It has a lot of great hits for all rap fans to roll down the street with! Because of that, it's a solid pick.
It was cool. It was cool.

Daydream and The Instrumental are two of the best tracks I have ever heard.
This album is great because of both the beats and the lyrics.
In my opinion, one of the best rap albums of all time. Epic.

The Roots always do their thing. This is some quality music.

Nas is one of the greatest rappers of all time. This wasn't Illmatic, but it's still better than anything from Lupe or Busta.
The name of the album sums this list up. Nas is by far the best rapper on this list and deserves to be number one!
I think it should be top five. That's a good spot.

From a critical standpoint, it's not the best, but T.I. is my favorite rapper, and this is a dope album.
As far as other albums go, I'd say Hip Hop Is Dead, Food & Liquor, and Donuts are up there.


He is a lot more mature, but still blazing.

One of the greatest albums of all time.
One of the best.
