Rank Nas solo albums. You can rank Lost tapes if you like. If you want to rate them too, you can also rate the Firm and the Distant relatives albums if you like. But don't rank those 2 albums since they are not solo material.

    Stillmatic
    ? 's Son
    Life Is Good

    Illmatic and It Was Written = very close
    Stillmatic and ? 's Son = very close
    And then we have Life Is Good, nice album, but not comparable to the others.

    Yeah it's a severely lacking album....beats aren't great, energy isn't there, concepts are boring

    Overall it's not a good album

    Hip Hop is dead
    Nastradomus( low but I ? with it)
    Streets disciple(there's joints on here but this the only album I don't like)

    Distant relatives will probably go under gods son or maybe higher. And nas is only on like 5 songs on that firm album. I don't really count it. Plus it sucks

    Wow, you're the only one I ever heard say that. I think it has great energy. Love the theme of the album. A rich rapper living life who been divorce, and raising a daughter, but still has some ties to the streets looking at the cup as half full. Songs like Stay, Cherry wine, Bye Baby, Daughter, are some of the most creative and deeply introspective songs. Are you for real or you just trying to be controversial?

    Now ? dont get offended because I'm ranking my personal favorite in order and not whats Nas best album is cuz most of us hip hop heads knows that Illmatic is arguably top 3 if not best of all time album.

    1.? 's Son
    2. Stillmatic
    3. IWW
    4. Illmatic
    5. LIG

    6. IAM
    7. Streets Disciple
    8. HHID
    9. Untitled
    10.Nastradamus

    If Nastradamus is your worst album when you put out double digit studio albums in your career?? Then you arquably have the best discography in Hip Hop and if not worse case scenario top 3 ever. Seriously can anyone name 3 rappers with a better discography??

    Ghostface is close but he only has 9 solo albums. And Common discography is pretty tight. Killah Priest discography is dope too. Maybe Mc Eiht and Buckshot if you add the Cmw and Blackmoon albums. But I think Nas got the best overall catalog. Especially if you add in Lost Tapes. Common is very close though.
