Just now getting into Nas... (Nas Discussion)

[Jaba]

Okay, so just now getting into nas. I am 16 and I have heard a few Nas songs here and there and Im like, eh guy is overrated. I have DL'd Illmatic (planning on buying soon) and this is dope as fuck! This guy is gnna be one of my favs rappers I can tell. Anyone have any suggestions on how I should listen tot his music? What albums I should? or should I just go in order?

Also, planning on buying the cd illmatic tomorrow. Should I get the original or the 20 year anniversary one? Probs only gonna buy one copy so which one should I get?

The 20th Anniversary packaging is really cool, really love digipak's for some reason. Also it has remixed tracks on the bonus disc and a song from the illmatic sessions which was previously unofficially released.

So should I get that or the original?

Go for the 20th if you got the extra cash

Distant Relatives. Nas collaboration album with Damien Marley. Its a must you listen to it... contemporary music, great hooks, awesome chemistry between the two and fresh content.

Buy the original, the remastered version is louder but it doesn't sound as special so to say. Plus, you want to have it with the original cover.

As for which albums to check out, go on with It Was Written, then Lost Tapes, Stillmatic, Hip-Hop Is Dead and Life Is Good. After that you can revisit God's Son and Untitled. Distant Relatives is dope too, Street's Disciple is meh, I Am has plenty of great songs on it, so it's definitely worth it, and Nastradamus, better don't.

If you think you like or will like Nas, those are all must listens at some point. Might as well go in order.

I think Jaba will enjoy Life Is Good the most.
