[bigbadbossup2012]

ok thanks

i mean its only hyped up by Internet nerds but no one bumps that shyt it real life. Nothing stands out about that album like a reasonable doubt, not to mention its filled with basic ass rhymes (some that don't make sense) whereas reasonable doubt is filled with metaphors, double meanings, and just overall vibes better.

Nas is on my phone, reasonable doubt isn't

 

[DeuceCypherUno]

angry bitter nas stans like yourself try to ignore this fact

everyone ignores it because the fact has nothing to do with how they enjoy the album. duh

I swear idiots on here try to get a neg train rain on them...

The release of Illmatic was a watershed moment in hip hop.

not me

oh this is a Jay vs Nas thing

 

[Chip Skylark]

I don't know what the fukk this fool is talking about l. I didn't get into nas til 06 heard god son and stillmatic first but when I heard illmatic I was blown away. That album is amazing from beginning to end. If you're a rap fan and a fan of lyricism you would love that album.

 

[Tom Foolery]

Which isnt true at all. That's why nas changed his whole style afterward and start making bad boy sounding music with obvious loop samples and obvious jacked hooks from the 80's.
Dont matter which came first. Big and puff layed the ground work and finished the job. who blew up soundling like nas? who blew up and came through nas? lmao

Congratulations, you just played yourself.

Answer this, What does looping samples and Jacking 80's hooks have to do with receiving a 5 mic album '94?

When you answer this, it will lead into you to your other question.

You have no knowledge of hip-hop, just admit you're a poser. You just feed off of gloss and commercial appeal.

Street dreams and remix

if he was really the blueprint with ILLMATIC,then he wouldnt had to switch to a more bad boy flava for his second album

Just say you don't know and you're ready to understand.

Illmatic is a myth.

 

[NYC Warrior]

niggidy negged

 

[Lord Scion]

I swear this is like the 8th time OP thought to himself. "How do I want to get negged today? Make yet another Nas thread."

I schooled you. You cant claim that illmatic laid the ground work,when the game clearly shifted in bad boy's direction.
