#1 Illmatic
I mean what was everyone expecting? Illmatic is the #1 rap album of all time. Illmatic was Nasâ first Studio Album and he achieved the greatest achievement of all time. Itâs the perfect album.

#2 It Was Written
Nasâ second studio album comes out swinging, continuing that feel that Illmatic gives, only 2 years later. Again one of the best albums oat, iconic, especially nasâ take on The Message - Grandmaster Flash
Fav Tracks:
The Message
Street Dreams

#3 I Am...
Another Solid release from Nas, his 3rd studio album had some more hard hitting songs, some of the best features too, DMXâs performance was meh, but scar was so good and the diddy assisted track is nasâ spin on âCarmina Buranaâ
Fav tracks:
Hate Me Now
Undying Love

#4 Nastradamus
Wow, the dark horse of Nasâ discography, typically noted as the worst, but iâm very indifferent about that. One of my favourite Nas tracks and favourites of all time features on here, âNew Worldâ sampling Africa by Toto

#5 Stillmatic
Another amazing release in Nasâ collection, probably one of my least listened to/relistened to projets from Nas, but it did include the best diss song Ether, maybe still better than Story Of Adidon - Pusha T
Fav Tracks:
Ether
One Mic

#6 The Lost Tapes
Probably my 2nd/3rd favourite project from Nas, includes Purple, not only my favourite Nas song of all time, but my favourite overall song of all time. An amazing project, no skips fosure.
Fav Tracks:
Doo Rags
Purple

#7 Godâs Son
Probably the most âMidâ project from Nas, itâs good but it leaves me feeling hungry for something, that something i cannot place my finger on. âI Canâ samples âFĂźr Eliseâ and it is an amazing version of the piano classic.
Fav songs:
I Can
Thugz Mansion

#8 Street Disciples
A very very strong album, it had a few lows, but very solid nonetheless. âBridging the Gapâ sampled âMannish Boyâ and my oh my it fit so well. there, most songs were good but not top tier from nas.

#9 Nas Untitled
Probably my least favourite Nas album, the stereotype of nas having a bad ear for beats shows here. some of nasâ best lyricism but the beats are pretty subpar. Probably the worst Chris Brown feature iâve heard too.

#10 Life Is Good
Honestly a fairly mid release from Nas, itâs inconsistent to say the least, some songs i loved, especially the intro track âNo Introductionâ the drums really set the mood. Some of the best features though
Fav Tracks:
No Introduction
Bye Baby
Cherry Wine

#11 NASIR
Some of my favourite Nas work, kanye assisted and executively produced. Some amazing songs on here, but this is Nas covering a range of topics. The âChildrenâs Storyâ sample from Slick Rick on Cops Shot The Kid is amazing

#12 The Lost Tapes 2
Just like movies, the sequels are always worse. The Lost Tape is one of my favourite Nasâ projects, the 2nd not so much. Still had some stand out tracks. âWar Against Loveâ was very heartfelt, my favourite tack of the project.

Overview:
Nas as a whole is my 2nd favourite artist of all time, just short of X, but without a doubt the best rapper of all time. The man made rap what it is today, he had the best run of albums in history. I am a little bias as he was the first rapper I heard but this my review
