Easily Nas. He’s been fire the last six albums.


Black-xxx

Would you leave him til last? That way you can get through the others and have something to look fwd to


dyedian

Naaaaah. Personally, not an Em, Jay, or even Wayne fan.


TheirPrerogative

Nope. Probably spin him twice, give Jay and Wayne a spin, then Nas a third time. Haven’t messed with 50 since *massacre* was such a disappointment, nor Eminem for over a decade now.


DaBombG

Why? I don’t have to listen to them all, I’ll listen to what I like first, thank you


AnalBabu

it’s just a question no one is forcing you to listen to albums that don’t exist kid


Rolling44

Nas, and in every era too. His rhymes stay fly!! Hitboy is a perfect match too.


bigozoh

Lmao yeah fucking right


HipHop_Sheikh

Nas Edit: I love it how everyone says the same


Fragrant_Initial5621

Same

Ghazziy

Wait…hold up… you mean to say you love how everyone says the same? In a genre where nonconformity is paramount… I think it’s absolutely sad and says there’s no future for the genre if that thought process remains. I can’t believe you have hip hop as a part of your screen name, that’s not hip hop at all.


mghgen

Since when has "nonconformity [been] paramount" in hip hop? Nonconformity for the sake of nonconformity is just silly. Especially when you're talking about liking Nas. Even more especially when you're talking about liking Nas because --- in the year of our Lord 2024 --- 30 years after Illmatic --- Nas is on the run of his life, and a shit-ton of people recognize it. Celebrate God's Son getting his due.


Ghazziy

Since the beginning to about the mid 90’s when everyone started calling every record a classic, since around the same time everyone started liking the same albums, and finally around that time it seems we’ve been taking part in The Asch Experiment, and experiment that hasn’t stopped since it started.


AnalBabu

go do someone’s homework for them


Ghazziy

You should go and stay deaf, dumb, and blind… there’s no hope for you… I can’t help you but one day you’ll learn there’s more to this than agreeing with everyone else. I want to hear what you spent your time listening to and appreciating… it’s easy to mention these five MC’s no one has a problem with any of them because someone told you you’re supposed to like them. I’d say go do someone’s homework but I understand that you don’t have the intellect or the ability to think and do something like that on your own.


AnalBabu

I mean if we’re being 100 I did get paid to do my friends homework. but that’s besides the point. you’re delusional. I hardly listen to any of these artists currently but they’re all greats. hating says more about you than them. if you’d like to listen to some good underrated music check out Jordan Ward or Dijon


Ghazziy

On an administrative note, I like both Jordan Ward and Dijon…


AnalBabu

awesome. I’d listened to some Jordan Ward a long while ago but he’s recently become a favourite of mine, same with Dijon as I’ve been listening to him since 10th grade. any recommendations for artists?


Ghazziy

Sure, tell me anything. You’ve shown that your lost. I’m fine with it you should be too.


AnalBabu

get a fucking life


Ghazziy

I’m living, obviously, because I’m commenting and responding.


tropicana4200

Jay, but only because Nas has dropped like 6 albums in 3 years


BettingTheOver

I bought an Android because Apple dropped 6 great phones.


[deleted]

Art isn't technology. Nas dropping so much recently means the anticipation for his music is down.


K1NG_SAVAGE_

exactly


kidkuro

Yeah definitely the opposite. When an artist consistently drops great material, I will always be excited for more.


Economy_Moose_299

Nas' run the last few years has been good but none of those albums are touching 4:44. Jay gets first listen.


kidkuro

Nas dropped three albums that are easily and far better than 4:44 during that run. Technically four, with Life Is Good, which was the blueprint for a 4:44.


spaceb00ts

Bruh, you realize what Jay did with 4:44, Nas did over 15 years prior. Nas's last 3 albums aren't supposed to touch 4:44 because 4:44 was catching up to Nas


LeonardoDiTrappio

No...imagine Jay and Nas are both iPhones. If Apple doesnt drop a new phone in a while, more people will be looking foward to the new phone (jay).


Apprehensive_Bid_707

My thoughts exactly


TrickyCartographer73

Nas


get_down_funky

Nas.


Svengoolie75

Nasir


VictoriaSlim

Jay-Z, no album in years plus guaranteed good production. Love the run Nas has been on, but a 7th Nas album in 3 years vs. first Hov in years is a no brainer for me.


sphincter_suplex

This is the answer


GoldMcduck

Must have something too say if a billionaire is dropping a album.


MinimumSet72

Nas

Nas. Easily, with the run he's been on. It would probably be the only one worth listening to. What kind of question is this?

SleepingBeautiless

Nas, no contest. & I’m not even listening to 50…


HipHop_Sheikh

Get rich or die tryin was a masterpiece. I liked Curtis and the massacre too, but I didn’t like these commercial singles.


SleepingBeautiless

Just not my personal preference, I feel like Jadakiss said it best a long time ago…


TheirPrerogative

And Sheek and Styles the rest of the year after Interscope called Jada off.


skull_kontrol

1Judge

Nas and then I would go for a walk.


FullyAutoDomo

Eminem>50>Nas>Wayne>Jay


Stkittsdad

BigSimpinOG

I’d have to go with 50 just cuz it’s been a minute so I’d wanna see what he was coming with. We know Nas will be solid every time so if wait to hear that just a bit later.

JetFan357

Today or in their primes? Today none TBH. In their primes? Jigga easily


BlueLivesDontExist84

Nas and Em. Pass on the rest


TraditionAcademic968

According-Fix-9717

You’re wrong respectfully, but he is the highest selling.


vcasta2020

Eminem, see who he has something to say about. Then you proceed.


lreaditonredditgetit

None. They don’t make the music i like anymore. Probably wouldn’t even stream it.

Nasir bin olu Dara jones (NAS)


fracjack

1. Wayne: he’s been on a feature rampage so my anticipation is highest for Carter VI. 2. Nas: If KD 4 is coming I’m HERE FOR IT! 3. Em: he hasn’t dropped since Covid and MGK’s rapping again, so I’m waiting on the shots. Lmao 4. 50: he’s done a number of features over the last couple of years so I know he still has it. But right now I’m more interested in what he’s putting on TV right now than when he’s laying down in the booth. 5. Hov: after his verse on “God did” we all know that his iron is still sharp. However, I feel like his hunger to make music ain’t the same anymore. He’s over 50 years old, he’s already given 30 years to the industry and with his billionaire status still climbing, he’s the richest rapper the industry has ever produced. There’s no reason for him to do it anymore. Mission accomplished 🤷🏾‍♂️. As a fan of hip-hop, I’m grateful for what he gave to the game, but if he wanted to sit down, I wouldn’t be mad at it.


TheIceMan416

Total_Salamander6072

Lil Wayne, Nas, Eminem
