Nas is the undisputed GOAT right now, his albums have held up the best over time some have gotten better with time like Hip Hop Is Dead, the Production is CRISP and holds up till this day unlike many of Jay-Z albums
I mean the Kanye era Rocafella tracks did not age well, especially compared to the Just Blaze tracks, which all held up and sound crisp and new, while all of Kanye's rocafella tracks sound faded and old, drums sound terrible, everything sounds muffled on his beats, which were carried bout the soul samples.
Illmatic Production of course still holds up this day, classic pure hip hop sound, the energy is the magical feeling while Hip Hop will never die
It was Written, Nas sell out tracks like I Rule the World still bang and sound rawer than anything today and those were his commerical tracks people called him a sell out for
I am, The shyt still bangs, Favor for a Favor, non sample beat still sounds fresh and the clarity is top notch, Nas is like is one of primo's best, Hate Me now is a classic of course, but we all know this three albums nobody as a problem with along with Stillmatic, lets get into his lesser received albums
Nastradamus, this album was pretty watched called wack and people thought Nas was finished, one of the biggest complaints were he production, but many tracks hold up
Not only are these beats good musically sound beats, the Sound Clinic and Mix are top notch, and still hold up till this day, you can turn them all the way up on any system and they sound prestine
when you listen to Blueprint 2, the production is lackluster by today's standards, shyt don't knock at all
Volume 3 and Volume 2, suffer the same thing, besides nikka What which is one of Timbo's best beats
Black Album which was my favorite Jay album, hasn't aged well, I mean the Just Blaze Tracks are still fire, and Encore still holds up, but Lucifer sounds like shyt, that Eminem beat was always wack, the Dirt of Shoulder sounds corny and the beat doesn't knock it all
The Quik Justify my Thug has a sick baseline, but Jay doesn't rock that beat all, and the hook is fukking terrible
nothing stands out on that album except for the Just Blaze Tracks, which are crisp and bang with clarity
Hip Hop is Dead was called a wack album for beats, but the beats are that album are fukking crazy
From musical stand point this is a beautiful, from an audio specific it's perfection crisp, everything is balanced and loud without being muffled
this goes to show most people don't know what they are talking about and aren't fans of music but the storylines and clout
