this is what I been sayin for years, naS stans are the dumbest nikkaz on the net. Also the album is garbage and had no impact what-so-ever outside of naS block.

How is Illmatic not influential? It's arguably the most influential album of All-Time. It inspired Nas' contemporaries like Jay Z, Mobb Deep and Tupac as well as artists of today from all over the country such as The Game, Kendrick, Lupe Fiasco. Elzhi a Detroit nig*a loved Illmatic so much he made his own Elmatic. It was one of the albums that led to the renaissance of hip hop in NYC during the 90s, it led to the decline of alternative hip hop. Look at the way guys most were rhyming pre-Illmatic.The album has perfect to nearly perfect reviews by most critics, it's been called the best album ever and is an undisputed classic. The album is legendary no what you trolls have to say.
Oh you mean dudes like Rakim and Kool G Rap
Ops comparison is off and anyone who co signed him is off. Illmatic came out in 1994. 8 Mile came out in 2002. Illmatic was part of the building blocks that influenced Hip Hop in the mid 90's. It all balls down the the "if u kill a butterfly in the past it will affect the future" effect. Em once mentioned Nas as his influence......so whos to say it wasnt Nas that really put the battery in his back to be an emcee? If that were such the case then one could say Nas helped create who Em was thereby contributing to the creative forces behind 8 mile...
SMH @ anyone who co signed ops bullsh*t

Within Hip Hop it Illmatic had impact on the way dudes rapped and was part of the albums that brough NY back
Within pop culture 8 Mile made battle rapping become mainstream..which wasnt necessairly a good thing but had impact.

nikkaz outside of NY dont give a fukc that illmatic with its 4 or 5 copies sold "brought NY back"... when in actuality it was RTD... also check how Rakim, KGR, BDK, and Treach were rapping in 1990 and try to act like illmatic influenced them

Never, ever gets enough respect or love. lol @ clowns thinking nobody rapped like nas before nas. Treach was ridiculous with it. If anything, nas was studying Treach.nikkaz outside of NY dont give a fukc that illmatic with its 4 or 5 copies sold "brought NY back"... when in actuality it was RTD... also check how Rakim, KGR, BDK, and Treach were rapping in 1990 and try to act like illmatic influenced them

And RTD influenced IWW....but of course Biggie himself said he wanted to make "Illmatic on steroids" with that first joint
Illmatic steadily built its re[ outside of NY over the course of the 2 years after release which is why by the time he got to the second album he was major and anticipated. Now you might say that be because of one single assisted by L Boogie. But it takes more than a single for that to happen and be number 1 on the charts for 3 weeks like IWW was in July 96
Even had Lesanne Crooks calling him the alledged ring leader and Waslalu inspired to pick up the mic

Treach influnced a tounge twisting flow with New York MCs and to a larger aspect Eminem, though I think even he was maybe a little influenced by Kane as Nas was G Rap and Ra. But after 94 it felt like cats were going back to a more scientific style of rhyming following Illmatic. To shoot the fair one that's not to say people like Pharoah Monch werent doing it first, but there's a reason people highlight Nas too cause he had definetly caught a few ears out there when he tried.

i already posted ALL the mentions of nasir bin olu dara by one Lesane Crooks that have been captured on camera or record.... none were favorable towards naS. Also as I have repeatedly stated in regards to Lu and niccaz my age in Chicago we did not fukc with illmatic.... didnt give two shyts. IWW was nice though. The alleged ring leader has nothing to do with rap skills. naS seen too many movies.
i remember thinking that 8 Mile soundtrack was so fukking terrible, ha. aside from the Gang Starr joint, i loved that shyt, that whole album felt so corny and lame to me for some reason. ironically, even the nas song was wack

Oh I dont know about that, Common seems to speak about Illmatic highly and hearing it around his block in Chicago vividly.

Because they prefer to ride his nuts. Pretty simple.

Not unless there's a reason and the reason was it was pretty damn good album from a good MC
