I mean serious 9 tracks that are all (besides 1) under 5 minutes long. It's 9 songs, not 15. I can take 9 Gucci Mane songs from some mixtapes (all made in the same year) and make a better album than Illmatic.... real talk!wow. i bump gucci mane but they are on two totally different levels. i can't stress enough how illmatic is classic. gucci mane hasn't made one classic album. fuck a mixtapei don't want to insult you like most of the people on here will probably do after reading this quote but god damn, you make it pretty easy.naw, niggaz just don't fuck wit everything people think is "classic"- look at how y'all think of me for example. im like the only person who even has a copy of Illmatic or who even remembers that album. niggaz still remember Doggystyle, but not IllmaticNobody remembers Illmatic? If you say so.maybe up North they still ride out 2 that shit but once you hit Maryland and all tha way to California that shit is dead. I'm tellin' u, Illmatic is like an old Parliment tape now, no lie. This isn't my opinion neither, just my observation and numerous encounters talking with people.

I just mean when people say illmatic is overrated etc...Its one thing to say you dont like the album, thats cool...i can understand people saying that but to questions its classic placement is another thing..same with albums like chronic etc...so while i think this is a dope thread...it borders on hating/dodgy comments coming from everywhere...thats all i was trying to say! pz!
Illmatic. Way too overrated. I mean serious 9 tracks that are all (besides 1) under 5 minutes long. It's 9 songs, not 15. I can take 9 Gucci Mane songs from some mixtapes (all made in the same year) and make a better album than Illmatic.... real talk!

A statement like this should make your opinion void on any future hip hop discussions.
