Can never listen to Dance without crying tbh

It’s not though, because Stillmatic has a lot of actual classic songs. And I was talking more the cultural impact of ether more so than the actual song

Stillmatic is split between the old old gen and new old gen of hate & love

Like how seemingly IWW was for those gens of the time

IWW was a letdown to anyone expecting Illmatic 2, but that s*** may have aged better than any other rap album in history

Greatest Rapper of ALL time

The GOAT.

First album underrated

u got em bro ... goood one brother... Esco got songs that dwarf those Ghost babies whole discography put together

Yeah, idk what it is, it has some of his most classic songs but then some of it sounds so dated to me.

Early 2000’s prod imo is the most dated prod outside of 80’s.

& I started listening to music a little later than everyone else in my age group. Like 2006 when I remember other kids taking about Eminem in like 2003.
Tryna imagine a timeline where I’m asking my mom for an Eminem cd at age 9

he got 2 for sure but when 1 is illmatic then 1 is all you need

Throw Street's Disciple on there OP

Cut some of the fat off and streets disciples shoots up towards the top

Yeah 2000s is my second least fav era too as a whole, after 80s

But i jave noticed that people my/our age 23 to 26 love stillmatic while the gen above us saw it as a disappointment

Jungle said it's the best Nas album cuz the songs were "bigger"

I get what he means, Nas did some s*** on that album that he had never done before.

Nas has a p solid discog now all things considered.

Musically he's on Mars..

This was supposed to be a nationwide tour before the plague hit

Illmatic, IWW, and The Lost Tapes 1 are classics...Stillmatic is close.

Schoolboy Q & Kendrick love IWW & Stillmatic too & have been very open back in the early 2010s that its some of their favs.

Especially Schoolboy Q lmao, he was salty that people back in the day s***ted on IWW & to him he thinks its better than Illmatic, & that Stillmayic is heavily underrated.

Shows the difference of eras right there.

Spitta said he thinks IWW is better than Illmatic too

I honestly fluctuate between them

he got negative classics cuz he anti-vax to me

He said 1 line about vaccines and white redditors never looked back

Meanwhile y'all don't keep the same energy for other rappers who had anti vax lines like Gibbs, Jay Rock and Big Sean
