i think this is a problem man, n!ggas won't allow anything to be better than Illmatic. that sucks for nas, ha

No it doesn't suck for him, he has made incredible music since illmatic, but the album itself is a masterpiece.

And I think Illmatic is one of the greatest albums of all time, but Nas has the best catalog in rap to me. Retail and unreleased.

Better than Illmatic? I wouldn't even say it's better than Untitled.

This shyt is getting laughably out of hand.

Son, you basically just asserted that Life is Good may be the greatest rap album of all time.
.

and it absolutely can't be because it's new and only old sh!t can be held in that regard, right?

i don't subscribe to that school of programmed thinking. Life Is Good is like 10x better than Untitled, to me.

I used to get shytted on all the time before I moved to Texas for saying I thought illmatic is overrated. I think its good, hell even great. But I think I probvably personally enjoyed Stillmatic more.

As far as Life is Good, damn let soak it in. It just dropped yesterday.

Sounds dope so far, I got to listen to about 8 songs on the way to work this morning but I won't be able to start to comparing to other CDs until a couple of weeks.

The whole time capsule thing is wack to me. If I think an album is incredible I don't have to wait years to give it props. I'll do it now. If I'm wrong, I'm just wrong. I feel like fans are always afraid of being on the wrong side of history.
