He lost his rhyme book on the train to the studio or leaving the studio.....so he had to re-do them, which probably turned out for the better because them shyts on Illmatic are damn near flawless, b

:ahh:

The original Illmatic got leaked on the streets early, that's 1 of the reasons sales didn't meet expectations

This. I read he had to do a lot of Illmatic from memory or rewrite it. Something to that affect

I thought the myth was the album was bootlegged prior to release meaning the actual album was bootlegged “found 40k copies in a garage in wueens” or some shyt.

Which is the excuse why it didnt sell. Nas stan reason anyway.
This

They were planning to add more tracks but the bootleging made them stop after the first 9 tracks leaked
