Plus I like the 5 year gap since his last album, Nas is gonna drop a monster of an album, if Nastradamus was released this year it would be a top contender for album of the year.
I beg to differ, but since that's your opinion I'm going to respect it. Honestly to me, Nas has about four (disputable) classic albums out of his whole entire catalogue; excluding unreleased/collaborations.
Over 23 years as well. How many rappers from the early/mid-90's are still poppin like that? Obviously you got someone like Jay but a lot that are still active don't even get the attention Nas does
His first album dropped in '96. I know he was rapping before that but I can't recall anything other than the Hawaiian Sophie feature.
For all intents and purposes he's a 90's artist, if we were talkin about someone like Dr Dre you would have an argument cause he was in a group in the 80's, but Jay wasn't.
People forget that Jay Z wasn't a household name untill It's a Hard Knock Life. Thats after Puff and Ma$e run at the top and had to share the spot light for a few years with Ja Rule and DMX.
