But f*** this thread

Memory lane too low

First people are out here saying It Was Written is better than Illmatic and now THIS? In a few years watch niggas unironically call Illmatic trash/mid.

how can something be perfect if you don’t like something about it?

Part of the crew
Part of the ship f*** nigga
Welcome To Hell!!!!
Now here’s one time on an endless loop

You ever been married?

Memory Lane for me

most underrated track from album imo

Tip killed this beat

Thanks for letting us know not to take your music opinions seriously going forward

Imagine looking to the KTT music section of all places for validation

OP's life is definitely a b**** and he does not puff lye

I skip every song on that album

Song has been of my favs on there since I was a kid tbh

The little wood block sound in the snare

literally my first thought

bro down bad unhappily married 😂😂

Without life’s a b**** illmatic doesn’t go from queens to BK, harlem, Bronx, etc. to worldwide.

AZ is legend

To me, AZ is right behind Jungle when it comes to important people in Nas’ legacy.

I cant change your mind, but check out the firm collabs or Nas/AZ collabs like The Flyest. They play off each other so well

Point about it being ILLMATIC is they’re all great. cant take any off, especially a song that says

“I wasn’t born I shot my way out my mom dukes”

it aint hard to tell is my favorite by far

Nas Lifes A B**** verse is f***ing masterful

that sucks

im done
