IWW is my favorite Nas album but I have to disagree. Nas was the man when IWW and a lot of albums from already established mc's came out so RD was so overlooked by many at the time. I'm from BK and Clark Kent is a close family friend so we payed more attention to RD than most did. Up until that point, I personally never heard a rapper breakdown hustling lyrically like Jay did. As much as i love Take it In Blood, D'evils, Can I live, Dead Presidents and Regrets alone shifts it for me. For me, Jay shyt feels more conversational like he was giving you insight like I never heard before. That's how I see it. Most might disagree.
