It seems like everybody but Nas, JayZ, and Kanye dropped an album this year...

If those 3 bless us with a album out of nowhere in December can we call 2015 the GOAT year in hip hop or is it already one of the GOAT years regardless? Or is this just cool but a bit overrated or overexposed? Please discuss.

    It takes time to make that determination we still need to see how these albums age.

    I thought Kanye wanted to drop his album out of nowhere?
    Still waiting on Lost Tapes 2 and an ok Jay Z album while camel riders buy more tidal accounts and call it a classic.

    -I thought Kanye was gonna drop this year but guess not. Fine with that though cuz he's dropped some ? singles this year.

    -After Jay's last two albums it wouldn't bother me if he never dropped another one again. Don't need another album of him talking about rich man struggles. He hasn't "struggled" since '98.

    -Wasn't expecting Nas to do anything. He's had a pattern of three-four year hiatus between albums. Lookin for it next year.

    Also NaS is on Mass Appeal records now, his own imprint, don't expect him to move major units his first week. LIG did 140k in the first week on a major. NaS might do significantly less, I think now he's in that "rockstar" status in Hip-Hop where a group like U2 and it don't matter what it sells the message resonates and moves whole movements. It's going to be a mighty interesting day when NaS next album drop and everybody starts talking about sales. Frankly IDGAF about his sales, long as the music is GOAT.

    The fact that you consistently capitalize the N and S deserves a co-sign

    Lol at calling a ? that's been rapping for damn near 20+ years lazy and done dropped more albums then damn near anybody lazy smh

    Lemme correct, subject matter, flow are lazy. He has his moments, wasn't feeling the last project brought to us by Samsung - the corporate commercial rapper [Funk Flex]

    I love the point of views of the hippity hip hop fans....guess it makes for good balance can't have a Jay type rapper without a Nas type rapper and vice versa

    Jesus ? tomp shut the ? up for once. Name 5 legends in any genre that made classic albums at 40.

    At 45 half of a legendary rock bands original lineup is nearly dead or in rehab. And they tour with a ? album when all the fans want to hear about is hits. At 45 Michael jackson was running never never land and was so out of touch with society he didn't even know how to shop with groceries. Did you want him to release an album. Hendrix, Biggie and Tupac never made it to 40 at all.

    The fact of the matter is old men never will have the material to run with these young studs but lets compare these young studs careers to Nas and Jay.

    Future: 31 years old and no platnum albums 0 headlining coast to coast arena tours. In his hottest year so far (2015) he had to do free concerts to get demand. By that same time Yeezy had already had 2 classics in College Dropout and Late registration which both sold as much as all of futures album sales combined.

    Fetty Flop: 24 years old. At that same age Nas had already written illmatic and it was written 2 of the best albums in hip hop of all time

    Drake: 29 years old. In that same time frame nas had pretty much solidified him as top 5 or at least top 10 DOA.

    Man this is why I say rap fans aint ? LOLOL SMMFH, Hov, NaS, Kanye gave yall album after albums the last 15 years. What right does the audience have to demand all of a sudden an album just b/c everybody else droppin ? They can drop an album tomorrow and yall will say "that's it ? It's aight" and move on. When them ? drop albums they make it a moment, sometimes you have to know when to withdraw and when to strike. NaS, Jay, Kanye not trying to give you the illusion that they need to compete with these younger artists. They gonna go when it's time. Dre dropped his album to coincide with the movie about his life, I like how no one even knew him and Kendrick were working on it till the week before. I'm sure the triumvirate have something on deck just waiting for the right time to strike tho. Music is in an interesting place.

    I don't see anyone in this thread demanding any albums. Most people seem to be saying they aren't looking forward to albums from Jay or Kanye.
