that sound is dated as fukk...I was just listening to strictly for my nikkaZ yesterday and that was released around the same time as illmatic and it still bump...illmatic outside of it ain’t hard to tell, the world is yours, and NY state of mind is unlistenable...shyt the rhymes were below par...if nas kept releasing music like that, he wouldn’t be around 25 years later...people forget that you need good music to make good music...beat selection has been nas’ Achilles hell for a quarter of a century now...

Paid in Full is basically a glorified EP as well.
And I think you meant Criminal Minded, if you were going with debuts.
Fantastic list though.
Except Legal Drug Money. I know you love that album, but it’s just not held in that regard.
Illmatic is better than all those album though. Only one album better than it.
OBFCL is real close.
You know what, the infamous is also a high level classic. I like mf doom more but even I have to admit that mobb deeps debut is better than dooms.
Probably a top 5 debut to be real.
If you don't like any boom bap at all, the you really aren't a hip hop fan to me.None
Which doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things, like what you like. But you have far too narrow a frame of reference.
Which songs specifically?
What is par for you?
Give me an example of what's par, if Nas on Illmatic is below it.
My breh @JuvenileHell would like a word with you. :prodigylol:

Illmatic has some of the best hip hop so he’s ever recorded. Including my personal favorite Memory Lane. Illmatic has been one of my favorite albums for 17 years, but I think OB4CL is the best now.

Nas on fast life with Kool G rap outshine anything he did on illmatic...
Ok. You’re just saying Nas got better? I thought you were saying the rhymes on Illmatic weren’t up to par compared to what was out.

No it wasn’t up to par compared to his later work...which is strange considering that everybody seems to be in agreement that his first album is not only his best work, but he greatest rap album of all time...the album was okay and he get bonus points for being 18-19 when he was spitting on there...but BiG ready to die was better...illmatic is not the greatest and it’s badly overrated...Nas would’ve been AZ if he ain’t switch his style and production up...

I've heard nothing but good things aboutadvallainy. Recommend that before dooms solo? I don't really mind a group debut if it's held up with classic solos.
I still don't know how I feel about doom, lyrical skills at all but hopefully this changes my mind.
I've heard cube's off and on but never start to finish. Still recommend it? Illmatic had fire sequencing. I'm wanting that flows as smoothly as that.
Nas was a killer on "Represent." You have that Premier beat which sounds like impending danger, like it's time for you to pay for your sins. Then Nas just slaughters it for three whole verses.
Love committing sins and my nikkas sell crack.
Nas was on another level spitting this shyt.

I've always meant to listen to OB4CL but Ghost was the Wu member I really fukked with. Gonna change that now.
