FUCK NAS. BUT AS AN UNBIASED RAP FAN , IM TIRED OF PEOPLE DISSING THE NOSTRADAMUS ALBUM. THAT WAS A TIGHT ALBUM (MINUS THE WEED TEA SKIT). “SOME OF US HAVE ANGELS” IT A SUPER CLASSIC THAT RELATES TO THE CURRENT STATE OF GOD VS THE DEVIL IN HIP HOP. DEFINATELY AHEAD OF ITS TIME.

Nas has proven himself over and OVER again on those albums that he will be in rap hall of fame, if they ever had one O_o, but seriously! NAS “UNQUESTIONABLY” CHANGED THE RAP GAME WITH “ILLMATIC” AND “STILLMATIC” ALONE,…UNQUESTIONABLY!!! ……………………WHO MADE THIS LIST!!!!!!????? SHOW YOUR FACES!!!!! BRING FORTH YOUR FACES!!!!!!

But in all fairness, no Nas bias on this either, but…… He is ranked too Low! Even if Nastradamus was an D(or F) on the GPA (grade point average) scale, he Would Still get a MAGNA CUM LAUDE (3.900 gpa) in albums. This really makes me wonder who was judging. Nas is Top 5 all time (2pac, Biggie, Nas, Jay-z, Eminem, in any given order) and he is #17 on this list. HMMMMMMM….. It does not add up XXL

Jay’s Volume 2 and 3 should place him at this level wtf. fuck commercial numbers base it off the music quality.

Only 1 weak album (Nastradamus) out of the 5. He’s at least top 5, if not number 1.

I would say this must be based on record sales but then again Em is at 19. This is a very confusing list thus far however if I see Wayne and Ross and garbage like that above the names we have already seen I would state this mag has just pissed away its credibility.

i thought the eminem ranking was bad, but holy fuck, at least 3 classics out of his first 5, one solid album and then one subpar album causes god’s son to drop to 17th? Who’s #1? Jesus Christ?

Weezy is obviously the greatest rapper ever, so we’re giving him the number one slot. Although he was pretty street with his first two albums and tha carter II was an example of quintessential southern hip-hop, he really took the world by storm when he went mainstream with CIII. With such classics as Lollipop, She Will, and My Homies still , Lil Wayne capitalized on the wild success caused by rich white kids buying CIII and pretending they’re gangsters. He, along with everyone in YMCMB, has become the best rapper of all time. Nicki Minaj and Drake always beez in the trap too, especially since Nicki came from a middle class family on a Caribbean island and Drake was a prominent player on a little girl’s soap opera.

/sarcasm

fuck you xxl. Nas is a legend. Only Nastradamus was anything but spectacular. this is disrespect.
