Stillmatic vs The Blueprint

[Brady-Carter]

Blueprint.

Stilmatic is so overrated. Always thought Godson was a better album then Stillmatic. Godson is so underrated..

 

[Ill-Mind]

The Blueprint

Some of yall need to put the pipe down...Ether, 2nd Childhood, One Mic, and Rewind alone body the whole Blueprint album...everyone of those songs is 5 mics by themselves.

The only thing Hov has over him on this is the album cover

I own both. Tie.

Nothing like a fresh argument
Blueprint/Stillmatic is basically do you prefer Nas or Jay Z as a mc.
They both timeless classics to me that define an era of hip hop and will forever be debated. I prefer nas so stillmatic

Only because I sat and listened to Blueprint in its entirety today. .. Hola Hovito ,Jigga that Nicca and H to The make it weaker lyrically overall than Stillmatic

The interesting thing about Blueprint is that Jay admits it's not his strongest lyrical album (bounce up like round ball, lol wut?).

In fact he went for a simple style on there, and some of it works great, and some of it doesn't.

If you listen to People Talkin' that came out the next year...that gave you a preview of the much improved flow and lyrics that he used on Blueprint 2, S. Carter mixtape, and The Black Album.

But Blueprint is still just so cohesive sonically that I still give it a slight edge to Stillmatic.

Hip-hop really benefited from both of those guys dropping classics so close, back-to-back like that.

Jay allegedly wrote the album in 2 days

I changed my vote from Stillmatic to The Blueprint. Both classic though

 

[UpAndComing]

I've always said this when people compare The Black Album to the Blueprint(Personally I feel like TBA has production on par with TBP and is a notch higher lyrically) Jay definitely slid off the brakes lyrically a bit here.

Overall though, I would give The Blueprint the edge over Stillmatic due to the production. Honestly one of the greatest examples of great picking ever

Even in spite of the ridiculous Nas standom that exists on this site, never in my worst nightmares did I imagine seeing Stillmatic beating Blueprint in a poll.


Blueprint is 10x better, a classic. Stillmatic isn't.
