Track for track I got 7-6-1 in favor of Nas. Very close. I’m not choosing between I Gave You Power and Imaginary Players but if I had to I would pick I Gave You Power tbh, both so important and I know Imaginary aged amazing but the storytelling and metaphor on Gave You Power is too important

i dont like vol 1 as much as vol 2 and i love iww so iww wins by a long margin

if i ruled the world is one of the greatest rap songs ever made

If 'It Was Written' was a woman

6 7

Vol. 1 has worse lows and singles.

But the highs are similar on both so I'll go with IWW.

Also, IWW stayed more true to its theme than Vol. 1. Vol. 1 was kind of a mix between RD and a Bad Boy/Shiny Suit prototype album. Vol. 2 has more cohesion even.

JAŸ-Z calling IWW mid was a f***en boldfaced lie

Jay-Z

She so fine
