The Very Best of NaS

Today it’s time to pay tribute to a man who many regard as the best rapper of all time. Although he’s not my number 1; I can appreciate anyone who has him at the top, because his discography is second to none and his impact on Hip-Hop has been simply incredible. Throughout his 16 year career the message has always been a positive one and he has genuinely tried to make a difference through the power of music, which is something not enough rappers seem to do these days. He has released some very average albums (Untitled, Nastradamus & I Am…) along the way; however albums such as It Was Written, God’s Son and Illmatic are true Hip-Hop classics and albums that changed the face of the genre. Along with Jay, this was probably the most difficult to keep to 30 tracks purely because of the amount of quality music they’ve both released. If you’ve never really got into NaS or understood what all the fuss is about, then I urge you to listen to this. Tracklist and download link after the jump.

Tomorrow: D’Angelo.
