IllmaticBoth in my top 5
But Illmatic is definition of hiphop to me
I wouldnt be surprised if ? wins tho because on this board i be seeing people tryn say IWW is better which is crazy to me -
?That was easy...

Sorry I don't worship Nas second best album the way 90% of this board does -
IllmaticSometimes the popular consensus is just right. After something is called the greatest for a while there always a little backlash... some people who say "nah it ain't that great" but IMO it's raps holy grail and the purest 9 hip hop songs ever put out. I've felt that way since the first time I heard it and still do.it's the GOAT

IllmaticThis ain't over yet? Doggstyle is cool but the GOAT album?

?2 different albums I'm biased because G-Funk is my fav style of rap so I'm rolling with Snoop but I can't deny the impact of Illmatic
-
IllmaticI like Illmatic slightly more.
-
IllmaticSo both Snoop & Nas were 21yrs old when they dropped these.
Just to show how dope Nas is, by the time he was 29 he already put out Illmatic, IWW, I Am, Lost Tapes, Stillmatic, & Gods Son
...just to compare Kendrick is 28... JCole is 30 -

GFunk is my favorite to but i cant deny Illmatic.
And i grew up on mostly west coast & texas rap -
?Gotta roll with Snoop right here
-
?? doesn't sound hella out dated like illmatic which is crazy bc it came out a year before, track for track better songs and isn't just headphone backpack music, you can bump ? for any occasion like a Party,BBQ,Wedding,Funerals ect and have that ? jumpin...
? hands down..... -
IllmaticLove both albums but there's about 2 or 3 tracks I'd normally skip on ? . I can listen to Illmatic all the way through, every listen.
-
IllmaticThats a hard one there Gin and Juice better than every song on illmatic but illmatic the better album. ? a classic
-
IllmaticIllmatic.....
Close call tho...... -
?Only reason I picked ? is cause you cant play Illmatic at a party. You can play ? anywhere at anytime.

IllmaticIllmatic is to hip hop what the bible is to Christians and what the holy quran is to Muslims. It's the best album that ever was made in all music categories. It's the best album ever made. Still get goosebumps to this day while listen to Illmatic.
