First of all, what's your opinion on Illmatic and Stillmatic?

Second of all, if you've only listened to 2 of his albums, who are you to judge if someone is better than him?

Here listen to these songsm and if you like them go further into the album and see what it's about for yourself...

It Was Written - The Message, I Gave You Power, If I Ruled the World
I Am... - N.Y. State of Mind Pt.2, Nas is Like, We Will Survive
Nastradamus - Life We Choose, Project Windows, Last Words
The Lost Tapes - Purple, Doo Rags, No Idea's Original
God's Son - Made You Look, Get Down, Revolutionary Warfare
Street's Disciple - Thief's Theme, Just a Moment, You Know My Style
Hip Hop is Dead - Can't Forget About You, Hold Down the Block, Carry on Tradition
Untitled - Hero, Project Roach, Y'all my _____

illmatic classic cd but to me not the best (eminem show, mmlp, and grodt are better tome but top 5 album easily) stillmatic very very good i'll say its a classic. I never said i didnt listen to the man. i'll just cross out the songs i liked on your list... and if only 3 or 4 songs off an album are good that isnt a quality album. but i'll listen to those songs mentioned again...

So the Eminem Show, MMlp, and GRoDT are in your top 5?

After Illmatic, I'm dying to know what the other album in your top 5 is.




And I don't see how someone doesn't like Made You Look and If I Ruled the World.
Mainstream songs with a good sound, can't go wrong there.

and if only 3 or 4 songs off an album are good that isnt a quality album.
duh.
I only listed 3 songs off of each album for a reason.

But if we're talking, who makes better rap music, from song making ability, creativity, content, albums, etc. Nas is better and its not that close.

EMINEM

-More talented as an overall "musical artist"
-better delivery, more creative flow patterns
-better stage presence / live show (more entertaining overall)
-top 5 freestyle rapper
-produces and arranges his own material



I never thought I'd say this, but Nas wins. His catalog crushes Em's and it has a greater chance of standing the test of time.

I'd rather "watch" Eminem, but I'd rather "listen" to Nas.
