Would it be fair to say The Blueprint is more important to Hip hop than Every Nas album of the 21st Century combined?

[Street Knowledge]

Like more sampled, quoted, referenced, copied etc.

If you got rid of one of these things

Jay Z’s The Blueprint

Or

Nas’s

Stillmatic
God’s Son
Street’s Disciple
Hip Hop Is Dead
Unintiled
Life Is Good
Nasir
King’s Disease
King’s Disease 2
Magic
King’s Disease 3
Magic 2
Magic 3


And they never happened, which would have a greater impact on rap music. Would losing the Blueprint be a bigger deal than losing every Nas album of the 21st century?

Is that why many hip hop fans think Stillmatic was better than BP? and let's be FR, production carried BP

Lyrically, it's not even a contest...Stillmatic is just way more substantive, bars stick to your ribs, better concepts, deeper, and just overall better

Since the sound of Blueprint was created by Just Blaze and Kanye...for Ghostface, after they listened to Supreme Clientele.

No (and even if that wasn't the case, no).

Yes, Blueprint had at least some importance and none of Nas albums had any importance, even though a few were good

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Yes

 

[blackestofpanthers]

Camel hump riders wake up thinking about Nas

 

[AnonymityX1000]

Yes, Blueprint had at least some importance and none of Nas albums had any importance, even though a few were good
