no but its hilarious how this is the go-to thing for everyone of em but they can't even defend it. Troll thread would be a good excuse if they straight up ignored it but they still took time and replied and they are shytty responses

cam's my favorite, i think nas is the best rapper and jay is the best artist and i shyt on all of them. Thats how I always roll aint switchin my style up like a fakkit don't get it twisted :manny:

This poor soul has too much time on his hands. *Monkey flips out of this thread*

the initial post addressed this... I dont got shyt to do for a few more hours... :yeshrug: but listenin to this 39 minute album is taxing... shyts takin its toll


I'm the young city bandit, hold myself down singlehanded
For murder raps, I kick my thoughts alone, get remanded
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
I'm deep by sound alone, caved inside in a thousand miles from home


what is this 2nd line talkin about? What for murder raps? what is 'remanded' in this instance, nicca not even talkin about court... crews keep crowns/thrones? Ya not deep nicca, in the flesh or sound, ya shyt is as opposite of deep as there is. And again WTF are you talkin bout bein caved inside? Ya not makin sense.

I need a new nikka, for this black cloud to follow
Cause while it's over me it's too dark to see tomorrow


not bad :ohhh: :ehh:

Trying to maintain, I flip, fill the clip to the tip
Picturin my peeps, now the income make my heartbeat skip
And I'm amped up, they locked the champ up, even my brain's in handcuffs
Headed for Indiana stabbin women like the Phantom


now we back to the bullshyt... how did we get to gun talk from the black cloud? How did we get to his "peeps", the income? WTF are you talkin about naS? WTF is this verse about? What champ got locked up? Yes, your brain is in cuffs, but is it lyrical? how did we get to goin to Indiana and stabbin betches? You everywhere on this one naS, but saying nothin.

The crew is lampin big Willie style
Check the chip toothed smile, plus I profile wild
Stash through the flock wools, burnin dollars to light my stove
Walk the blocks wit a bop, checkin Danes plus the games
people play, bust the problems of the world today


more non lyrical garbage... nicca just stringin words together...

Are there any good songs on illmatic?

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...

Musician, inflictin composition
of pain I'm like Scarface sniffin cocaine
Holdin a M-16, see with the pen I'm extreme, now
Bulletholes left in my peepholes


The fukc are you talkin about nicca? this is some incoherent bullshyt. How do you inflict composition of pain? Shyt doesnt make sense b. He might be like Scarface sniffin coke though... but is it dope or even well written? Not even close.

I'm suited up in street clothes
Hand me a nine and I'll defeat foes
Y'all know my steelo with or without the airplay
I keep some E&J, sittin bent up in the stairway
Or either on the corner bettin Grants with the celo champs


Are you suited OR are you in street clothes? Make up your mind dumb ass. Hand you a nine and you'll defeat foes? :laff: sounds like youre just sayin anything to rhyme actually... "hand me a beat i'll put words together just to match" shoulda been his lyrics. So whether or not they play him on the radio he keeps Erk in the stairway? more incoherent rhymes.

Laughin at baseheads, tryin to sell some broken amps
G-Packs get off quick, forever nikkaz talk shyt
Remeniscing about the last time the Task Force flipped


This is lyrical to you dumb asses? More incoherent rhymes. All throw aways by the way.

nikkaz be runnin through the block shootin
Time to start the revolution, catch a body head for Houston
Once they caught us off guard, the Mac-10 was in the grass and
I ran like a cheetah with thoughts of an assassin


nicca WTF are you talkin about, really?

Pick the Mac up, told brothers, "Back up," the Mac spit
Lead was hittin nikkaz one ran, I made him backflip
Heard a few chicks scream my arm shook, couldn't look
Gave another squeeze heard it click yo, my shyt is stuck
Try to cock it, it wouldn't shoot now I'm in danger
Finally pulled it back and saw three bullets caught up in the chamber


how did this nicca magically appear in this situation? and this nicca is just ramblin on about nothin... we several bars in and this nicca has said anything lyrical or written anything noteworthy.

So now I'm jetting to the building lobby
and it was filled with children probably couldn't see as high as I be

best thing I can say about this was it flowed, but does it make sense? Was it or was it not filled with children... nicca through probably in there just to rhyme, nothing about it is lyrical nor does it add to the story.

(So whatchu sayin?) It's like the game ain't the same
Got younger nikkaz pullin the triggers bringing fame to they name
and claim some corners, crews without guns are goners
In broad daylight, stickup kids, they run up on us
Fo'-fives and gauges, Macs in fact
Same nikkaz'll catch a back to back, snatchin yo' cracks in black


:trash:

There was a snitch on the block gettin nikkaz knocked
So hold your stash until the coke price drop
I know this crackhead, who said she gotta smoke nice rock
And if it's good she'll bring ya customers in measuring pots, but yo
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

:huhldup: u need to find yourself a girl...or a job...aint no1 tryna read 6 paragraphs on some BS


go take a walk outside or somethin man


fukkin jay stans man lol :childplease:

The album is overrated

It has internet hype and a co-sign from some Asians who worked at the Source

Go outside and there's no talk about this album

It's a dated sounding album and the lyrics aren't that impressive

This album is a perfect example of group think
