This is basically hip hop sacrilege...plus it's also wrong.

nah Ilmatic was clearly ahead of Reasonable Doubt....

But American Gangster and Untitled are about the same too me.
American gangster because of the way it was sequenced, the witty / cleaver lines and shadowing of the movie were piff.

But untitled is still an untouchable classic in a league of its own, due to timing of the election with Obama. And depth of Nas's lyrics.

There's no song AG that's touching the depthness...."No Hook" comes close but doesn't hold a candle to this song,,,

They gave us lemons, we made lemonade
But this nikkas payed, ancestry of slaves
Descendant of kings, it's necessary I - bling
Put rims on everything, where tims on every scene
:wow:

:wow:

RD is a classic and a top 10 album of all time though. IWW being better than Illmatic is more absurd.

Every song on Illmatic is a classic. RD has Ain't No nikka, which is a meh track.

:wow:

Untitled has mundane production. It is the worst of Nas putting a topic before making good music. Half those songs entice insomnia. I like HHID better...yeah I said it.
