"It Aint Hard to Tell" is the best song on Illmatic

[ROFL_GUY]

and is the most influential song off illmatic..by default makes it one of the most influential songs in hip-hop history.. a genre defining song that is the true essence of what hip-hop is


you can hear the influence the production from kanye to j.cole

Track 12 is my shyt...

 

[vaudevillevillain]

I agree, my favorite song off Illmatic

Nas made the beat?

 

[Da_Eggman]

It changes all the time for me

But I gotta go Memory Lane

But ain't hard to tell is just an example of a guy in the zone that song could of prolly been 20 mins long and Nas could just keep spitting verses after verses

Nas made the beat?

Nah that large pro come on every head should know that

 

[vaudevillevillain]

Nah that large pro come on every head should know that

it's called sarcasm breh. OP made it seem as if Nas had something to do with the sample on the song still being used today. Why do i bother

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Agreed

 

[MoneyBags]

The World Is Yours Remix > The World Is Yours = It Ain't Hard To Tell = One Love > Life's A bytch = Memory Lane > NY State Of Mind > One Time For Ya Mind

 

[JuvenileHell]

Can't go wrong with any track on Illmatic being your fav though. All of them are solid...

It Ain't Hard to Tell is dope, but for me NY State of Mind, The World is Yours and Life's A bytch tie for the best tracks off Illmatic.

Also? This version of It Ain't Hard To Tell is dope too

 

[KyokushinKarateMan]

Memory Lane, hands down.. nah.. not hands down.. It Aint Hard to Tell definitely running a close second.

i dont think he was implying that

 

[ROFL_GUY]

"illmatic" has weak or boring production is a myth

 

[NotaPAWG]

One Time 4 Your Mind is my personal fav, with Life's A bytch being runner up
