God's Son >>>>>> It Was Written (Vol. The Hitchcock Of Hip Hop, Since BIG Pop Departed)

[harlem on the rise]

The man has TOO many joints...

I *** with "Still Dreaming"...

I *** with HHID pretty tuff now, I wasn't too crazy about it before...

"Hold Down The Block" is a joint that often gets OVERlooked...

Along with "Hope" (both the acapella & OG version)...

IWW is vastly overrated.

AZ is the UNDERacheiver of UNDERacheivers... He makes Jadakiss career look successful...

Rides that SAME corny flow from like 95, and EVERY verse he spits sounds the EXACT same...  

But enuff bashing of rappers that don't matter...

IWW is OVERrated on NT... In real life its about where it should be, another album from the 90s that had some good songs on it...

God's Son is MUCH more thought provoking, the fire that was under NaS #++ when making Stillmatic & God's Son should've been the same intensity he used to record It Was Written with, but it wasn't... And what alot of you dweebs don't understand is how much hip hop changed between Illmatic & IWW...

Illmatic marks the end of of era of sorts, that started with Paid In Full in 87 ended with Illmatic in 94, that chapter was done... BIG/Ghost/Rae spearheaded a NEW sub genre of east coast hip hop that was short lived but produced some memorable albums from late 94 up until BIGs death in March of 97... NaS got stuck inbetween 2 different time periods, and that plays a lot into why IWW & Illmatic sound NOTHING alike from a music standpoint...

Its ill when MCs used to be on cruddy %@@#
Took home Ready To Die, listened studied %@@#
Now they on some money %@@#, successful out the blue

No.

God's Son is Nas 2nd worst album.  Nastradamus is his worst.

I am > God's Son

The Message & Take it in Blood > God's Son

Go song for song and God's Son is not touching It Was Written.

I am a huge Nas fan but to say doesn't have any below average albums is incorrect.  Clearly you must not have listened to Nastradamus!

SMH @ some of the commentary in this thread. IWW is not a classic. Very good album 4/5 but not a classic.

@ God's Son being the 2nd worst NaS album...

Go song for song...

God's Son is better... Its more personal, more thought provoking, a lot more interesting...

I take it you don't see too much of this gump DipsetGeneral...his remedial $%+ in here co-signing just to co-sign, that ***$% ain't heard more than 10 Nas songs in his petty life.

I don't know, I feel like Stillmatic isoverrated...
I used to say that this album was classic...only cause I was/am a Nas Stan and Icouldn'tlook at +%%@objectively...

Now I can...#@!$# not a classic to me...

Got Ur Self a Gun is weak sauce, Smokin is just a bunch of nonsense, Braveheart Party is horrible (Idon'tcare that they took it off...I bought the album on the day it came out so that's the version thats on my iPod and that's the version I'm rolling with), and My Country is ruined by that horrible hook and that bum asssMillenniumThug N...

Plus...I just don't feel like the album has anoveralldefiningsound to it...

While God Son does...

The album isveryemotionaland sad...maybe that's why some N's don't +%%# with it...

Personally, my favorite type of rap music is thereflective, honest, personal, and somber type...and this album does this like no other Nas album...

I don't remember if it was here or someone told me this, but it really iscomparableto MeAgainstthe World just by the mood alone...

I canhonestlylisten to every song on the album (With that being said i know there's +%%@ N's don't like: like him doing a song with Pac, or the Braveheart's rapping, or Hey Nas...but I +%%# with those songs *shrugs*)

Still with all that said...

It Was Written >>> God Son >>> Stillmatic...

My N's spit was just too crazy in 96...
