Anyone else think "God's Son" is Nas' most slept on album?

Question

When people talk about Nas, of course Illmatic will come up, and then probably It Was Written or Stillmatic, but IMO God's Son is his second best album. Why? Because its a personal album, he opens up on this LP like he did on no other. Its like you're actually getting to know him on this album. Of course he had the more mainstream-acclaimed hits in: I can, Get Down, Made You Look, Heaven....but there were also alot of hidden gems, ie: Book of Rhymes, Dance, Revolutionary Warfare, Warrior Song, Last Real N*gga Alive..along w/ Thugz Mansion. To this day, this album gets more replay value from me than any of his other CD's, to me it's just as much a classic as Stillmatic

am i alone on this? if you got another album by him you think is slept on name it and state why..all opinions welcome *except for section bashers on patrol

Answer 1

I'll just say this: I couldn't agree with you more. Like u said, everyone knows Illmatic and It Was Written, but God's Son was probably the first album where I really got a feel for Naz as a person---as in Nasir Jones the man, not the "political activist", not "the angry black man", but who he is outside of just the revolutionary. I think you are completely right.

Answer 2

God's Son is slept on a lot. Yeah I think it was just as better as a classic as Stillmatic too. It was personal too. Book of Rhymes is a sick song also Revolutionary Warfare is a beautiful song. After Illmatic I think either Lost Tapes or Stillmatic is 2nd best. Lost Tapes was also personal too though a little. God's Son is like Nas' 3rd or 4th best in my opinion. God's Son is like on of the top albums of the decade though.

Answer 3

actually Nastradamus was slept on also. ppl hated on that album too.

that was a good album too.

GodSon second best? no maybe 3rd.

too me "illmatic" first, i am and stillmatic tied 2nd. god son 3rd etc.

the firm album also.

cant really say which one was best. every nas album was great even Nastradamus.

i like your opinion also. hey at least were all Nas fans:-).

2 me I Am is more classic too me. personal reasons.at the time that album got me through alot of bs.

anyways no bashing here. nothing but love and respect.

Answer 4

Yep Gods Son is slept on a lot. I honestly listened to this cd every day in high school, so I think it is great. Yeah it is probably tied with Stillmatic in my opinion for 2nd best Nas album.

Answer 5

i admire God's Son because of the fact that is one in each of Nas's maximum own Albums thus far. He made this album after his mom died and he touches on many matters jointly with heaven and wishing he could desire to bounce along with his mom one final time. He additionally talks appropriate to the Jay-Z pork and how it have been given began and we additionally found out that Biggie grew to become into speaking approximately Nas on Kick interior the Door. Time magazine declared grew to become into "the perfect hip-hop album of the 300 and sixty 5 days and that i enjoyed the album no longer as much as Stillmatic yet in no way the fewer it grew to become into an surprising album and while it got here out it grew to become into between the greater appropriate albums of 2002-2003. so a great way as Nas albums pass i might fee it good interior the middle at extensive sort 5 because of the fact i think of Illmatic, Stillmatic, It grew to become into Written, and Untitled have been greater appropriate albums.

Answer 6

i actually liked nastradamus. thats actually a dissapointing classic. but still classic.
