The 10 Worst Nas Songs
By Julian Pereira | Sep 14, 2011 | 1:05 pm | Permalink
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAS! What can we say about Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones that hasn't already been said? He's a first ballot Hip-Hop Hall of Famer, he's routinely named as one of the greatest rappers ever, and his landmark debut album, Illmatic, is a masterpiece for the ages. That's why earlier this year we counted down his 100 best songs. Needless to say, Nas is one of the all time greats. So much for the good news.
The 38-year-old emcee has now spent two decades in the rap game, and it hasn't always been all good. Esco may have more classics in his catalog than most rappers have blunts in their ashtray, but he's definitely dropped some clunkers along the way (including the worst album fail of all time). So this birthday, our gift to Nas is to re-gift the garbage he's given us over the years. It's only right. Plus we heard that he's about to start penning his autobiography, so maybe Nas can tell us what went wrong. But for now, peep The 10 Worst Nas Songs.

Concerned September 14th, 2011 at 05:00 PM
They actually did the 100 greatest Jay songs. LMAO They are clearly trying to detroy Nas' legacy and influence. I liked most of these records and shit on most of Jay shit.
@N_C_B September 15th, 2011 at 12:09 AM

You must drink bleach. Your nose hairs are singed with bleach stink. I hate hate HATE "who killed it". Straight garbage. Bad enough that cd sucked ASS, but that song made me throw that cd away. I didn't even want it as a coaster...
yall fuckin up September 14th, 2011 at 01:28 PM
Wow I knew when I went into this list I wouldn't agree as usual. You guys should make the 20 worst Complex lists list

I guess that Ether still burns...
Shekeese September 14th, 2011 at 01:53 PM
FAIL - this is one of my FAVORITE Nas songs...it felt sincere...which you dont get from Nas a lot anymore...
Gomez September 14th, 2011 at 01:57 PM
Hey Complex, try getting the name of the album right. Streets Discipline? Really? You did it on another post too. It's Criminal Minded, not Criminally Minded.
Complex September 14th, 2011 at 02:01 PM
Fixed. Thanks. Where did it say Criminally Minded?
Gomez September 15th, 2011 at 12:20 AM
On the 50 worst rap album fails.
GAY Z September 15th, 2011 at 11:13 AM
oi where's the Jay Z list you biassed fucks!
Sam September 14th, 2011 at 02:07 PM
Weezy asked to be on "My Generation", not the other way around...
Joker September 14th, 2011 at 02:35 PM
This is the most blatantly biased BS I've ever seen. Dropping this list on his birthday and claim it as "repackaging the garbage" and "it's only fair". I guess someone needs to ride Jay so hard after that ether dropped on his birthday. It still burns slow. Complex is usually on point but, damn this is biased journalism at it's finest.
gasoline September 15th, 2011 at 10:03 AM
agreed...openly biased, as they discuss jay-z's best album between blueprint and reasonable doubt..smh
complex suck my dick! September 14th, 2011 at 02:38 PM
ya'll website & magazine is full of shit. fuck off hope you all die!
