Nas Becomes First Rapper to Have Number 1 Albums in 3 Decades

With his 10th album, Life Is Good at number 1 on the Billboard top 200 albums chart this week, Nas becomes the first rapper to have number 1 albums in 3 decades. He dropped his first album (Illmatic) in 1994; although that didn't debut at number 1, his 2nd album, It Was Written (1996) made it to the top spot when it dropped. He also had a number one with his 3rd album (I Am) in 1999. That is 2 number one albums in the 90s.







Then he had 2 number one albums in the 00s- Stillmatic (2001), and Hip Hop Is Dead also made it to number one when it was released in 2006. Now, in 2012, he bags another number one with his Life Is Good album which dropped last week, and sold 149,000 copies in its first week in stores. Congrats to Nas on his longevity in the music industry.
