A lot of niggas not gonna like my list but this is objectively what are NaS classic albums. I know it's the Reason and the rule #1 is "thou shall not speak Ill of NaS or the nation of Naslem but let's keep it 100. Out of his large discography he has arguably 5 bonafide classic albums. The other albums you can make a case for but in terms of impact and quality of music the 5 I listed best exemplify that.

And this don't mean his other albums were bad or anything, it's just these 5 albums had a tremendous impact on rap music during the years of their release.

What impact did DR and Life is Good have on hip hop? They are both dope albums but them shits ain't have no impact on hip hop.

Just asking...

Because if Illmatic isn't a classic then there are no classics in hip hop

One Illmatic and that is a classic for it's impact and influence on technical lyricism rather than a classic musically

Too limited can't do hooks, terrible beat selection, has zero melody, can't make bangers or songs u can dance to in the club

Lost tapes(well atleast a personal classic for me)

his disco is solid to me but these 4 albums are the only albums i legitimately see that can be called "classics"
