the beat is great though. you're the only one in this thread who thinks otherwise. i also think jay had better flow AND better lyrics, fukk all that apples and oranges bullshyt that's what nikkas say when they don't wanna admit their favorite rapper just isn't as good as the gawd mc
Reasonably Doubt is in my top five albums and without a doubt I prefer it (listened to it last night while riding my bike home after rock climbing at the gym 
) but I wouldn't say its necessarily better
but I also wouldn't say that about Illmatic

gotta love the jigga revisionist history. reasonable doubt sounds the way it sounds because of illmatic. Why you jigga revisionist never bring up him rapping like das efx before illmatic changed the game lyrically? Illmatic made a bunch of rappers go back to the drawing board.
Why the fukk are you derailing the thread dikkhead?
one post is derailing? Now you
. I told y'all 6 stans I'm on ya head 
. Bring up Drake in a real rap discussion and I'mma get at you, end of story Illmatic is better than RD, no debate. I think some folks enjoy RD more just because of the style. Hov was on that real fly, hustler, get money shyt on that album. Real aspirational music, like go out and be a businessman or u aint shyt. RD makes a nikka wanna hustle straight up
The best beat on RD is D'Evils. and not surprisingly is the best track on the entire album. (Though I'll let you slide with "Can I Live" or "Dead Presidents")
top 3 beats: D'Evils, Can't Knock The Hustle & Dead Presidents
4th man: Can I Live

Why the fukk are you derailing the thread dikkhead?
Because, in the words of @Kitsch , Drake keeps him up at night.
And this thread is representative of the hip hop community at large?
Besides, as you can see by my rep, I clearly don't give a fukk if my opinions go against the grain. I'm always interested in what others think. But I take what they say, and I how I feel, and make up my own mind.
I'm happy you think Jay-Z had better flow and lyrics. I prefer the flow and rhymes on Illmatic by quite a bit. But like I said, apples and oranges. Reasonable Doubt is better at that sharp hustler mentality. Illmatic is better at... well, everything else
I know nikkas that stop rhyming because of Illmatic
Straight up heard the album in 93/94 and said, "fukk this". Put the mic down.
yo @SirBiatch stop frontin like u some tried and true hip hop nikka that knows old heads and shyt. U from the UK and all that "hip hop knowledge and experience" you act like you have is a front. U a hip hop head and Asap Rocky is the one that impacted you the most???
U aint as bad as the 6stans but almost as bad B. U posted a video of yourself when u was hurt on some Joe Budden shyt. Real ones know u a fake hip hop fan and that's word.

I cant wait til it gets shoved down your throats next year for the 20th anniversary like Nas did with illmatic
Illmatic has been classic since it's debut...RD is a revisionist classic that Jigga begged for

Lets make RD #1, almost there. we can do this, the vote is close....we got this
You Coli fukks be weird ass fukk, no originality at all.
Yall some lames.
I need answers..
Politics As Usual just came up in my shuffle and my god
Illmatic is one of my fav's but Nas just wasn't on that fly shyt.. I'm a fly nikka so I relate more to Hov I guess
Ski has to be one of the most underrated producers from that era , son doesn't receive enough props , all the instrumentals he produced on RD just exudes elegance and fly shyt
His production on Camp Lo's album is just flawless , I'm gonna have to make a thread about him later of GP
