It’s been 22 Years since Nas first hit radio waves, and he’s enjoyed the type of success that is strictly for the best of all time. Nas doesn’t support the claim, but people like to give out titles, and this one was carefully selected, let’s break it down! “Greatest” instead of most successful, “lyricist” instead of hip hop artist, MC or rapper, and last but not least “Of all time” instead of today. Though only one other artist has more Chart Topping Rap albums, Jay-Z with 11, Nas has 9 Number 1 rap albums which has only been matched by 2Pac (though 7 of his albums were posthumously released.) Hit the jump for more. PaulDaPro
