this is nas central so of course yes is going to get the most votes, but this is one case where nas actually deserves it. that album is something we will never experience again. a group of super producers w/ the best and youngest mc going? it's funny cause it's kind of sad that he was able to create an album that incredible and not come anywhere close to it on future releases.

I swear to God there's a post like this at least once a day on this forum. I don't get it.

To answer the question though, Illmatic is top 3 all time for me, but Life After Death is the goat album in my opinion.

Such really doesn't exists as there are too many tastes and opinions for a consensus answer. One thing is certain though, Illmatic is ONE of the Greatest Hip Hop Albums of All Time. Personally, I feel Aquemini is the greatest. The lyrics, the flows, the concepts, and the production just sets that album one incredible experience. ATLiens, Soul Food, Life After Death, and Stillmatic round out my top 5, but if I had to pick one, then it's Aquemini.

nah, just the nygga who rushed to "dap" your post for the most part.

Look Pac was great.. I hate to shyt on dude material... but Nas album has way more critical acclaim than any of Pacs and thats not saying Nas is more highly regarded. Its just is what it is

You realize what you're saying is purely an opinion, right? You can drop that critical acclaim jargon all you want, it doesn't mean shyt to people with a different viewpoint.

the fact that someone starts an illmatic vs X thread daily over any other album in existence is enough proof that it is...
