finally bought illmatic
« on: November 20, 2005, 10:45:24 PM »
Ive been listening to hip hop for maybe 6 years, but only the last 3 or so have i really gotten into it. Started learnin about classic shit. Ive been hearin about illmatic for ever, and i finally got around to buyin it. I had no idea what to expect really, but i gotta say i was suprised. I thought it was gonna be like 2pacalypse now, not that that was bad, but no where near tupacs best. Illmatic was real sweet though, it reminds me of reasonable doubt cause its just all about the lyrics. Definetly gonna take over my cd player for awhile.

Listen to it for 48 hours straight and pay attention.  Then take a break...shower, eat, take a shit and do it again for another 48 hours.   ;D

"Illmatic" is not an album you're gonna get off top. Nas isnt an artist you're gonna get off top. It took me years of 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc chances to finally get into Nas/Illmatic. It was worth it though

Illmatic blows me away every time I bump it. The production and the lyrics are top notch. Plus, it's short length makes for an easy listen straight all the way. In my opinion, the shorter the albums the better. I'd rather have a 40 minute masterpiece than an 80 minute overload.
