Nigga you said he was substanceless, are you dense or something? Don't do that, just cause you don't "relate" to a rapper dosen't make it any less smh
Try re-reading a few more times, maybe you will get it eventually.
Life is Good is my favorite Nas album.
Not sure how it applies to this topic but eh.
Illmatic is flawless though. One of the few records that deserved a perfect 10. The rapping is immaculate, the production is timeless. The mandatory renegade is present. It’s beautiful.
And then when Nas performed it live front to back with the live instrumentation behind it
which is it monkey or sheep
I've listened to it. Some tracks many, many times. That's not the point of my question. You are making claims without backing it up. That's not the point of this thread. The point is to give reasons. Too many people list this as the "best" album, and my hypothesis is that they do so because critics and "hiphop heads" do so as well. They simply follow and fit in.
damn you’re mad
If you think Illmatic is a top 10 Hiphop album of all time and/or think it is Nas' best album, let us know why you think that.
nigga stfu all over this thread. no ones gonna justify to you what’s blindingly obvious
you just came here asking if the sky’s blue and are acting annoyed at people going duh
