Outkast is a perfect example of artists evolving. Nas is a perfect example of an artist DEVOLVING. Every album since illmatic has been a step backward. And Stillmatic was close to a classic, like maybe 4.5/5

If you think every album has been a step backwards then you must think that Nastradamus is better than Stillmatic etc.

And then you contradict yourself by saying that Stillmatic is near classic.

Some people do care though...some people believe there is a bigger picture and purpose to all this..

Dude's is tryna discredit Nas now?

Untitled and Distant Relatives is some of the best music I've heard in a while....and it's clear what direction Nas is going in at this point in his career

If your not with us your the enemy.

Who cares about Illmatic in todays context? Illmatic is a timeless album. It's his Magnum Opus. Every artist has an album like that. +!#%#* think it's easy to make classic albums because music these days has become so disposable and so instant...people expect you to have classic records and to work with the same producers you made your first album with

.

You can't hold him to an album he made at 19 years old.

Guess I'm the only one grateful Nas follows what's true to him.

Realest in the game by far.
