Reasonable Doubt vs. Illmatic vs. Ready To Die
« on: February 11, 2003, 08:38:27 AM »
As you all should know, what we have here is three classic mid 90's East Coast albums from possibly the three greatest East Coast rappers ever - Jay-Z, Nas & The Notorious B.I.G. I wanted to compare these three hip-hop classics to hear your opinion on them - and find out which is your favorite.

Which one is the best - and in what order would you put them?
Here's mine:

Illmatic > Reasonable Doubt > Ready To Die


Peace! Holla back.

Illmatic > Ready To Die > Reasonable Doubt

Illmatic takes this.  This is the rare flawless album, dope intro followed by 9 classics.

Just my personal preference. They're both stone cold classics - but I think RD is just slightly better. How about you?

Ready 2 Die
Illmatic
Reasonable Doubt

all of them were classic albums but for me Ready 2 Die was the better one i can still bump that album today without skipping a single track and enjoying the whole thing.

Ready to Die The Notorious B.I.G.
Reasonable doubt Jay-Z
Illmatic Nas

Just my personal choice....ImO

As far as spin's go, It's over for me....Nas has gotten better since then ImO, people need to understand that "Illmatic" is only considered classic cause his beat's were not what the sound was when his shitt dropped...the sound was G-funk, his lp went against the grain.
Although this lp will alway's remain in my top 20.
I just love the other 2 way more.

I'm not sure where you got that from, but it's just simply not true.

Illmatic takes it for me, just straight up brilliance, Nas ripping up the mic, and Primo, Pete Rock and co giving him pure dopeness on the beats front.

Then I would put Ready To Die in front of Reasonable Doubt, although I feel that all of these albums are classic.

illmatic
ready to die
reasonable doubt
I ain't little but vicious, guns no misses You feel me, kisses or wishes, fore I break you up like dishes Fuck your bosses, my forces, endorses To kill all your sources y'all niggas best be cautious No losses, my fortress, is Jaguars and Porsche's Ride the OTB to check my money on the horses My horrors is flawless, my block one of the broadest Off the main attraction for them whitey ass tourists That I tosses, it scorches, with out no remorses Leave they bloody body to be found in Mount Morris

Illmatic ! A classic straight outta Queensbridge! "Illmatic" is maybe the greatest hip hop album of all time!
