No but its fantastic.

Get Down was crazy but the album aint classic

it's somewhere between great and classic

i love that album
it is a classic in my books

i had a job interview today and on the application one of the questions was "if you lost your entire music collection which 3 albums would you make sure you bought first?"

Illmatic was one of them.

what were the other two?

It's a great album. Nas has two classic albums (Illmatic and Stillmatic) and one album that desrves to be (It Was Written) but will probably never be seen that way.

what were the other two?

A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory
and Blu & Exile - Below The Heavens.

those were the first three that came to mind. they each have tracks that are pretty essential in my life right now. then when i was being interviewed i said that i had to add Wu's 36 Chambers. i would replace Blu & Exile for The Wu. but i love Blu & Exile.

you keep mentioning this blu and exile, i HAVE to check them out

it's because they were the last to blow my mind. still fresh.

damn...ive been sleeping on all their stuff

i think so.

9th Wonder's Remix Version of God Son > Original God Son

I liked Stillmatic a lot better than God Son, but God Son was a good album nonetheless

You want me to upload it for you?

I think it's on par with Stillmatic. If you consider Stillmatic a classic, God Son should be also.

These two albums were the perfect one-two combo to pick his career up after dropping two average albums, although i personally think I am... is a great album.

Its tough for me to say...I guess I would say no, but its very close.

illmatic - 5/5
it was written - 5/5
I Am - 4.5/5
Nastradamus - 5/5
The Lost Tapes - 4.5/5
Stillmatic - 5/5
Gods Son - 4.5/5
Streets Disciple - 4/5
Hip Hop Is Dead - 4.5/5
Untitled - 5/5

Thats 5 classics, in my opinion. Most people dont agree about Nastradamus. Many feel that I Am and The Lost Tapes are both classics.

My favourite Nas album. :beerchug: Definetly a classic IMO.

my second favorite nas album, i love it.... revolutionary warfare, them ****s with alicia keys, dance.... it goes on and on.

it's because they were the last to blow my mind. still fresh.

other than below the heavens, blu has been nothing but dissapointing..... that crac **** was terrible.

nastradamus and it was written were both subpar...imo.

the crac **** was terrible....but on 'Jonson&Johnson' he returned to top form.

i realized i haven't even answered the topic but just been biggin up Blu lol, no, it's near classic imo.

It Was Written is an ill album. Lots of great songs on it. Probably his best crossover success.

ace wasnt even supposed to be on the symphomy, shan passed on it... no one wanted to go first.

I would rate Illmatic, It was written and Stillmatic over it.

honestly if GodzHand says its a classic...it makes me wonder if it really is one. Although I often don't agree with GodzHand, I respect his opinions alot.

I don't think it was a classic but it was good. I think Stillmatic cud be a classic.

No it wasn't a classic. But I love that track Heaven. Real deep joint right there. Get Down is classic/vintage Nas story tellin.
