More Impressive: Havocs production at 18 vs Nas writing Illmatic at 18

[BrothaZay]

On one end we got some of the most impressive flips in producing history, all done by a 18 year old. On the other one of the most critcially acclaimed albums of alltime on the Emcee side, by another 18 year old.

Im big Havoc stan so Ima go with him, tho u cant go wrong either way

[Inspect Her Deck]

Pretty even. Can't decide on which.

If you ask me what I PREFER, then Havoc's production. But Nas penning Illmatic and pretty much all of it for that matter might get the slight edge.

Nas, easily.
As havoc was the protege to q-tip And was present in the black moon recording sessions.
Nas had no one to influence or show him personally the way to build on skill, like havoc.

Not to sound like a stan but I think it's silly to try and discredit Havoc because he was "mentored" by other producers.
You gotta remember this was early 90s music production. Long before a wannabee producer can just download FL studios for free and look at tutorials on youtube, and start making beats laying down with your laptop in your lap. You had to actually invest in hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars of HARDWARE. All in a time period where the mim wage was like $3.00. So it's only logically that if you wanted to produce during that time, find a big homie or someone who already has everything since you can't afford it, and naturally they'll give you a few pointers as well just out of love since you are using their equipment.
