Nas doesnt have one song better than...

[Budda]

herd mentality. From a purely beats, rhymes and sonic standpoint...there are at least 10 albums better than Illmatic...I'd say theres a good 25 and It Was Written is actually one of em.

Creepin on ah Comeup > Illmatic. Keep it real.

This the type of nikka that says Bill Russell was the greatest, when people mention Jordan.

are you laughing at you Pac stanning buffoon, Pac never came through lyrically like that the only track fukking with this lyrically from Pac is Blasphemy, the instrumental is hypnotic beautiful xylophone composition, Q-Tip blessed the hook, and Nas spit a fukking epic about an incarcerated friend.

nostalgia is clearly clouding your judgement, and thats not even the best song on illmatic let alone better then a bonafide goat hip hop song contender.

I know you love Nasty but come on man. Thuggish Ruggish Bone > anything in Nas' catalogue probably.

Both are basically EPs, and I'm giving Bone the W every time.

I swear on my life Krayzie Bone is a better rapper than Nas . So underrated.

I'm a what have you done for me lately kinda dude...Life is Good didn't get played past three days. I was a Nas stan up to and through Gods son but just couldnt fukk with him once I grew up and continued to explore more music. Dude is boring. That's all there is to it. Hasn't had an entertaining, well rounded album since Stillmatic.

By a wide variety rappers, from different generations, as well as rap fans. Illmatic's critical acclaim and reverence is well documented, and undeniable. It's one thing if you think that Pac has better albums, but to deny Illmatic's status in the game is just foolish.
