The Combat Jack Show Thread

[Maximus Meridius]

Blueprint is my favorite album ever but Stillmatic is close. They trippin.




Ayo, the brother is "stillmatic"
I crawled up out of that grave, wiping the dirt, cleaning my shirt
They thought I'll make another "illmatic"
But it's always forward I'm moving
Never backwards stupid here's another classic
See-notes is falling from the sky
By now the credits roll starring nas executive poet, produced, directed by
The kid slash escobar

Let my words guide you, get inside you
From crip to piru, this is survival

 

[mastamind033]

Both their discographies are solid and dope, I think it could go either way depending on your preference.

 

[tay1]

Jay z has 4 undisputed classics. That alone tells you why his discography is better

 

[mastamind033]

4? Nah, people throw the word classic around too much

 

[osirus]

Illmatic
It was written
Stillmatic
Life is good
Lost tapes

Gods son
Distant relatives
I am
HHID
Untitled
Streets Disciple


Nasir
Nastradamus

Those top 5 I'll put against Jay top 5 no problem.

 

[Hahahaha]

Nas got five classics in my book

Jay got more commercial albums and singles

I prefer Nas disco



I give Jay four. RD, 1, 2 and Blueprint

 

[tay1]

4? Nah, people throw the word classic around too much

Reasonable doubt
Blueprint
Black Album

Are certified. Nobody is throwing around that word for those albums. The only debatable one is 444

 

[mastamind033]

The Black Album is dope but it ain’t no classic. Just got overhyped since he was “retiring.”

 

[Hahahaha]

Black Album is one of the most overrated rap albums of all time

 

[tay1]

it's still considered a classic

 

[tay1]

Parks always got a memory for Joe

Coming from the person who says Nas has five classics.

Nas doesn't think Nas has five classics.

 

[mastamind033]

Agreed, Nas is my favorite MC but he don’t got 5 classics. People gotta be able to separate albums they love with albums that are classics.

Black Album would be NaS' second best album

 

[Magic33]

I went back and revisited Volume 2 for it's 20 year anniversary and realized how much I liked and slept on that album over the past few years.

 

[Hahahaha]

Vol 2 a classic, Vol 3 is real good too.

 

[mastamind033]

Black Album would be NaS' second best album

Too early to be so drunk

[kingfoamnyc]

Too early to be so drunk

It's my birthday

 

[Magic33]

If you went to an HBCU, this is homecoming time. You started at 10am.

 

[mastamind033]

It's my birthday

All is forgiven

 

[tay1]

The Quavo disrespect

The condom talk is up there with the best moments

Saturday podcasts always delivering

 

[definition of dopeness]

They had me on my flight in tears this episode. I usually save Saturday joints for Monday’s, but the Saturday joints been funnier than the Wednesday ones.

“Put the crack inside the apple!”

They was trying to stall Joe out when he kept mentioning durex, not acknowledging him. Then he caught on, and was like wait...

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I think Nas and Jay both have 2 classics that damn everybody would agree on. Illmatic and I Was Written for Nas. Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint for Jay. After that it just depends on who you prefer.

To me Jay has more good - great albums than Nas. American Gangster is a personal classic for me. Black Album, Vol 2, 444 are great. Vol 1 and 3 are real good.


With Nas, Stillmatic and Lost Tapes are personal classics. I am and Life Is Good are great but then it's a drop.
