Overrated how? He's a legitimate G.O.A.T. candidate, one of the most influential MC's, one of the most respected MC's by rappers of all generations, one of the most skilled, one of the best catalogs based on influential records, Platinum plaques and critical acclaim and respect from hip hop fans, one of the best unreleased catalogs, great longevity.

Illmatic is a G.O.A.T. contender whether you agree or not, hip hop has spoken over 20 years. I see the fukking aliases in here already. :scusthov:

he's the rapper to be compared to. He makes a statement on a song and for the next few years people still talk about it (referring to the Hip Hop Is Dead phase). He should be rated highly because he is a great lyricist, his subject matter is diverse and well thought out, and most importantly he has had a major impact on just about every MC that has been introduced to the game since he emerged. His high rating can also be attributed to the fact that he raised the bar that Rakim, Kane, Kool Moe Dee, and KRS set. He is usually one of your favorite rapper's favorite rapper. You can't deny the effects that he has caused in the game.

Every song on Illmatic is perfect to me so I can't agree with the first part

But Nas is overrated on here I believe, not in the real world. His catalog took a major nosedive, to me, after 2001.
When gods son and lost tapes came out :heh: those bangers weren't on the level of classics like I am and Nastradumbass?

I Am is dope as fukk to me, Nastradamous is wack but one bad album pre 2001 isn't too bad. He already had 3 straight great albums prior to that.

Illmatic: 5/5
It Was Written: 4.5/5
I Am: 4/5
Nastradmous: 2/5
Stillmatic: 4/5
Lost Tapes: 4/5
God Son: 2.5/5
Street Disciple: 2/5
Hip Hop is Dead: 2/5
Untitled: 3/5
Life is Good: 2.5/5
