illmatic: lyrical masterpiece or fraud?

[The Ruler 09]

Illmatic is better than any Lupe album, infact Nas has numerous albums better than any Lupe album.

Even Lupe would attest to this as a HUGE Nas fan as evidenced here...

I was like yeah, shorty don't care, she a snake too
fukking with the nikkas from that fake crew that hate you
But yo, guess who got shot in the dome-piece?
Jerome's niece, on her way home from Jones Beach - it's bugged
Plus little Rob is selling drugs on the dime
Hangin out with young thugs that all carry 9's
At night time there's more trife than ever
What's up with Cormega, did you see 'em, are y'all together?
If so then hold the fort down, represent to the fullest
Say what's up to Herb, Ice and Bullet


>>>>>museums and farting, condoms on the ground

In the 1st fukcin bar we get probably one of the corniest moments EVER laid on a beat

Rappers I monkey flip 'em with the funky rhythm I be kickin

what funky rhythm nicca? who have you "monkey flipped?" this shyt is a straight throw away...

You gotta slide on a vacation
Inside information keeps large nikkaz erasin and they wives basin
It drops deep as it does in my breath
I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death
Beyond the walls of intelligence, life is defined
I think of crime when I'm in a New York state of mind

and of course what a garbage way to end a garbage verse. WTF is this nicca ramblin on about? Fukc is this nicca talkin about a vacation for? this is all incoherent word salad. All of it is of little to no value...

1 verse in and we have nothing but incoherent trash ramblings

i know i'm gonna get negged for bringing this back, but this shyt has me

 

[Big Mel]

I see weed paraphernalia and a weed plate... all you need is some music... you from The Go, sadly, so I suggest some Do or Die

You really think this is lyrically nice? Really? You dont think I could find more lyrically nice bars in one verse off of Reasonable Doubt?

Then do it b. let's see how these "lyrically nice" bars from RD stack up against Illmatic.

Jay always had tracks that were heavy on wordplay... just not a whole albums worth... it doesnt sell and idiots think shyt like "I ran like a cheetah" is more impressive. I wouldnt do it either
