So first off, I am a big Nas fan too. I have every one of his albums. But something has been bothering me a lot recently and I wanted some opinions about it.
Nas has some classic material no doubt. But he also has a boatload of crap. I mean, Nastradamus was one of the worst cds I have ever bought in my life inretrospect, and he has a lot of really average-garbage albums (street disciple, god's son, untitled, etc). I realize that almost every great artist has putout some awful material at one point or another. Jay-Z has vol. 3 and kingdom come, Outkast has idlewild....you get the idea. You may not agree with thoseexamples but you know what I am talking about.
Anyways NT, so why does Nas seem to get a free pass when it comes to making horrible music? I cant figure it out. Sure he has some CLASSIC, best HH ever typematerial. But he also has a whole lot of trash. I feel like if any other rapper had such an inconsistent catalog, they would NEVER be regarded as one of thebest ever. But why does this not seem to apply to Nas? At this point in his career, I feel he has released as much crap music as brilliant music. Is it justme?
Thoughts NT?
