Nas has probably the best voice ever for rap. Illmatic and it was written were all time great albums, i am and nastradamus had some great songs, lost tapes and stillmatic were ok, more recent shit is embarrassing trash. so 2 classic albums, 2 uneven albums, 2 ok albums

I never liked biggie when i was younger--always though bad boy was corny fag shit. still think Junior M.A.F.I.A. is pretty fucking gay. But he could rap his ass off, and he got some grat beats, esp. the dj premiere ones. still really only 2 good albums

honestly, this is gonna be unpopular, but when all is said and done kanye will go down as the greatest of all time. college dropout late registration are unquestionable classics (late registration is a top-5 all time album for me). i think graduation is also a classic. 808s is weird, but for a rapper's singing album its pretty fucking good. beautiful dark twisted fantasy is very good to me, borderline classic. Watch the throne also very very good. cruel summer was pretty good. yeezus was trash. life of pablo actually had lots of good songs, even if it didnt really go together as an album. all the other shit has like 1-2 good songs per album. but still--thats like 5 classic albums, and a couple other pretty good albums. no other rapper has done that
