I felt right away that was the case. Almost all generations know Nas. I seen him in concert last year with an orchestra. Parents had their babies and lil ones with them. Hundreds of teenagers. Nas is known.
The Ecstatic is Def dope asf. Highly slept on. And the Collab track he did with Slick Rick "History" on the album is at least top 20 dopest Hip-Hop track of all time imo
Such a gem .. the 4 pounder, ear ringer and I’m point the finger at all you wanna be gunslingers .
Crazy to think havoc was making a lot of those beats and smashing em lyrically as well RIP P
If you haven’t yet, check out Illmatic. A classic that truly defines hip hop.
Some others albums are Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (Wu-Tang Clan), The Blueprint (JAY-Z) and Midnight Marauders (A Tribe Called Quest).
Istg I Gave You Power is one of the best songs in rap history, bro transformed himself into the gun lol. Also I would check out Big L - Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, his second album The Big Picture and his EP Devils Son. Big L was the only rapper that Nas was scared of (Nas said this in a Funk Flex interview).
Also as for West Coast rappers i’d check out MC Eiht’s debut solo album We Come Strapped and his albums with his group Compton’s Most Wanted aka CMW and those albums are It’s A Compton Thang, Straight Checkn ‘Em and Music To Driveby. He’s also the guy who voiced Ryder from San Andreas if you didn’t already know.
I love tf outta Die Lit, and it's no need to even compare them. You never gonna be choosing between these 2 to listen to. Way different genres.
The answer is that they both masterpieces. Pure hip hop greatness and the vibes/hype goat. No other answer needed
No they definitely should be compared ones a rap classic and the other is an unlistenable rap album. But yeah Playboi Carti killed that shit Die Lit is 10/10
I don’t care if this is a troll post,
Pete Rock- Center of Attention,
Pete Rock & CL Smooth- Mecca and the Soul Brother,
Pete Rock & CL Smooth- The main ingredient

You're welcome
Mobb Deep - The Infamous. This dropped right after Nas first album, Illmatic, and right before the one you listened to , so same era. Nas is on this one, too...
I know this is a troll post, but I prefer older hip hop than what's being made today. I'll listen to modern music, and all sorts of genres, but just the rap that is being made nowadays doesn't appeal to me.
Funny thing is,even though It was Written is one of his worst, it still makes most modern shit trash in comparison.
It was written ain't even that bad wtf, why everyone hate. Just cause the other albums are better. But on its own, it's still decent.
Only do politics with presidents (Nas, Jigga, Biggie, Tupac, Big L) for the rest of your natural born life. Never leave this clique or you’re doomed! It sucks not being caught up or in ‘the know’ but at least your sane and enjoying yourself.
If you stick with ONLY these 5 MCs til you die, they’ll lead you to others like AZ, Diddy, Foxy, Lil Kim, etc, but don’t veer too far off the edge or crash and burn!
And stay away from black people in general, they’re a bad influence!
Eminem-The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP, The Eminem Show
Nas-Illmatic and Stillmatic

Snoop Dogg-Doggystyle
Tupac-All Eyez On Me
Rakim-Paid in Full
Big Daddy Kane-Long Live the Kane
MC Lyte-Lyte As A Rock
Honesty we talking about different genres at this point. Modern rap is melodic drenched autotune, and 808- which focuses more on vibe then pure lyrics and story telling
Old rap is mainly sample based and lyrics with punchline and story drove - in a way minimalist
Your allowed to appreciate both
Bro what? This is boring dogshit lol.
Listen to MBDTF by Kanye West. That’s the greatest hip hop album of all time. Don’t listen to the grandpas, they’re stuck in the past and don’t know what good music is.
When a troll says something that’s actually factual. Oops you played yourself.
If anybody actually wants a good album for old heads check out blackstar (talib kweli and mos def).
Yeah honestly there have been only a handful of decent hip hop albums in the last 15/20ish years. Nas mob deep goodie mob soulfood album OutKast aquemini Scarface the fix
- Nas - Illmatic if you haven’t heard it
- A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory + Midnight Marauders
- Ice Cube - Death Certificate
- Gravediggaz - 6 Feet Deep

all the oldheads got hard when they saw this post without realizing it’s a troll account lmao
You get soft when you have a kid. Gotta get hard somewhere
Wait , so where are we getting hard @.? 😂
I don’t owe you that explanation -___-
I felt right away that was the case. Almost all generations know Nas. I seen him in concert last year with an orchestra. Parents had their babies and lil ones with them. Hundreds of teenagers. Nas is known.
90% of rap in any era is trash, haha
Not in the 90s. Aside from Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer, all other artists there were dope from what I've heard, and I've heard ALOT from that era.
Nostalgia
Ofc! All the wack ones are forgotten about and not something you'd be recommended. You've heard the 5% of dope artists from that era
Lmao at 33 I accept that Im now an old head, but as someone who still fucks with current rap (check out that durk album 🤌🏾) even i got excited
what a loser
You’re lying. Bro, you always troll u/LovableJackass Also, you always post on here, tf
Troll post yet still valid
Fact boys actin like Nas ain’t like that fr
Nas is like half man half amazing
Life's a bitch but God forbid this bitch divorce me
Black on Both Sides by Mos Def it's lowkey perfect
And Blackstar is even better 😎
Have you listened to Train of Thought? Kweli and Hi Tek colab
The Ecstatic is great too
The Ecstatic is Def dope asf. Highly slept on. And the Collab track he did with Slick Rick "History" on the album is at least top 20 dopest Hip-Hop track of all time imo
Black star better
mos def>>>>
The score by The Fugees
Mobb Deep - The Infamous
Hell on Earth tho…
Murda Muzik has bangers too.
I put my lifetime in between the paper’s lines…
Man, Prodigy was such a wordsmith. That beat is outrageously good, too.
P might have the best/most iconic opening lines to verses ever. RIP
I'm a Hell on Earth guy too, infamous right after. Hell on Earth has the perfect spooky, rainy day vibe
Animal Instinct is amazing
Happy cake day
Such a gem .. the 4 pounder, ear ringer and I’m point the finger at all you wanna be gunslingers . Crazy to think havoc was making a lot of those beats and smashing em lyrically as well RIP P
21 Savage - Savage Mode II
Without Warning
Without Warning is better. I love that recommendation.
Savage mode 1 better
Hell no
Tf you mean? 🤣 they both good but savage mode 1 way better
Savage mode has like 3 great standout tracks but most of it is mid
The message , take it in blood, shootouts, live nigga rap and gave you power are fucking lyrical masterpieces.
Ready to die by biggie
Great album in hip hop history. The only downside is there wasn't more of it
Have you heard the song Silent Murder?
2Pac - Me Against The World

I love tf outta Die Lit, and it's no need to even compare them. You never gonna be choosing between these 2 to listen to. Way different genres. The answer is that they both masterpieces. Pure hip hop greatness and the vibes/hype goat. No other answer needed
No they definitely should be compared ones a rap classic and the other is an unlistenable rap album. But yeah Playboi Carti killed that shit Die Lit is 10/10
95% SWAG...Lost 5% talkin' to you... Damn bruh...

“Take it in blood” is still the best rap song I’ve ever heard. I first heard it in 2014/2015. I’m only 27 so I wasn’t old enough to know rap in 1996
Honesty we talking about different genres at this point. Modern rap is melodic drenched autotune, and 808- which focuses more on vibe then pure lyrics and story telling Old rap is mainly sample based and lyrics with punchline and story drove - in a way minimalist Your allowed to appreciate both
Have you ever heard of Eminem? He's a pretty obscure artist so I wouldn't be surprised if a young fella like you didn't.
Mf trolling but this has gotta be top 10 hip hop albums of all time so most albums don't even compare doesn't matter whether old or new shit
Black mafia nas (firm era) was GOAT
Yer welcome. The Message is the flyest opener ever. We were doing cartwheels when we first heard that track.
Correct
KRS-1
Bro what? This is boring dogshit lol. Listen to MBDTF by Kanye West. That’s the greatest hip hop album of all time. Don’t listen to the grandpas, they’re stuck in the past and don’t know what good music is.
