Post by: Don Jacob on December 19, 2001, 04:34:17 AM: lyrically Illmatic nuts all over ready to die

illmatic was near perfect and ready to die had some flaws

Post by: Siberian_Wolf on December 19, 2001, 05:35:39 AM: My vote goes to Ready To Die...... It just turned my mind 180 dgrs back then, and some tracks like Machine Gun Funk and Me & My Bitch still make my heart pump harder.

Post by: Don Seer on December 19, 2001, 06:20:55 AM: Damn.. this is sooo hard. I've been goin back and forth in my head for the the best part of this afternoon...

I think Ready To Die has more moments where you just think "god this is 'the shit'" (and like bigjake says has a few flaws as well.). nas is more consistent overall if not so brilliant in places ... sooo torn between the two.. but Ready To Die takes it - just!

Post by: infinite59 on December 19, 2001, 07:25:32 AM: Illmatic.. Illmatic is mentally stimulating... Ready to Die is real aggresive, and on point... but it doesn't elevate my mentals like Illmatic.
Title: Re: "ILLMATIC" VS "READY TO DIE"
Post by: topdogg187 on December 19, 2001, 12:22:14 PM: i think ready to die was way the fuck better then illmatic. i just don't like nas that much i think that he is way overrated and i haven't liked any of his albums after illmatic.
Title: Re: "ILLMATIC" VS "READY TO DIE"
Post by: ImmortalOne on December 19, 2001, 12:58:03 PM: I cant pick between these two.........it all depends on my mood. One minute I might like RTD better, the next I might like Illmatic better.
Title: Re: "ILLMATIC" VS "READY TO DIE"
Post by: Top-Dogg2001 on December 19, 2001, 02:50:40 PM: I like Illmatic better. Nas came better lyrically but ready to die's production was better.

actually, u know what...i guess u aint crazy and thats just your opinion, my bad cuz i know how beefs get started around her, but geeez, i think big represents what style is all about....the way he constructs his raps and uses his smooth ass voice...he spits some dope fuckin shit one of the best if not the best rhyme spitter ever...his delivery is the best ever in my opinion....and i dont understand how u say he is boring becuase he was one of the best substance rappers ever.
but i know i know, its all bout opinions... ;D

Post by: Hittman on December 22, 2001, 05:37:05 AM: Illmatic Is Amazing. Ready To Die Is Amazing. But Overall Illmatic Comes Off The Better. I Would Much Rather Give Up Chronic And Doggystyle Over Illmatic And Ready To Die. *Holds Head In Shame*
