^ your a stupid piece of shit

Both of those albums suck ass. It's Nas' worst efforts EVER. And it was a complete dissapointment, it was the albums that certified Nas' decline into gay commercialism. So hop off bling-bling dick and listen to Illmatic. Nastradamus, classic? Fuck no. It's even funnier that you said Nastradamus is better, because it's not. But it had more pop singles so I guess you were bubbling with excitement when you listened to it.

In conclusion = they both suck, but I Am was very slightly better.

I have Nastradamus but its a mix and I never listen 2 it
tha only songs I listen 2 is Life's a bitch, it ain't hard 2 tell, street dreamz and the message which I added on der 2 make da cd more exciting I heard a few tracks from I AM and liked it but I wanted 2 hear Nastradamus
I think I AM is better even tho I haven't hard da whole cd

Im tired of reading yo shyt wogboy. You start listening to rap.. what 5 years ago? you think you know it all. Jyeh they were weak albums but it still had couple of good songs. Uh how old were ya when they came out? get the fuck over it.

All i see you do is give 50 n chingy shyt. Jyeh they got no bangin lyrics but they gots good club songs.. and that shyt we need. Foolios just got into the game buying 8+ year old albums and just start geting it. Don't get me wrong Nas is one of my fav and i got tapes full of good shyt you NEVER heard of. Maybe you will after couple of years then start braggin about it..


Now dont call anyone stupid piece of shyt cause his opinion is different from yours.

My Nas collection consists of Illmatic, then skips to Stillmatic and beyond......so it is like his little slump never existed.....

and for whoever made the "just because they have a mainstream hit doesn't mean it is garbage" comment.....

Have you heard Oochie Walley???????

1. I never said Nas was commercialized completely, I said I Am and Nastradamus were VERY commercialized. And you know this is true.

2. I never said all it's songs were wack. Most of them were though. Nas Is Like and a few others are an exception.

3. I said he's a stupid piece of shit cos he said Nastradamus is a classic. Anyone who claims to listen to real rap knows it is not.

4. I said those albums "suck ass". This means on a whole they are bad, not every single track.

5. There is a difference between Eminem and Nas. When Eminem comes out with a commercial album, he makes tracks for hardcore fans with lyrical content and meaning, as well as a few singles to sell. Nastradamus and I Am were complete sell-out bling-bling pop albums, on par with "Nellyville" and "Get Rich Or Die Tryin" in musical terms (not vocal). This means pretty much every song was a pop song - it was just a matter of which one would sell the best. On the Marshall Mathers LP for example, Criminal would never work as a single, it is a lyrical song. On "Get Rich Or Die Tryin" 90% of the songs could sell like crazy, because every song was made on the basis of "what will sell" rather than "what is the best". Nastradamus and I Am are by no means THAT BAD but they do fall into the same category.

6. I am NOT hating on Nas. He is my favourite rapper, and Illmatic is my favourite album. I also like Stillmatic, God's Son, and The Lost Tapes. It Was Written is above average.

7. Dez, I don't care if you talk bad about Eminem. He is average and boring these days, I couldn't care less. But he had great lyrics back in the day, but you seem to think that he's is forever gay because he is making money from a few pop singles each album. Your the one who brings him up most of the time with your "anti-Eminem" bullshit.
