Here's how this works...what were you doing at 19? Does it compare to what Nas did in '94? Were you even capable of creating something like illmatic? Now, you can give the nikka his props and keep it moving.
I wouldn't be able to create something like Illmatic at 19 29 or 39 and it's probably as unlikely at any of those ages. I mean Nas dropped it at 19 and haven't made anything close to being better since then.

I get what the thread starter is saying, but teen years is something special imo. So illmatic is specially but ages like 22-25 is nothing special imo, there's probably more classics made by people in that age than people in their 30s in hiphop, rock and pop.

Of course it's impressive. Most people that are 19 years old do dumb shyt, don't care about anything. If you put that into perspective that Nas made such a mature, conscious, lyrical album as Illmatic, that is impressive af

The OP has a point. It's impressive bad made illmatic period.... Not particularly impressive he made it at that age... It was pretty typical for rappers to hit there peak from 20-23 and fall of by the time they hit 25...
