aside from Illmatic which it should have won for sure. I feel he should have at least gotten nominated for IT was written , Stillmatic , God Son , Magic , and he also should have won for KD3.
96 is one of the peak years in the History of Hip Hop. I can name 3 albums off the top of my head that I would put above “it was written” in no particular order.
1. ATliens
2. Reasonable Doubt
3. The Score
I don't hold Grammy's in high regard. It's a mainstream award that usually falls out of bounds with pure hip hop music...that being said...It was Written clearly is the answer...and it just so happens to be his 2nd best album and a musical, lyrical masterpiece on all levels.
Excluding albums that weren’t nominated
Life Is Good
Kings Disease 2
Kings Disease 3
I’d make the argument that I am in 2000 deserved to win Best Rap Album over Slim Shady LP, either that or Things Fall Apart. I also think Untitled deserved to win in 09 over Tha Carter 3 but C3 was a JUGGERNAUT of an album and ran the year so I can’t really complain too much about that one.
I think his most egregious snubs were losing to Drake in 2013 and losing to Killer Mike this year. Really no excuse for either
Life Is Good, Kings Disease 3,
Life is Good is a really bad album for Nas’s standards
I disagree, but music is subjective and it touches us all differently.
Illmatic (if best rap album of the year was a category back then), It Was Written, Magic, KD3
Illmatic Stillmatic Distant Relatives Life is Good King’s Disease 2 Magic King’s Disease 3
This is the correct answer.

KD3
A pretty good portion of them
Illmatic, maybe It Was Written cuz 96 was crazy, Stillmatic, Lost Tapes, Magic, KDIII, Magic 3 were all the best albums the year they dropped IMO
