That's a huge classic. It could be year 2035, I'd still be banging it. 10.

yeh good question... i didn't want to give the impression that i don't appreciate nas' ability on the mic... i agree lyrically that the album was definitely groundbreaking... it's just that i hate those four or five beats so much, that i can't get past them...Originally Posted by Dae Ja Nae
6 is very harsh score, it's probably closer to a 7, but it makes it more interesting than everyone saying... 10/10, 10/10, 10/10...
i bump at least one song from this album at least once a day, this album is CLASSIC in all ways, no question

Anyone who didn't give this album a 10 or at least a 9, didn't hear the album around the time it came out, regardless. When illmatic came out that shit was like, THIS NIGGA IS CRAAZZY!! The album is still ill. I've bumped this album every day for about 2 years straight, in my boombox and never got tired of it. I heard someone playing this in their car while I was on the Ave the other day and I got amped up.

anyway to answer bedlam's question... i like the three premo beats, the world is yours and halftime... i don't like any others...
and teknicestyles, i'm old enough to have heard it when it came out... i've never once disputed nas' part of the album, but even he can't elevate some of the music...
like i said, i don't like it... just because the album is a classic doesn't mean it is an automatic hit with everyone...
Gave it a 9 because it is soo short
i want more.............................
Even though there are 2 songs I don't really love, i'm not a fucking idiot and i'll say this is a classic. Easily. Should be in everyones top 10 list.
A young and very humble Nas raps on point for each and every line of each and every track on this album. This is what music should be like 10/10

This album shudent have to be rated its automaticly one of the greatest rap albums ever to be made, Plus if any1 has heard the platnum version with two discs dey will no what i mean when i say On The Real is one of the hottest tracks fukin ever.
i got more riches than you, fuck more bitches than you only thing i havent got is more stitches than you.
MORE MORE MORE MORE 9 NOT AN LP I WANT MORE I PAIED THE LP PRICE BUT GOT 10 tracks. If the album came with the remixes and bonuses of the 10th remastered version i would give it a 10/10
