One Gotta Go: Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, Ready to Die

[AJaRuleStan]

Ready to Die.

 

[Osmosis]

Ready to Die easily

 

[King A.D 7]

There's been about a dozen of these "One gotta go" threads with Illmatic in it... Probably in hopes that it gets the cut... Understand that it's gon' win every time. The GOAT album. Deal with it.

Illmatic. Though I have Nas over both of them (slightly) in my list.

I just never got the hype. I guess you had to be in NY in '94.

Beats sound dated and Nas' flow wasn't quite there. He was on cruise control like 2 years later

 

[I.AM.PIFF]

Reasonable Doubt for me even if I love that album

 

[Pseudo]

Reasonable Doubt easily.

Illmatic: 5/5

Ready to Die: 4.5/5

RD: 4/5

 

[Nomad1]

RD easy

 

[Mike Otherz]

ready to die. obv influnced, preceded reasonable doubt but i listen to RD way more.

 

[Champion]

I think Illmatic is the weakest album on the poll.

 

[Columbo]

I really gotta think about Ready To Die vs Reasonable Doubt
Illmatic ain't going nowhere

Thats exactly where im at...tough call between r2d and rd

Reasonable Doubt. I ended up becoming a Jay-Z fan but I remember when it first came out I didn't even buy it because I didn't like Jay-Z. I didn't know he switched his flow up until someone else was banging it in a Walkman and I decided to give it a shot.

I ain't mad at that.
