Pressure made me change my mind.

Excellent song picks Shon! Your ratings are pretty accurate too, only you should have given Stillmatic 5 stars.

"Alright y'all we're taking it to the birth place of hip-hop today with one of the most highly influencial MCs of our time.."

Don't let KRS hear that....

KRS is one of them too goddamn it.

Yeah, I've been meaning to check that out. But I just don't listen to Nas that much to begin with. Honestly, I could use some brushing up on his other albums I already own. lol

The Lost Tapes is better than all of his album you already own. Except Illmatic

Well, when you put it that way...

Make the World Go Round was your fav cut on Untitled? WOW! I thought that was like the 2nd weakest song. I know it's all opinion, just saying.

And Yeah, get The Lost Tapes (which is his 3rd best album IMO) and Street Disciple (better than a lot here give it credit for).

Really? I usually don't like the pop-bopper cuts as much either. And I'm not a huge Game fan, but The Game TORE UP his verse on that cut....just smokin'. In fact, I checked out The Game's records based on this one cut alone....I know I know...spare the lecture...lol. But I loved this song and have listened to it a shit load. I also really like "Hero". In fact, I liked the commercial sounding cuts on the album a little more cause I liked the beats. And "Make the World Go Round" has quite the hook and beat. Dope album all in all though.

And yes, I gotta check out Lost Tapes. Gonna have to be a download for now cause I'm low on cash.

Yeah it's definitely a dope album. I agree with Game being tight on that song but I wasn't feelin CB's hook. I personally have Untitled as a classic. I originally gave it 4.5 stars but in hindsight none of the songs were particularily weak to me, just the production was. But as I spun this album, I began to appreciate it more and I can spin it honestly without skipping. I feel what you're saying though. Hero is definitely a banger. Probably my 3rd fav song behind Black President and Queens Get The Money.

Yeah, I dig Chris Brown on there...I don't know. It does not seem like a cut I'd love, but I do. I could definitely see the album higher than 4 stars like you're saying though. Shit is tight. In fact, it got me listening to Nas' other records even more. In that respect, it is an excellent album to me as well.
