Yea, outside of Nasir and Nastradamus I got all of the KDs below the rest of his albums.

Even Street’s Disciple has too many gems to get voted over by any KD. There’s nothing on the KDs fucking with Thief’s Theme, Just a Moment, War.

This joint alone >>>

This thread reminded me that I was gonna make a bracket out of all the albums that were voted the worst from each “legend” to see which one was the worst. I forgot tho.

Interesting I feel like true Nas fans have appreciated Nas long before Hit Boy came into the picture. He was a goat before that but I'd still rank the last 4 albums somewhere in the middle.

I could argue that Hip-Hop Is Dead, The Firm, & I Am belong in the bottom 3 as well. But maybe I should go back and check I Am. I wasn't a big fan of Nas' albums from '99 though.
