I play Nas daily. My earliest recollections of rap music were from Illmatic.

faceless coward.The point was that your "jay doesn't get criticized as much as Nas. People act like he's above criticism" claim is laughable. You only see it like that beside you're biased for Nas.My nikka I could care less about all that shyt. I'm a Jay fan and got all of his albums even down to his unreleased shyt. Copped everything in real time too. But he has misses in his career that everyone seems to gloss over. I dont need to be in a full on Jay diss thread cause it's not that serious to me. But that ain't gonna stop me from voicing my opinion on the nikka music.
Nas referred to Street's disciple as his 8th lp on the actual project.Trackmasters produced "The Message" and "Affirmative Action"
Also Lost Tapes isn't an album it's a compilation
Nas' discography doesn't fare much better if we wanna keep it bloody![]()
That's true...but he could not too.Nas goes wrong when he leaves classic material on the cutting room floor. It speaks volumes when Lost Tapes is among the best of his albums. Its a collection of material that was left off of albums for whatever reason.
Nas could have classic songs with all those producers you named lying in some vault for all we know.
No he didnt. He went MORE commercial. But not TOO commercial. Most commercial songs on the album are "If I Ruled The World", and "Street Dreams". And the music videos to them were more commercial than the actual songs were. IWW was actually pretty dark sounding honestly. The Message was gritty, I Gave You Power was gritty, Watch Dem nikkas was gritty, Nas Is Coming was even kinda gritty, Take It In Blood was gritty, Affirmative Action, The Set Up, Suspect, Silent Murder, Live nikka Rap, even Black Girl Lost wasnt jiggy sounding.
Bottom line is nikkas was more mad at the production credits than actually getting to the music and listening. And they were mad at the visuals. shyt sounded more gritty tho Ready To Die which came out 2 years earlier and got nothing but praised.
Nas left songs off of I am because of bootlegging and left them off again of Nastradamus for the sake of having new material.Nas goes wrong when he leaves classic material on the cutting room floor.

Because Everybody's crazy is a Jay diss but is too weak and indirect to feel right on Stillmatic and redundant to Ether.There are outtakes from Stillmatic too and some newly recorded songs.
Simply put... Nas makes music you listen to one time and go "oh that was cool" ... But his music ain't something you gonna play over and over again. Get rich or die trying was an album you played over and over again cuz it's a good listen. Dope beats, dope rhymes, catchy hooks... This music shyt ain't that hard. I can't listen to no God's Son or Streets Disciple over and over.

I think No idea's original was deliberately left off with lost tapes in mind.
