I use to get mad when Illmatic gets brought up. Not because it's a classic but because u would think that's the only album he dropped that's great. Don't get me wrong that's a classic fukkin album. But I feel like he's doing it to his self now that I think about it. What about the other 11 albums he's put out. I know illmatic made a big impact but this documentary should be more about his career honestly. Maybe I'm jumping the gun though.

The doc was supposed to be a story in Vibe for the 10 year anniversary but it grew into something bigger.

One9: Well initially, Erik was the music editor at Vibe. As an artist, I was painting a lot and using iconography to tell stories. He was doing a 10-year anniversary piece onIllmatic, and he realized it needed a bigger platform. It needed the in-depth stories that a documentary could tell…

Erik Parker: It needed One9 [laughs]…so I got in touch with him and said, “Let’s get together so we can tell a bigger story.” One9 is a very advanced, visual storyteller, and I come from a journalistic background, and knew the story we could create. So we got together with a group of friends, put together whatever money we could, got whatever cameras we could find, and just started shooting whenever we had the time. We developed the story together and started seeing something bigger.

i feel u. i was thinking maybe the nas fans that might not think this album had much of an impact can finally understand what all the hype is about. looks pretty interesting so i'm looking forward to it :manny:
