ghostface is easily top 5

especially if you credit him for cuban linx, which he should if groups like tribe and outkast count as 1

also, no nas is laughable

First of all I'm not for mixing rap groups with solo mc's discography. That's not fair.
Second. Scarface Common and Masta ace should be on there

Nas has the best because of the level of rapping alone and he got both quality and quantity

I’m really not trying to shyt on your opinion but when was the last good Cube album that people even talked about with any sort of reverence? Lethal Injection? One of the Westside Connection albums?
If Kanye can be mentioned off his alleged 5 "classics" then garbage, so can Cube. His impact cannot be understated, he did for the West Coast what Rakim did for the East.

Not many artists have 3 albums anywhere near Me Against The World, All Eyez On Me, and Makaveli

I never said anything about that but for the record, Grammy aren't considered as part of the "critical acclaim" :yeshrug:
And since're talking about it, it’s worth mentioning only half of these nas albums (kd-magic series) are critically acclaimed. Critical acclaim is when an album receive a general score of at least 81/100
Kd2 and Kd3 are two of the more criticalally acclaimed rap albums of the last 10 years, Nas is dropping albums like that 30 years in yet people want to put him against rappers who haven’t dropped a good album in 20 years and say they’re better ? It doesn’t make sense you shouldn’t penalise someone for still dropping quality work, Nas has a better discography than everyone, Kanye last three albums have been trash for example yet he’s still ranked higher ?

Why because it plays to a hipster cac fan base that has nothing to do with the true essence of Hip Hop?

If Nas ain’t in your top 5 I don’t ant to see your list.
Ilmatic
IWW
Lost Tapes
Gods Son
Stillmatic
Life Is Good
Distant Relatives
KD
Magic
KD2
KD3

Tell me what other rapper can say they have 9 albums that are at least 7/10?

Honestly I can’t believe in 2025 Nas is still underrated, even an album like I Am has some of the best rap songs ever made!!!

And Stillmatic and Life is good have to be in there too. Nas catalogue is just too strong

nikka really in here saying Kanye first five albums is all classics
:what:

Also list needs Redman and Scarface. One of these fools really said Lupe
:heh:
I say 3 are ( CD, LR and MTDF) but all 5 aint really a stretch though.

And Lupe absolutely belongs there

I think saying he got 3 classics are a stretch but that’s just me. I never got the Lupe hype tho. I liked his first album but thought the second one was boring as hell so I never checked for him again
