People unfairly hate on Nas' It Was Written..........
teecee:
Exactly what Tom Gotti said..........yes, it is alot of peoples favourite Nas album but it has always been more fashionable to say Illmatic. Only now have people opened their ears up and really started to check how dope IWW is..........i would go so far as to say its 5/5, or at least it is to me personally.

be honest if nas never dropped illmatic i seriously think this album would be rated a 5/5. every song on the album is a banger. Not one track you have to skip over.

I hated this album when it first came out. I guess I was expecting every song to sound like that first single that dropped (If I Ruled The World). Well, after listening to Stillmatic and hearing some of the deep stuff he was spitting on there, I decided to pull out the album and blow all the dust off of it. After listening to it again, I can't believe how young and naive I used to be. It's definitely a great album and it's better than the so-called classic Illmatic. 4/5
teecee:
I dont know if its better than Illmatic, it is just completely different. Its too hard to compare, one was straight authentic hiphop, one was a rap/pop masterpiece. You may still be young and naive Strider, because Illmatic is a classic. Sure it sounds a little dated, but it is truly dope, it just takes awhile to see that.........as for IWW, its at least 4.5/5, and Tom Gotti is right, it probably is 5/5.......

you can't call it rap/pop just because lauryn hill was on one single...the rest of it was just as street as illmatic and wasnt even very different from illmatic.
