Great choices with the rest, but who recorded Zombie? I've never heard of it
It's not even the best Rap album ever, let alone the best album ever. Tupac's 'All eyez on me' is the greatest rap album ever IMO.
Illmatic and all eyes on me are both fine records but Paid In Full would have to take the top spot for me. A revolutionary record if ever there was one.
Is there a better album than Nas's Illmatic?
Yes. It's called Wild Heart by Stevie Nicks
Bye!

Plenty of better albums, though its always down to personal choice
Dylan Blood On The Tracks and Love And Theft
Dexys: Searching For The Young Soul rebels
Pulp Different Class
Beatles Abbey Road
Could go on and on.

Not according to the original poster it's not.
Isn't this more a Nas thread with a more eye-catching introduction than a legit request to name everybody's favourites?
I thought Nas was a cocky little boxer from Sheffield?

Excatly. I wanted to talk about the greatness of Nas's Illmatic, but people actually took this seriously.
I apologise. It was never meant to be this way.
Nas is one of the best rappers - end of.
Hip Hop is Dead is a class album.
Can't Forget About You - what a tune!
Better albums wise, yeah there are, but that can't take away from Nas.
