Blueprint vs. Stillmatic

[James R.]

Yeah and I get what you're saying. They're both great albums. Lyrically Stillmatic probably is the better album, I just think Blueprint has better music. But chea it's all opinion. And I like the way you put that. Rose like a phoenix.

Thanks

I gave Stillmatic another listen...

IT STILL LOSES TO BLUPRINT.

Yeah, it has hot tracks. (2nd Childhood, One Mic, Rewind, Got Ur Self A..., Ether, Every Ghetto) and arguably some other... but I don't find it consistent enough. But lyrically it's great. Not Illmatic-great (just look at Illmatic and Reasonable Doubt rhyming) but it's good for rappers in the 21st century.

Blueprint ain't got the lyricism of Stillmatic nor the precision of Nas's rhymes... It doesn't even got the famous producers of the East Coast: DJ Premier, Large Professor, L.E.S. But it got consitency and it's VERY enjoyable to listen to. The production from Kanye and Blaze is impeccable.

Stillmatic < Blueprint. But it's a close one...

If you ask me though, I like the name Stillmatic a lot. But if the album was crap, I would think the name Stillmatic is crap.

As Nas said, "Just look stupid, KRS already made an album called Blueprint"

^You got a bit mixed up I think

Right now I'm listening to The Blueprint, I'm on the track Never Change. Damn that song is just too good. The Blueprint is way too enjoyable, every track is at least listenable but to me they're all great. This album never gets old at all and that's why I love it.

I love Stillmatic but it tires me a bit more although 2nd Childhood is

Can we all agree these two need to make a album together?

I would cry tears of joy

I would shit feces of surprise.

I would literally piss myself. The only collabs I'd like to see as much are Jay & Em and Em & Nas

I like Black Republican Nas ft. Jay-Z.

that beat is straight FIRE

By the way, anyone have the link to the live Summer Jam 2001 performance where Jay-Z performs Takeover the unfinished version live? He says "Nas don't want it with hov." at the end, but it's not the full song until Blueprint drops. Have the link, anyone?

Ain't that shit true. Damn. A joint album would make all fans suffer strokes. As long as Eminem is on some Renegades shit, and NOT some We Made You, 3 am shit.

Yeah, I'd like to see that as well.
