Well Blunt Ashes is the worst song selected thus far, but he does have Nas Is Like on his list which saves it a bit.

It Aint Hard to Tell
The World is Yours
I Gave You Power
Nothing Lasts Forever
Nas is Like

i could have easily listed 3 more songs off of Illmatic but i wanted to diversify it

"Nothing Lasts Forever"

+1

Halftime
Nas Is Like
The Flyest
Last Real Bunny Alive
Nothing Lasts Forever

Kept it at one per album

Nothing Lasts Forever would make my Top 10, it's my favorite track from The Lost Tapes.

I'd say Slang has the second best list, next to mine of course.

Yours is pretty cool too Shaun, with the best songs from I Am, God's Son, and Lost Tapes on it.

That Blunt Ashes song is one of my fav on that album. So speak for yourself mofo...lol.

And Shaun The Flyest is a damn good pick.

DAMN....Kj is killing it right now...another one with a top 100 not a damn top 5..lol

hmm let me see..here is what comes to mind first for Nas RIGHT NOW for me

in no particular order:

New York State Of Mind
Nas Is Like
Ether
U Know My Style (I love the Jam Master Jay sample on that one)
Halftime (original Nasty Nas material)

but again I have no top 5 for Nas because Affirmative Action, I Gave You Power, Got Yourself A Gun, UBR, Where Are They Now?, The World Is Yours, Untitled, Live N*I*G*G*A* Rap, It Ain't Hard To Tell, Thief's Theme, Memory Lane, One Love, Represent, Your Da Man,
Get Down, Last Real N*I*G*G*A* Alive, Made You Look, Gotta Love It, Drunk By Myself, Poppa Was A Playa, Purple

like I said I'm not done naming shit and this is another legend without a top 5 of all-time for me.....NYC hip-hop, THE GOAT...now that much I am sure of.....

Not easy by any means but I'll go with


NY State Of Mind
The World Is Yours
Made You Look
Doo Rags
You're Da Man

LOL, I could go on for days about Nas too man, just as I could with Biggie and Face, and just like I could for the artist I'm gonna feature tommorrow.

But that's exactly what makes this topic fun, it's supposed to be hard. I like all those songs you named too and then some which is why Nas is my 2nd favorite rapper of all time. You really do need a Top 100 for Nas. I'm glad I created this topic though because it's revived a somewhat stagnant forum. I agree with everything you just said, playa.

Blunt Ashes isn't terrible, but it's nowhere near a Top 5 Nas song. To each their own though.
