    He just needed that spark which Jay ultimately gave him. Between his mother being sick and trying to go mainstream for sales, he lost his true voice. I'm glad he didn't sell his soul and realized this is not who Nas should be. I love the progression of his music. He started out as a kid and evolved into the legend that he is today. What didn't kill him mad him a better Emcee.

      Untitled at Number 9??? I think I understand where you're coming from though. I didn't appreciate the "hype" around/leading up to Untitled. I thought Nas took the promotion way too far. In fact, he nearly compromised the album by overdoing it with the promotion. But if you listen to Sly Fox, Slave and the Master, Southern Fried Chicken, Queens Get The Money (Intro), Louis Farrakhan, Testify...I mean, that's easily six classics right there! I liked the whole album minus two or three tracks. I think the "Untitled" album is top 5 easily...it was a great conceptual album. Here's how I'd order it.
      1. Illmatic
      2. The Lost Tapes
      3. Stillmatic
      4. It Was Written
      5. Untitled
      6. Gods Son
      7. I Am
      8. Life is Good
      9. Hip Hop is Dead
      10. Streets Disciple
      11. Nastradamus (this really is the worst in his entire catalog, but still LIGHT YEARS better than 85% of what's out there. Skits were really corny, but I think people fail to realize that "Project Windows" and "Life We Chose" were really good songs).

They didn’t sell out, it’s called reaching the masses. Run DMC was mainstream and that was the early 80’s. That’s some of the earliest Hip Hop, and this being known why do u listen to rap then? It’s always been this way lol. If people stayed underground forever it would’ve never been known all over the world like it is today. So you can thank these so-called sell out rappers
