Reasonable Doubt has aged considerably better than Illmatic
- Thread starter Not Crodie
- Start date
I agree, can i live still sounds smooth to this day, can't say the same about illmatic.
aging better isnt the term i would go with.
what i would say is that it reasonates better with people who got into hip-hop after the mid-90s.
besides, these albums werent recorded in the same era anyway, like dude said on the 1st page.

The production is a little more polished on RD....

Lyrically, Jay is not seeing shyt like NY State of Mind, One Love, The World is Yours on Illmatic. Just in terms of rhyming, complexity and schemes.
Add to the fact that it was in all likelihood written by a teenager.
Listening to RD now.
Jay was so good on this album, it's a shame in a way he dumbed down for dollars despite the success it brought him. Love this album.
Haven't listened to for ages, the album sounds great. I get where to Op is coming from...
Remember back in the day used to listen to this album all the time.
Probably enjoy listening to RD more than Illmatic to be honest. Such a shame Jay's standards dropped, LOVED what he did on this album.

RD was a great album...with that being said Illmatic shyts on it in pretty much every way possible

The love affair with Nas Internet massages boards have is so bizarre
You would almost think has to be a deeper reason they praise Nas so much
