*Vote on the New Poll!!!*- The Chronic vs. Illmatic

[E. J. Rizo]

The reason more people bump "The Chronic" is because it's basically a party album; you can turn off your brain and just have fun.  "Illmatic" is conscious and intelligent.  So the logical conclusion is that the people who prefer "Illmatic" are smarter than the people who prefer "The Chronic".

so in that same conclusion "people that bump the chronic get more pussy than people that bump illmatic"

shit that is a hard one.......to me i only got into Hip-Hop in like 1998 so both these albums only got bought in like 2002......same time actually......

Illmatic

PROS:
the first time i listened to Illmatic i was WHOA!!! not one single song deemed skipable - from Genesis - It Aint Hard 2 Tell.....fuckin classic.....one of the first albums i was able to listen to and not skip anything.....New York Hip-Hop at its finest

CONS:
lets face it no one is going to be "getting down" to illmatic......the album has that same grimey feel throughout

The Chronic

PROS
The Chronic however seemed the more fun album.....songs that u can get down to (G Thnag) and songs with political ideals (they day the niggaz took over) .......it was a thoro album that covered all bases......West Coast Hip-Hop at its finest

CONS
the skits are very skipable (Doctors Office) for that reason you cant really leave this album blarin you'll always have to go back and skip....

To me this question is simply that age old question....East v West whos better???

for me - Illmatic 12 stars out 10, The Chronic 11 out of 10

I use my brain all day at work; damn right I wanna switch it off from time to time and listen to The Chronic.

For me, it ain't like Illmatic is super-complex that you need a metaphysics degree to appreciate it; it's just about being in the mood to listen to it, and that's about once or twice a year.

i can listen to illmatic non stop.  Im ashamed to play the chronic now.  The whole album is about how they are these super gang bangers.  Im growing up and i need something with substance, something the chronic doesnt have.

[PLANT]

  Im growing up and i need something with substance

LOL you should stop listening to Rap music if thats what your looking for.......Im doubting that a Nas album over a decade old now is going to bring subtance to your life in any way........But hey, to each his own man

[No Compute]

I'd have to go with The Chronic for the simple fact I get more enjoyment out of listening to it than I do with Illmatic.

[1980DRE]

Illmatic is a dope album... BUT!!!! I don't remember any parties bumpin' it as much as The Chronic....

because illmatic isnt a party album and wasnt meant to be a party album
