Yes

Sometimes I wonder if this is actually nas' best album and not illmatic. "I gave you power" is in my top 5 of all-time, beyond classic, close thread....

yeah it is his best album and IMO it's the best mafioso album ever because it's the only mafioso hiphop album that balanced the mafioso content with consciousness.

genocidecutter

Yes

Nigga is you serious

FunkyJ

Yes

*Bane's voice* Of course!

infamous114

Yes

My favorite Nas album

FunkyJ

Yes

I'm glad history looked favorably on this album.

CJ

No

Voted no by mistake

criminology

Yes

undeniable classic. the only reason it was criticized was because the backpackers were comparing the content to Illmatic's. iww got better production, more classic songs and more replay value than Illmatic.

"Skies are misty, my life's predicted by a gypsy
I'll one day walk into shots drunk off champange from Sicily
This be the drama, I'ma pause like a comma
in a sentence, paragraph's indented
Bloodshot red eyes, high, yellow envelopes of lye
Openin cigars, let tobacco fly
Condos are tuneproof, we're looking out the sky's moonroof
Shittin like gin and prune juice
Yo the system wants the coon's noose, hang em high
Courtrooms filled up, it's off the hook while I
just wrote a statement, like I'm facing twenty years
in the basement - chilling on the via with Mumia"

Jamaica

Yes

word, i remember cats not liking this album when it came out. it wasn't until years later when they looked back and realized that this album was better than they gave it credit for.

FunkyJ

Yes

Take It in Blood: A top 5 Nas song for me

ohhhla

No

Never.

a_list

Yes

no doubt.......

freshb651

Yes

This album is classic from the socially conscious intro to the subliminals he threw at Big,Jay,and Pac.

"It's one life,one love,so there could only be one King" -that was for Big,King of NY

"Lex wit TV sets is the minimum" -for Jay-Z

"Fake thug no love you get the slug CB4 Gusto..."-Pac

Street Dreams(huge record),I gave you power(u already know),Black girl lost,Suspect....

only wack joints are Nas is coming and Shootouts

ohhhla

No

This album is no where near Life After Death. Revisionists, much?

aladdin1978

This is the toughest one yet...I can't vote on this one. You should have a neutral poll selection for albums like this stew.

YapatnaJB

Yes

Best Nas album to me

illedout

Yes

I gave U power..
