I've been on a Nas and Stevie Wonder binge lately and I don't see how people can argue against his discography. Sooner or later you'll see who the prophet is!

I really been listening to I Am, Nastradamus, and Distant Relatives.

Ny state of mind 2, hate me now, small world favor for a favor we will survive ghetto prisoners you won't see me tonight









This maybe the greatest run ever to end an album

I Am is a strong 4 🎤 Album

Nastradamus is a strong 4 mics too

Life we chose



Have people not heard last words



Distant Relatives is a classic album

I can talk about this all day but I'm gonna leave this here

Yeah, with I Am..., the first 7 songs are all fire (not counting the Intro. Wish he would've rapped over that beat). Then it kind of loses steam with "I Want To Talk To You" (lyrically dope, but the hook and the production bring it down). Then it picks back up with "Nas Is Like" (classic) and then falls back before ending with a classic in "Undying Love". I get why it got 4.5 mics initally. Nine songs that are all 4 and above. 3-4 songs that are 3-3.5/5. And 2-3 that are like 2.5-3/5.

Only thing subpar is the firm and qbs finest. They're 2 mic albums. I have Hip Hop Is dead, untitled, Distant Relatives, Magic, KD3, MAGIC 3 as strong 4 mic albums.

Gotta listen to the prophecy and the n tape mixtapes again. It's been years.

I’d argue for Untitled but not HHID i love HHID but its a solid 4 Mics. Its kind of in the I Am territory for me with some REALLY great songs and some ok songs but nothing outright wack.

Untitled is incredible to me. I’ll draw for Untitled over a LOT of albums.

LIG and Magic belong up there as well. Also. QB Finest ain’t a Nas album but it got classic Nas songs on there. Find Ya Wealth, Street Glory, Self Conscious, Real nikkas all fire. Nas joints.
