No. I think Nas after Illmatic is extremely mediocre. And Illmatic is my favorite album period.

then everything after was trash.

Stillmatic, God's Son, Street's Disciple, Untitled are all

It Was Written sucks. IMO that album is not a classic like a lot of you make it out to be.

It only took 4 replies.
no. you are the first NTer to ever say this. this argument is never brought up on here. and i couldn't counter the Jay stans in this thread (they will be here, trust) by simply pointing out that Jay's entire career outside of 2 albums is ehhh....
Is this sarcasm or are you being serious??
Im not in the music forum much so Idk if this topic has ever been brought up
To those who say It Was Written was wack-

He's either being very sarcastic or stupid. Although never stated the way you phrased it many Nters have expressed this view. Then again I maybe wrong since I don't see many Nters saying Stillmatic was meh, average, or trash which I assume you do.

JAY Z AFTER 'IT WAS WRITTEN' > NAS AFTER 'IT WAS WRITTEN'
Master Zik- I didnt really like Stillmatic outside of Ether, One Mic, YoureThe Man, 2nd Childhood and Rule. Thats like half the album so its eh to me.

RocNation What up?
Nas still nice, just gotta be in a certain mood to bump his music.
Stillmatic and Godson are great albums. Well Stillmatic is a personal classic and Godson...i feel the vibe he made/had with that album

Nas never quite made another Illmatic level album but he still grew and evolved since then. I Am... was solid, Stillmatic is one of the best albums ofall-time, God's Son was excellent, Streets Disciple was good, and Untitled was probably the best mainstream album of '08. It isn't all aboutlyrics, as time went on he experimented with different flows, different song concepts, expanded his message, even started dropping a little knowledge.
