    Mind you, Untitled is ? and a great album so that's not it.
    If you ? with Untitled, then what do you mean by the bolded?.. and that's the best Rap album of 2008 imo..

    The song Hero was ? awful but that Album was fire.

    One song isn't alone to destroy a great album.

    Make the World Go Round stuck out like a sore thumb on Untitled, and Hero fit Untitled a lot better imo..

    And gotdamn, you ain't hear a Nas song you didn't like until 2008?.. you must have skipped Street's Disciple, lol..

    I love Street's Disciple.

    I used to think Nas had like 7 classics.

    SD included.

    Jay has been carried by features his entire career moreso than any other artist ever including Annie so please don't bring him into the argument.

    Damn, "War" is like a preview of Life Is Good.

    I've been wanting a full instrumental of that beat that comes on in the end with Olu Dara talking ever since I heard it.


    Yo if Nas and Common do an album together they each gotta get their pops to say something or play something on there.

    He's a legend in my book. One of the dopest and he's still dropping quality albums. To tell you the truth I never heard him spit a wack verse or even a wack line. His wackest albums is still doper than the best albums of some.

    Guess this is just me but for some reason some of his work has always been kinda boring to me. Like I can listen to certain cuts but when he starts to rap about that weedhead sh*t he loses me. Another thing is in interviews he sometimes comes off as a weedhead, but that has nothing to do with his status as an emcee or his skillset.

    Now that I think about it.. Nas once shunned the GOAT title in an interview a few years ago.. I'm gonna try and find it..

    I agree from a Hip Hop perspective Nas is the G.O.A.T.

    That's all that matters

    Rakim can't/doesn't make club bangers either. You know why? That's not his lane.

    Because Hip Hop isn't underground anymore.

    You 'heads' need to take that into consideration.
