can somebody please explain why illmatic is rated so high? smh?
i just dont get it i just read a comment saying that's the best lyrics ever written i mean what??? are you kidding me smh. i like nas alot he's one of my fav's one of the greats but illmatic is not that good the album was 2 short it lacked hot skits besides the genises which was popular in the 90's it lacked concepts,, one love and life's a ***** was the only concept song. one time 4 ya mind was a decent song at best i could name loads of songs better than that. i mean why??/ why??? why??/ why??/ why??? why??? lmao this is crazy i never new a 9 song album with 7 freestyles on it could be considered the best. its gotta be something else but like i said u get people like that every now and then he's one of those people others just wanna give the crown. Nas is is great i'm not knocking his legacy but he's flawed just like many mc's. Big Ready To Die is better now that's a complete entertaining album. i dont' get it(shrugs) face palming hard right now smh

The real reason that its so highly rated is the fact that illmatic was the original
album that has changed and influenced hip hop 4 life, and putting it to its peek. Expecially
the east. SO...that's why!
a million. The Genesis - 5 (I desire Nas could have rhymed over that beat on the radio,i like it) 2. long island suggestions set - 5 3. life's a b*tch - 5 4. the international is yours - 5 5. Halftime - 5 6. reminiscence Lane - 5 7. One love - 4.5 8. One time 4 your suggestions - 4.5 9. characterize - 5 10. It ain't annoying to tell - 5
Because Nas is a muthafuuuuk.in poet thats why, redefined hip hop and the way it was looked at, rather than loud and brash music of the west Nas brought a sense of smoothness to his music
