Ready To Die Vs. Illmatic

[topdogg187]

which classic do y'all prefer? i think that R2D is a better album the illmatic is and biggie is a better rapper then nas. IMO biggies album is a really dope album top 5 of all time because biggie shows off his lyrical skills and paints perfect pictures in ur mind of what he was goin through and uu can see that on songs such as warning, things done changed, but then he comes right back and hits you wit upbeat songs liek juicy and big poppa, i just love the diversity of the album. Illmatic is an undeniable classic butt lacks the diversity to the album and nas' flow is no match for biggies, so all in all Ready To Die beats Illmatic hands down IMO.

When you stack them up Track for track....Biggie has "Illmatic" shutdown.

Try it yourself......track for track.

Heartfelt ish...
Crazy wild out tracks...

a well rounded Lp....Ready to die.

"Illmatic" can't stand up to "Ready to die"

illmatic is a good album...i cant say its not...but its very overrated...everyone follows the hype of the source and others who believe illmatic is the best album ever....though they wont admit it....if u think about it...ready 2 die is much more memorable than illmatic...really illmatic couldve never exsisted and i wouldnt have cared or noticed a difference....many people state that raedy 2 die influenced them...if that album wasnt around i could notice a difference...now neither biggie or nas are goats...sure biggie is a big staple in the rap game but nas...hes just another face...he will be left in the shadows kinda like mc shan....

ILLMATIC

[=[Euthanasia]=]

"Illmatic". I feel it's possibly the nearest album to hip-hop perfection, ever. It had the content, the beats, the rhymes, it's just amazing. It's classic in every sense of the word.
