Why Illmatic Is Overated ?

[Bacatit]

6 songs everything else on that record ****** !!!

There were only 10 song on the album that's 60%
That's including the introduction (song 1) LMAO !!!

Halftime = ******
Memory Lane = ******
One time 4 your mind = ******
Represent = cool

There were 6 classics on there that are timeless though !!!

He got away from his roots with It Was Written which was also overated. Even Nas admitted getting wrap in bull**** and letting go of his true self and YOU can hear it in the content.

It Was Written was made back when Hip Hip was on The Italian Mob's ****. Nas made a decent album but "it wasn't his style". What he is doing now with Damian is more his style rhyme wise.

DMX " It's Dark & Hell Is Hot" had more classics on it IMO !!!

[ny123]

no............

[Bacatit]

no............

Were those 4 songz classics ?

Do you listen to those ****s ?

Hoonestly, you've been told what is and what isn't


FACT:

When you listen to Illmatic, you listen to
1. N.Y State Of Mind
2.Who's World
3.One Love
4.It Ain't Hard To Tell
Nothin else but maybe the intro - True or False ?

Men Lie Women Lie......

How do those songs suck? The lyrical content in those 4 songs alone are light years beyond the accumulation of the skill 2Pac ever put in his entire catalog.

Commonly regarded as a perfect album short and to the point and generally regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time. You're welcome to your own opinion

Nobody listen to those songs and think these are some of the best songz ever. People listen because they are told this is the the model hip hop album.

1. The beats suck, the thing about classics is the music never fades
2. It doesn't matter the beat sucks lmao !!!

I intentionally didn't bring up Pac because most Nas fans are basing **** soley on NY hip hop, but you know Pacs catalog is dirtin anybodies.

I brought up it's Dark & Hell Is Hot because it's a better album ...

I could add
1. Twista = Addrenalin Rush 1994
2. The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick
3. The Chronic
5. Marshall Mathers
6. Scarface = Untouchable / The Diary
7. Biggie = Ready To Die
8. Big Pun = Capital Punishment
9. UGK = Ridin Dirty
10. 2pac = Me Against The World / Makaveli / All Eyes On Me
11. Bone = Creepin On Uh Come Up / 1999 Eternal
12. Outkast = Southernplayalisticaddilacmuzik / Aquemeni
13. Common = Finding Forever
14. Jay Z = Reasonable Dout / The Blueprint / The Black Album
15. Redman = Whut The Album ?
16. Mobb Deep = The Infamous
17. Jeezy = Thug Motivation 101
18. Snoop = Doggystyle
19. T.I = The King
20. Raekwon The Chef = Only Built 4 Cuban Links
21. Capone N Noreaga = The Reuion
22. 50 = Get Rich Or Die Tryin

Is Ali the best boxer ever ?



Exactly

[{Pito}]

Bottomline there is no FACT when it comes to personal preference. You're trying to get at me for stating that you are entitled to your own opinion? i dont get it.....was that supposed to teach me a lesson? My opinion is that Pac is overrated and your's is that Nas is overrated. No matter what I say you wont change your opinion and I wont change my opinion no matter what you say. That's that.

I love how you pretend to make two points, but they are exactly the same. You type and speak like an illiterate, close-minded teenager. You have no credibility. Are you ****ing serious? You mentioned some of the most commercial albums ever in comparison of Illmatic?




Before a blunt, I take out my fronts
Then I start to front, matter of fact, I be on a manhunt
You couldn't catch me in the streets without a ton of reefer
That's like Malcolm X, catchin the Jungle Fever
King poetic, too much flavor, I'm major
Atlanta ain't Brave-r, I'll pull a number like a pager
Cause I'm am ace when I face the bass
40-side is the place that is giving me grace
Now wait, another dose and you might be dead
And I'm a Nike head, I wear chains that excite the feds
And ain't a damn thing gonna change
I'ma performer (?) show the mic warmer was born to gain
Nas, why did you do it?
You know you got the mad fat fluid when you rhyme, it's halftime






I rap for listeners, blunt heads, fly ladies and prisoners
Hennessey holders and old school *****s, then I be dissin a unofficial that smoke woolie thai
I dropped out of Kooley High, gassed up by a cokehead cutie pie
Jungle survivor, **** who's the liver
My man put the battery in my back, a differencem from Energizer
Sentence begins indented with formality
My duration's infinite, moneywise or physiology
Poetry, that's a part of me, ******edly bop
I drop the ancient manifested hip-hop, straight off the block
I reminisce on park jams, my man was shot for his sheep coat
Chocolate blunts make me see him drop in my weed smoke
It's real, grew up in trife life, did times or white lines
The hype vice, murderous nighttimes, and knife fights invite crimes
Chill on the block with Cognac, hold strap
with my peeps that's into drug money, market into rap
No sign of the beast in the blue Chrysler, I guess that means peace
For *****s no sheisty vice to just snipe you
Start off the dice-rolling mats for craps to cee-lo
With sidebets, I roll a deuce, nothing below (peace God!)
Peace God -- now the **** is explained
I'm taking *****s on a trip straight through memory lane
It's like that you all it's like that you all it's like that you all

I'm 30 years old ***** I am hip hop, but I was around when the **** was goin down and Illmatic was not that big of a deal for that long.

I'm from Cleveland Oh so I don't care about the east or west **** even though I live in Vegas now.
I was reciting Nas rhymes on the school bus before you could walk.

Keep it real with yourself

DMX = It's Dark & Hell is Hot & Eminem Marshal Mathers are just two albums that are better than that 10 song album Nas put out when I was 13-14. Both albums had at LEAST 10 classic songs on them.
