Tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of 'Stillmatic'

[Kliq_Souf]

Album changed my life at 11. Made me look at shyt different.
True classic
Respect to the god.

 

[Cladyclad]

Not a classic

I remember copping Stillmatic wutang Iron flag and Mobb deeps Infamy on bootleg at Bills flea market right before Christmas 2001...still the best Christmas cause they are my big 3 to this day...all of them hold a place in my heart lol

Just wanted to say my piece about this. The album that made me the hip hop head I am today, and one of the new 2nd generation/wave of Nas fans.

20 years (and 4 days). WOW

Still got the retail version without Braveheart Party. This personal classic is much appreciated.

I know Rule is not loved by everyone, but I call that classic alone off the fact it's the debut of bae Amerie

Was that also the last track he did with Trackmasters?

I always thought Rule was fire. Nas was coastin over that "Everybody wants to rule the world" sample. His flow, delivery and mic presence was crisp on that.

I still remember getting chills listening to "Rule" for the first time. I think the leaked version slightly differed from the album version. That "move over Colin Powell or just throw in the towel" line was something else. R.I.P. to Colin Powell, but when Colin resigned during the Bush Administration, I was like .

Life is nothin without struggle listen up it's critical
We used to bear arms now the weapons are chemical
In hip-hop the weapons are lyrical
To be the best you challenge the best and the blessings are spiritual

I don’t play it now but at the time track was fire to me. Seemed very poignant coming out right after 9/11

These are the joints that did it for me from this album and I still go back to them regularly.

You're right. This song does really well live but for some reason its not one I enjoy when I'm listening on my headphones.
