About this listen

Hosts Bob Bain and Joe Massi tackle the biggest topics in hip-hop, starting with the legendary Nas. Is he making a late-career case for the Greatest MC of All Time after dropping six high-quality albums in three years (King's Disease and Magic series)? We discuss the volume, the quality, and his impact.


Then, the gloves come off as we attempt the impossible: drafting our personal, definitive Top 10 Hip-Hop Albums of All Time.

Inside this Episode:

  • Nas's Prolific Run: Six new albums since 2020. Is anyone else putting out this level of quality and volume?

  • The Illmatic Debate: Why one host thinks It Was Written is clearly a better album than Illmatic.

  • The Top 10 Arguments: Why Life After Death is a perfect, skip-free album, and where classics like The Chronic, Wu-Tang Forever, The Black Album, and College Dropout land on the list.
