Battle of the 10th Album....

vs



The Kings of NY and Rap music(yea I said it) have both reached the 10 album mark. Whats the biggest difference between the 2 careers? Do you think they've been subliminally battling each other this whole time? Obviously not Nas at first. At this point in their careers, I see such a huge difference between the too with their respectable 10th albums being released. Speak on it.

Life is Good hands down. Blueprint 3 was garbage

I like BP3 but Life is Good is far superior in every way

um.....this was jay's 10th album

Thought AG was jays tenth

I think one of the biggest differences in the two careers is Jay-Z's ability to appeal to the masses. That is not to say that he is better than Nas for it (Nas murked him in Ether), but sometimes as listeners I think we overlook the importance of numbers. Jay-Z was able to market himself outside of the hip-hop arena (even before Beyonce), produce 11 #1 albums and still make decent music and you can't knock that. Congrats to Nas tho for also getting 10 albums in, not to many artists make it that far.

or an album with a ton of features, so basically the blueprint for ross' last 4 albums

Jamaica

Plus AG vs LIG is a better comparison than bp3.

its....JOHN B

either way Nas hands down

Blueprint 3 was subpar.
American Gangster was good, but only a couple of songs are still in my rotation.

TrueGodHS

Nas's album is better than BP3.... and it's better than American Gangster just by a little. I think the growth and personal aspect of Life Is Good beats most of Jay's albums.

jono

I love American Gangster, BP 3 was meh. I loved BP3 at first but it had no staying power with me.

On topic:
Life is Good is superior to both projects so it doesn't really matter.

ROZAYTABERNACLE

I still think it's too early to debate this. it's only been out 5 days. if people still consider it as good in months, years, etc. then that'll be when you can accurately compare it to other albums.

bp3 too wack to compare to anything

chiyosuke

Confession... I still have yet to finish LIG, so I'm not really gonna compare shyt but AG was my shyt!! Oh and don't get me started on BP3... half of that album sucked. *que Hopsin*

horrorcore?

Life Is Good is better than both imo. AG is a good album, but we all know the production was what made that album as good as it was and not so much jays lyrics. On da other hand, like always it was Nas´lyrics that made Life Is Good as great as it is.

And I consider Dynasty as a solo, cuz if dats da case, alot of Wu ¨solo¨ albums are compilations. Da cover of Ironman says Ghostface ft. Rae and Cap.

Tommy bilfiger

American Gangsta>>>>>Life Is Good

Fallin,Roc Boys,Say hello>>>>>>Any of that bullshit on nas new album

Itsallright

So LIG is better than AG?? Really??
Nas stans...

n.mcfly

I can't call it jay did him on AG.
I can play both albums straight through. This is a hell of a question. Like ready to die or the purple tape.
