I'm a big Nas fan, but is there anyone else here who doesn't have Illmatic as his best album?

I don't have it as his best album. For me it currently alternates among Stillmatic, Lost Tapes, and It Was Written.

Imagine the artist Kanye would be today if some how he had signed with Nas instead of Jay-Z. He would have helped him deal with the death of his mother. Helped his creative move towards the revolutionary cultural lyrical style instead of the billionaire dream.

5 classic albums? Nas is GOAT. Then factor in his Unreleased catalogue.

and lets not forget Distant Relatives wuz Classic.

gots to agree with Lost Tapes at the top, my favorite album period, and its his unreleased catalog on top of collaborative verses and soundtrack/mixtape songs that put him far above the rest, you cant miss a verse that man spits because there were so many brilliant verses you might not know about, it didnt matter what album or who it was for he always has something to say and nobody does it better

Got smoked out last nite. Listened to " trust" and I gotta say it's the quintessential Nas song. Smoke n ride music. Anyone got a "queens story" over Marvin Gaye in mp3?

 

[And_So_It_Burns]

Hmmm I can't decide if lig is better than untitled yet......to me untitled is better than gods son right below or on par with iww of course this is my personal opinion. I really enjoyed Nas' social commentary. I thought the message in "yall my niggaz" and "black president" were tremendous

nas verse on black bond

I pull a string on a lamp and shit darkens

I’m living in an elegant Moroccan apartment

Proletarian chicks sparkin’

Convo weak, and I don’t really care for her jargon

Balcony is windy, looking at the stars and

I be on the Henny woozy in the head, wobblin’

Gucci pillow on the bed while she giving noggin’

Listening and tripping off the Maxwell album

Thinking I should leave to a European island

Bristol or Spain I’ll bring a book about Stalin

Then I’m serenaded with the violin

But shorty not qualified to be took to that kind of outing

Gotta be a fly bitch to hang around that fly shit

Fine dining, Olive Garden

Nah bitch, Nas is in the real deal food spots on the constant

Pick the right wine, a Chianti to wash it

Lifestyle encompasses top notch watches

Rolexes, synonymous shit I’m coppin

Ask her has she been around duffle bags

Full of that fuck you cash

Get off the jet with me in heels, I’ll cup your ass

Lookin in my eyes sayin “Nas, you one lucky bastard”

Grip your clutch, you get finger fucked in the passenger

Hit the Dutch, I blow smoke out, music and laughter

See us in the coupe flying past ya...

one of my top 3 on LIG...that beat, even though very smooth, matches nas voice perfectly...story is super vivid...

plus nas got that flow man...man his flow...

After almost twenty years in the game, nine albums and classic rap battles legendary Hip Hop icon Nas has scored his first ever Top 10 in the UK’s album charts with his critically acclaimed tenth solo album, Life Is Good.

Entering the chart at number 8, the album is one of only two new album releases to debut in the UK Top 10 this week (the other being Elton John‘s Good Morning To The Night). Nasir’s triumphant return marks the highest placement the QB rapper has received in the UK since the release of his 2008 opus, Untitled which debuted at number 23 (2012′s Distant Relatives, the collaborative LP with Damien Marly, entered the UK albums chart at number 30).
