songs out of both albums Nas has two out of 3 but i would probably go back to Vol.3 more.
that ice cold era of Jay as an mc is just..

 

[Farrinto]

Girls Best Friend > Hate Me Now

 

[Asicz]

Nas wins because his cover art is better and possibly the best rap cover art of all time.

 

[DarkmanX]

By far I Am..

Yall cant be serious.

 

[ADP]

the highs on I Am are better than the Vol. 3 ones
the lows on Vol. 3 are better than the WTF was Nas thinking moments on I Am

overall i went with Nas though

 

[CM_Burns]

Snoopy Track is a low key banger

Vol 3, Jay was in a zone

 

[ManBearPig]

I Am got 4 amazing songs but Vol.3 only got like 2 or 3 skippables

 

[ISO]

I Am... easily for me

At that time the song was played out.

At that time the song was played out.

Still went hard...still goes hard now.

I remember borrowing my friend's ruff ryders album and playing it on repeat.

It was nice to be able to play it again

This shouldn't even be a thread. I AM was a really weak follow-up to the greatness displayed on "It Was Written".

Vol 3. signified Jigga being CEMENTED in the game. There's Been A Murder, Dope Man, Hova Song (Intro) & Outro.....I'm not even going to mention Big Pimpin'....I remember when that shyt first hit the radio in like what, early 2000?

Meh the filler on vol 3 out weights the filler on I am...
