I was telling someone the other day that its weird that ready to die is known as classic but it really should be praised like illmatic. Its somehow a known classic and still slept on. S*** is a mbdtf level album. I dont think anyone can argue that s***.
Both BIG albums are masterpieces imo
always thought LAD > RTD
It deserves its own thread tbh both are incredible. I like his voice and delivery more on RTD, but I like the production on LAD more. He never missed, in terms of verses.
Illmatic. No rap album is better than it
Ready to die is pretty crazy tho
Unpopular opinion but I always preferred It Was Written and Life After Death to both.
But, if it boils down to these 2, then it's Illmatic for me easily.
ive come to like life after death just as much as ready to die. idk if its just me getting older and appreciating it more, or if i just played the s*** out of ready to die
ive played life after death a crap ton tho the past few years, and im not bored of it
yeah i love RTD but illmatic is illmatic
I really dont understand why people are saying Reasonable Doubt. It's a very good album, a classic, but it's not Illmatic or Ready to Die level come on.

Reasonable Doubt is better than Ready To Die for me tbh
Both great
