Our family over at Complex compiled a list of the 50 worst album fails in hip hop history. Check what they had to say about Nas’ Nastradamus below, then head over to their site for the complete list.
Any albums, the dopeboyz/girlz want to add to the list?
Relapse!
WTT
that new lil wayne album is so bad he sounds like a monster or something. people say about banks voice all the time. plus he a bad role model for the kids that think his cool. he aint a blood or a gangster or a real nigga he FAKE been living the good life since a teenager
this list is horrible…i stopped takin it serious after they said the firms album had a pop oriented sound…really?!…these are da same people dat would say WTT is a classic
man I cant fuck with complex, garbage asses
complex sucks ass. only reason you published it is because they have there hand up your ass like a puppet. you post what they tell u to post. look at bottom of your site it says they own you
These albums should NOT have been on this list:
46. Leaders Of The New School, T.I.M.E. (The Inner Mind’s Eye) (1993)
42. Das EFX, Straight Up Sewaside (1993)
16. Common, Electric Circus (2002)
substitute The New Danger, Electric Circus, and Beats Rhymes & Life with 808′s & Heartbreak, Blueprint 3, and 808′s & Heartbreak again
^Umm, 808′s & Heartbreak wasn’t a rap album
Theyre smoking some serious crack at complex.
Wtf brand nubain shouldn’t be on there
and 808s was fucking sick, if you have any musical ear at all you would have appreciated it
3 Words … WATCH THE THRONE
i haven’t even read the list yet, and im already saying its B.S., becasue nastradamus is in my top 3 for nas’ catalog
I agree with #1. That Nas album sucked.
I actually like the Can-I-Bus album… And the Firm and Nastradamus aren’t THAT bad. Its probably just the inner-Stan in me though.
How the fuck was beats life and rhymes a fail WTF?!!
The fact they put The New Danger & A Tribe Called Quest album on this list shows how bad they were at making this list. & Yes, Kingdom Come was a bad album, but top 50 worst rap albums? No way.
Watch the throne.
Doggystyle
Regulate G Funk Era
All Eyez On Me
Chronic
Tha Carter IV
@Nard its worst album FAILS not worst albums..meaning albums that didnt live up to its hype
They forgot Eminem’s “Encore”. Shit sounded like somebody farted in a box for 76 minutes and 40 seconds.
i honestly never thought Nastradamus and the Firm were such bad albums lol… I liked them
ceaaazy man
u take ur suggestions back u punk bitch
co-sign @Fourth eat… they aren’t listing the worst albums of all time… they’re listing albums that severely underwhelmed…do I bump Nastradamus? from time to time… Shoot Em Up used to be my fucking anthem, but stacked against Nas’ catalogue, that album was garbage
all these people dissing in the comments and disliking the post dont understand what this actually is lol
I usual never comment nor dislike a post, but this list is BULLSHIT..complex got no idea what the fuck they talking about..
@ (i,K) i think they know its a fail compared to their classic body of work i mean i agree with some of the albums they but puttin the firm, Unplugged,BTL, electric circus and doggfather there com’on IMO those ar classics nastrudamus wasn’t even that bad project windows was the best song on there tho
@A$tro
i agree some of the picks may be off but so far from what ive heard or seen on the list it isnt crazy to put them on there
The New Danger isn’t even a rap album!
Beats Rhymes and Life has no place on this list haha. The darkness of the beats on that album alone makes it dope.
Any Das Efx after Dead Serious What a huge let down.
I know exactly what this list is: garbage.
Also, making it so you have to click through the gallery 50 times is bullshit. Just put up the list in one or a few pages; it is a “list” isnt it?
Tha Carter 4!
if you think about it “Worst Rap Album Fails” actually means the albums which were the most successful. Syntax fail
Why was Kingdom Come on there??? it was a good album… and Beats Rhymes and Life was a damn good album… This list sucks..
Eazy-E, It’s On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa… HOW THE FUCK DID THIS MAKE THE LIST???
…i can no longer take them seriously. no words
Raekwon- Immobilarity, did they even listen to it? Looks like they went on Wikipedia, didn’t see much wu features and no rza production so labelled it a fail, it wasn’t as good as ob4cl but when you compare an artist’s best album with another of their albums the majority of the time you won’t be impressed, i know too many raekwon/wu fans who haven’t checked out immobilarity or the lex diamond story, if you havent either you should atleast d/l them and listen properly
Cosign david that shit was so wack i tried to return because of that I was like nah its the right guy the albums just wack and RIP Tower Records bc they took it back, but didnt nastradomas have Nas Is Like that song alone is worth the album people just =point to the puff song
Lupe Fiasco – Lasers
Real talk.. Nastradamus was that shit. You either wasnt a real Nas fan or you couldnt feel it. Nastradamus was telling you everything that Nas was going through at the time. in that period of time..Nas was telling you everything that wasnt happening before it happened. Its references to jay and carmen and everythign that happened during the battle afterwards. If you were high and going through shit at that time…then you felt Nas. At that time in his life he was going through it and it shows in his music. Trust me.. Nastradamus was that shit!! go back and listen to the shit he was kicking. PLUS.. he still sold like 400,000 the first week. back then Nas and Jay were moving mad units.
ATCQ “Stressed Out” was a great song, one there wrong for putting the album on the list and two there wrong for naming that the worst song on the album
they really put quest on that list, complex is run by some wack as fucking niggas. and to think i wanted to work there some day…
wtf is beats, rhymes, and life doing on this fucking list?!?!? i love that album, probably 1st or 2nd favorite tribe album
Lol also that mos def album was the ish they should’ve put encore there
ILL PUT IT PLAINLY!! NAS HAS THE WORST RAP LP EVER…………………………………………..
HE ALSO HAS THE BEST!!! NEED I SAY MORE!!
Nastradamous ain’t that bad… might be Nas’ weakest, but coming from Nas that’s still tight. Shit knocks harder than some of Jay’s worst for sure.
i don’t get the relapse hate. Relapse was WAAAY better than Recovery. Relapse was just too dark for the mainstream. Recovery is hands down Em’s worst album.
^^^
Yeah hearing Em rap in that screaming baby voice is just what people wanted to hear. Aaaah Stans, what wont they say?
Blood Money is a dope album even if it is polished. Dope beats. Just came out at the wrong time.
i stopped after don’t sweat the technique and walkin’ with a panther. this list is kind of a joke.
List is kind of a joke, but props for having Beats Rhymes and Life on there. I always used to say “Jay Dee?? The guy responsible for ruining the Tribe sound?” Everyone was too busy riding the dead man’s dick to remember he helped turn the Tribe into mush.
….C4?
