Nas- Illmatic
Big Pun- Capital Punishment
Raekwon- Cuban Links
Peace

I believe that if you care about real Hip Hop, that it is essential that Illmatic is in your collection.
Incredible album, timeless beats and rhymes with some of the illest producers ever, it represented a time that is lost, it represented East Coast coming out hard and hitting and not letting the G-Funk era take over, it represented a time of skills and love for the rap game.

i know this album should be 10/10, but i give it 9/10 because i was not feeling to production..
Lot of hostility in thread. Illmatic was a classic album but not my fav my nas. I like it was written the best.

Best album of all time.
If this isn't a 10, i don't know what is.
google/10
Illmatic is the only good album he's done LOL. What a shame too because Nas is a great mc. The reason i don't like his albums is because of beats. He has the same problem picking good beats just like other good mc's like Ras Kass, Canibus, AZ, Nature, Cormega, Tragedy Khadafi.
damn was reading that XXL story on "Illmatic" yesterday and haven't bumped it for a while but that whole LP is inprinted in my mind to death, bar-for-bar, beat for beat, sample for sample... illest ever in one way, alot due to fact that it's 10 PERFECT songs - not a weak lyric or beat is nowhere to be seen and it's just a blessing to listen to it.
"Illmatic" is the curse and the blessing for NaS though; he delivered what is considered the best hip-hop album of all time and was hailed as the king for it and therefore nothing he's delivered after it, though alot of it being quality, has been able to live up to the expectations.
daily updates: news, articles, reviews, the best compilations on the net. that true skool street hop!
r.i.p. Johan D, Kaddu, Ricke a.k.a. "Slick Rick" and the rest of the fallen soldiers - you'll never be forgotten!
I agree with your 2nd paragraph. He hasn't lived up to expectations after Illmatic. He'll do a few good songs but i can't listen to his albums anymore. If he would do a album with just beats from DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Large Professor, that would be ill. He needs to make that shit happen and stop getting beats from these wack producers he's been dealing with. I wonder what happened to the album he was gonna do with only beats from DJ Premier. I would like to see that come out.
The World Is Yours remix is my shit. I love that song and the video is gutter. LOL@white dude got robbed by those black dudes hahahahahaha. LOL@white dude walking outta the alley with 2 prostitutes.
that is a banger
