[Goldie]

Classic, outside of maybe Zone Out, u can't name a bad song on the album. Even the bonus tracks are classic

 

[Goldie]

[Joshie Kahn]

Mediocre

 

[Ironman]

I can't say classic but very solid

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Yup

 

[ChiGetTheMoney]

Yup

I love Nas, but not everything he drops is classic.

Lyrically he kills every track he spits on.
I always felt Nas had terrible beats on a lot of his work not just this album.

This was a solid contribution to hip hop tho.

@Goldie can you add solid to these as an option?

 

[Goldie]

I would but I think that takes the pressure off of people making the choice.

So a "kinda classic" type option might not be the best addition.

Unpopular opinion but Gods Son is my favorite Nas album after Illmatic

Stillmatic is not a classic. God's Son is.

Has is my favorite but nah...I can't call this a classic...

How much better would "The Cross" be if it wasn't for that trash ass Eminem beat..

It has some gems though...Revolutionary Warfare...Pussy Kills...Mastermind...but naw....not a classic...Hip Hop Is Dead is better imo

 

[GOAT]

There was nothing wrong with the beat on The Cross

The worst beat by far on the album was by Salam Remi on Zone Out

Shit The Cross is probably one of Em's best beats. Plus it fit the tone of the album

You can fall asleep to that Eminem beat...Nas made that track work...

 

[WilberDMillz]

Maybe I'm not remembering right but this album was just OK. I need to revisit it to make sure I aint tripping.

 

[WilberDMillz]

@Goldie , when making these classic or not threads you should include the albums tracklist in the OP imo.

This is true. He pretty much saved it.
