TBH Nas' cataloge After Stillmatic>>>>>>>>>>>>Pre Stillmatic
- Thread starter How Sway?

Ehh... Hmm
I'll give you Stillmatic , Gods Son, and Life Is Good.
Streets Disciple could've been a classic should it been condensed to one album.
Couldn't bear through Hip Hop Is Dead.
And Untitled just feels alright to me with some heat scattered through the album. I'll listen to it again, I honestly haven't really listened to the entire album outside a few tracks since it was released so my opinion might change. The Mixtape was flames tho.

Yeah I agree. Before Stillmatic there's only
- llmatic (1994)
- It Was Written (1996)
- I Am... (1999)
- Nastradamus (1999)

This thread is more than truth.
Stillmatic, Life Is Good, God's Son, and Untitled are all damn near perfect "classic" material. Hip Hop Is Dead is tremendous, Distant Relatives is tremendous. Streets Disciple is good, could've been great if cut down to one disc... that's really his only misstep post 2000.
And if you consider The Lost Tapes post-Stillmatic (as it is technically) then that just adds to it. If you consider The Lost Tapes pre-Stillmatic since that's when those songs were created, then it makes it a tougher decision because you have Illmatic, It Was Written, and The Lost Tapes, plus I Am had some classic cuts and NAStradamus is really only weak compared to the rest of Nas's own catalogue, not weak compared to the rest of rap.
As much shyt as people try to give him, Nas has been a consistently great lyricist throughout his career. He's never actually fell off. I'm not sure who else I can think of in the rap world who has continually topped himself.

I would say Nas has been more consistent from stillmatic onwards, while pre stillmatic his highs were higher but the selection of what songs made albums was less consistent.
Overall I would say his only bad album was Nastradamus... But to me god son, streets disciple, and hip hop is dead were half snoozers.
Still overall Nas has been an elite lyricist for almost 20 years which I really can't say about any other popular rapper... 4 great albums, 3 good ones, one filler and one bad one is a hell of a career
