I think it's a classic but not a GOAT contender.
Most overrated hiphop album ever ?

Legal drug money is better than the infamousIllmatic is a GOAT album contender.
I bolded your choices that are GOAT album contenders.
At Lost Boyz
The ten song thing doesn't make sense.
And how dowsnt it. Most albums are given strikes for their weaker songs. Half those albums have twice the songs illmatic does. Thats half the reason people say its perfect.
If i took the ten best songs from a lot of albums and put it gainst illmatic i could name 50 albums id put up there will illmatic.

Rainy dayz
Wu gambinos
Glaciers of ice
Incarcerated acarfaces
Heaven and hell
Northstar
Ice water
Ice cream
Knowledge god
Verbal intercourse
Imagine if it was just that. Itd be 5 mics. Luckily its still 5 mics with the other 7 songs but theird be no "eh" songs like how some people say spot rushers is eh.
how many times have you heard wutang forever shohlda been one disk and it woulda been 5 mic or life after death
Illmatic kept it short n sweet. Funny how the next best nas album is also short n sweet: lost tapes.
Im just saying. Illmatic is heralded as perfect but its short as fukk. Moat albums are longer yet get points taken away for 1-2 eh songs even if they have MORE great songs than illmatic
Liquid swords is simile to illmatic in they both short. Illmatic IS NOT better than liquid swords. Not lyrically. Not beat wise.
Illmatic IS overrated

You gotta be the only person I've ever heard say that.
And yeah I get your point about ten songs, but it is what it is. We have to compare the albums as they actually are, not what they could have been.
And I never heard anyone shyt on Spot Rusherz other than here
That's a perfectly acceptable opinion. I love LS. It's somewhere in my 7-10. But that's a fringe minority opinion for the most part.
I've seen people call it a classic on herePeople consider this a great album

Has like 2 eh so gs and filled with anthems. Id put tjose 9 up with illmatics 9 all day
This album = Diet Lemonade (no Beyonce)
Checked this album out because "OMGZ J Cole is so real". Cringy lyrics, ok beats, and just plain boring ass album. I don't understand the hype behind dude when Murs actually did the introspective raps better without coming off as a bummy prickest hipster.
Cole stans be easy brehs. It's just opinions. Put down the swords.
Just so flat
Even when he's tryna make "a statement" about white artist, he kills it with
"Nah, I'm playin"Soft
I supported because he thought he deserved a look
May not even stream that new joint, seems like pt 2 of this
Yo this thread is ridiculous with some of the albums named.

You can only call an album "overrated" if you were around for the time it came out.
Some of ya'll got Lil Whateva Ears, and callin' albums out when you was in diapers.
College Dropout overrated? Really
Illmatic? A record that caused a storm in the culture? Stop.
