*Listens to Illmatic*

I swear every time I listen to this album a new verse catches my attention. It’s like the first time I heard it all over again. Never gets old.

I remember seeing this on Video Music Box in ‘94. It was kinda like a short making of Illmatic. BTW heres Jay-Z’s Making Of Reasonable Doubt documentary from VH1

Co-signs with hesitation cause I love Stillmatic more depndin on the day…

This goes along with the making of illmatic article in the source. Good looks on posting it

Illmatic is the best hip hop album of all time. That album is incredible.

It is funny how people say every album is a classics nowadays but this is a true classic and this is what a classic should sound like.

Lol @ shorty sayin’ “I’m just doin’ my own thing!” Dude couldn’t have been more than what … ten, eleven? But extra good, good look on this one though 4 real. As a huge NaS fan u blessed me outta’ nowhere with this one 4 real.

feeling this clip, thanks for posting

Nice.

fuckin dope ass video, thanx for postin it. it would be nice if more artists today would watch this shit and learn somethin. the mainstreams a joke now. nas is at legendary status in my opinion. amazing, talented mc

You see the thing is this: It took Jay Z till the blueprint/black album to sound as polished as he does now whereas the biggies, pacs, nases and eminems always sounded polished. Nas is the goat. Name a rapper hes not influenced? He influenced Jay cos Jay always sampled and named Nas in his songs. he influenced pac with his gun song produced by prem

Quillis wtf are you talking about Nas had wack albums like Nastradamous and I Am wasn’t great either. You won’t find a worser album than Encore that album was trash. Pac never had good albums either All Eyes on Me was the stand out though but Biggie is a different story both Readie To Die & Life After Death were classics.

Jay-Z had his faults aswell but he was more consistant than Nas.
