some of u nikkas suffer from mental illness. And it’s not crazy to prefer Lost Tapes over Illmatic. I know ALOT of people who will throw in Lost Tapes WAY faster than Illmatic.

I mean Purple is probably a top 5 Nas track for me and U Gotta Love It is also classic, but. I'd say It Was Written is the better argument here.
Also fukk Gnoz for refusing to acknowledge It Was Written on its anniversariesand continuing to do the same ol played out fukking illatic concert every year
I would imagine that album has a lot of baggage for all kinds of reasons.
It's one of my favorites but I can understand if that album may have some energy that's a little heavy and Nas seems to be really enjoying life right now.
Rightfully so.

we all have our own taste.

I was a way bigger fan of Nas when lost tapes dropped…I enjoyed it in real time, whereas illmatic was something I had to double back on and revisit afterwards …though It Ain’t Hard to Tell might be the first song I’d play if aliens landed in my backyard and told me “play the consummate hip hop song”
Lost Tapes isn’t better than Illmatic

For your first Nas album.
A accessible, listener friendly piece of music.
A starter album.
Not crazy at all. Really depends on how you grade
Illmatic is only 9 songs. Imo 1 weak song (relative to the others), Halftime
Lost Tapes is 12 songs with 2 weak songs (relative to others), Everybody’s Crazy and Drunk By Myself
So illmatic is the more flawless album, but there may be better, more potent songs on Lost tapes
Also your age and when/how you were exposed to both albums matter. I’m old af and even I was only 12 when Illmatic dropped. So most of my experience with it came after the fact. Whereas Lost Tapes dropped in my musical prime I was like 21. I was able to experience it in real time.
So for me Lost Tapes is the one. If you count it as an album it’s the greatest album of all time in my book
