Plus I don't think Nastradamus is as bad as other people think. Honestly I'd take Nastradamus over Untitled and most of Street's Disciple.

I'll ignore the down syndrome addled OP, and focus on this. Yes Nastradamus and I Am are that bad, and this is coming form a Nasir stan. For an average rapper --- fine, but for a premier, top shelf rapper they were both poor efforts to say the least. Nas was in a horrible creative space at the time. He was trying to figure out a way to appeal to DMX, Jay Z, Ja Rule, DJ Clue market that was cornering hip hop, rather than being his own artist.

Let's just keep it 100:

ILLmatic > Drake 3 albums
It Was Written > Drake's 3 Albums
I am > Drake's 3 albums

After 3 albums NaS was like a Jedi Master. Drake is still a padawon learner.

What's funny about this thread is I think of "ILLmatic" and "Thank Me Later" and that is just the prime example why this generation will never be rated over the 90's.

Because I Am and Nastradamus were supposed to be one double disc album with the concept of Nas Escobar dying and being reborn on some street prophet shyt...........


but was split up due to bootlegging with Nastradamus getting most of the filler via hastily added tracks.


That would make Nas' supposed to be official fourth album Stillmatic.

:heh: I really don't think you want to compare the two.
