there is no disputing it. He just has way too many sick songs.

- Purple
- Memory Lane
- Take it in Blood
- The Message
- I Gave you Power
- Life's a Bitch
- Doo Rags
- N.Y. State of Mind
- N.Y. State of Mind part II

Most of these songs were made in the 90's and they get overlooked.
That is like 1/8th of his songs worthy to be put on this list

just how I feel, you most likely have different tastes in music

Nas is fucking sick. I also think ether is fucking dope. Nothing spells out his beef with jay-z like that song.

Affirmative action by the firm ft. Nas is also one of my favorites, minus foxy brown's verse slash horrible math.

illmatic is by far his best album. He slays every song and its pretty much the shit.. My favs have to be NY State of Mind, Half Time, One time for your mind, It ain't hard to tell, surviving the times, the message.

The only word you can use to describe Illmatic is perfect. That album will never get old no matter how many times I listen to it.

Illmatic is one of the best hip hop albums ever created. it was the pinnacle of 90's NYC hip hop.

I think there are better MCs out there but Nas is definitely the best well known rapper.

WORD nas is so sick, one of the few OG lyricists still in the game.
I would say nas is top 5, along with Immortal tech, Canibus, KRS and Big L

Illmatic is one of the only rap albums that I have heard that I can listen to every song and never get bored or have to urge to change it.

- They forced my hand
- Testament
- Therapy
- Dead man walking
- Verbal graffiti
- Fallen Soldiers
- Montana Diary
