i'm like that with most albums. i overplay them and then i need to take a break for awhile but when i listen to it again i bump for a month straight.
10/10 out of respect. Not a personal favorite though. 4,5,6 by Kool G Rap is what I call "Illmatic"
Nothing short of perfection. Every song is visual and puts you there. And that's why Memory Lane (Sittin In The Park) is my favorite song on here. Everything about it, from the beat, voice sample, to the story Nas is telling PUTS YOU THERE in the park.
NY State of Mind, The World Is Yours, It Ain't Hard To Tell, all classic tracks. Halftime was that joint you couldn't wait to bump in the car and turn the volume all the way up.
LOL@Keraj hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Those albums aren't better than Illmatic. Puerto Rock, Memory Lane is your favorite song on the album? You can't be serious LOL. NY State Of Mind, Life's A Bitch, The World Is Yours(video version remix is better), Halftime, One Love, One Time For Your Mind, Represent and It Ain't Hard To Tell are the best songs. I never listen to Memory Lane. I was listening to Illmatic this morning and I love the album pictures.
I love all those tracks bro.Quote:

NY State if Mind is probably my next favorite, followed by The World Is Yours. But no weak tracks for me on that album.
Maybe CJ would like the original production. Nas wanted the song to sound more nostalgic so Premo used a different sample.Quote:

I never heard that original sample, nice. I like it but it doesn't feel right for the song after all of this time only hearing the album version.
If you dont ike this album you dont like real rap music, period.
True. I love his videos The World Is Yours, The World Is Yours remix and It Ain't Hard To Tell from the album. Props to him for sampling Michael Jackson's Human Nature on It Ain't Hard To Tell and for saying I'm like Sly Stone in Cobra. I love Cobra movie and I got it on dvd. That's my favorite Sylvester Stallone movie.
Illmatic dropped twenty five years ago today. Vibes still resonate from this after all these years. Definitely a top three hip hop album.
Thirty years ago today, we were blessed with this classic.
