There is not a single rapper who fell off harder than Nas in the history of hiphop (Sage Francis)

[Chip Skylark]

Ok

Don’t changed the fact Nas has never came close to his 1st 2 albums. I never heard a true Nas fan choose any album over Illmatic or IWW.

Nas albums after his first 2 have ranged from really good to good to ok

Stillmatic, Untitled, and Life Is Good are great. Untitled is damn near flawless

I'd take Lost Tapes over IWW personally

 

[Newportbox]

nikkas kill me with that shyt

it was written was lyrically sharper than illmatic

its just the beats were glossy and not made by the mt rushmore of nyc producers....and that made purists mad

Perfect summation
That said..... Nas projects post IWW (not counting Lost Tapes) have certainly not been up to par with his first 2. There is no disputing that objectively. They just haven't.

 

[UserNameless]

A lot of irreputable randoms starting to take shots at Nasir lately and feelin real comfortable doing it ...



Gettin kinda spooky low key ...

 

[TripleAgent]

I'd take Lost Tapes and Stillmatic over IWW personally

Who are these weirdos

 

[LiveFromLondon]

In terms of pure lyricism combined with quality of music, no rap album is better and no life after death isnt close

 

[DoomzdayzV]

I still remember when this geek ass loser dropped that Wordplay cut and all the backpack nikkas and whiteboys went crazy....one of the worst songs in the history of recorded music.

alot of people dont know or remember this but the day Raekwons man slapped the shyt out of Buddens, some wu nikkas also beat the fukk out of Sage Francis cause they caught him recording a convo with Meth and Joe

 

[Detroit Wave]

only to nas stans on the coli

lonzo ball already told yall what it is

That cac opinion holds no weight

I hope some QB dunns give him the hand of god.

 

[Pop123]

He didn't care to elaborate? When u just type that and that alone you either trolling or u on something. We need your reasoning kid.

the reason I say iww is sharper is bc of the storytelling/concept shyt isn't too heavy on illmatic

I gave you power
and
the set up

the visuals on those is just

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

purist rap conservative trash

that's what his whole shyt is. type of cacs that want a nikka to make illmatic over and over again.
