I never thought about that. But being from the south, you might have a point.
I know illmatic had the allstars of allstars on production like preme, pete rock, premier.......But I swear this shyt sound so nice in the car bro.
You have to remember we were listening to the music in our cars. We responded more to a sound that knocked in the whip. I can see why Illmatic may be a favorite if you are listening to it in your Walkman riding on a subway.
Yeah, I remember playing It Ain't Hard To Tell and my homie was making fun of the "yeah" scream in the background of the hook or whatever.
He straight looked at me and was like "you really like this!?
"If I Ruled The World and the rest of the album, I heard getting played all over where I was. Not a lot... but everywhere.

That’s why Biggie sold 2 mil out the gate when Nas, Mobb and Wu were barely going gold.
Puffy was more worldly, for example he directed OutKast first video. He knew the sound had to appeal to markets outside of the tristate area.
Half your posts are about Nas...
Pretty much this

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
Somebody said that It Was Written was too dark. That's funny, because people thought the production was too clean, so which is it? 
If Illmatic isn't Nas' best album, then it has to be It Was Written. I would say that Illmatic is a 5/5 while It Was Written is like a 4.85/5 at the most, but Nas was perfect on IWW. Straight up lyrical perfection on that album.

Ask G Rap. He feels the same way.

I can see why, the G Rap influence is more prevalent. But I'm talking about lyrical depth, the writing, etc. Of course G Rap prefers the flows and subject matter on IWW...that's what he's been rapping about for nearly his entire career. Both are classic and dope. But the words, ideas, and emotions behind Illmatic are better IMO, and to most people I'd imagine.

I vote for IWW. Just wish it was as short and concise as Illmatic so it would get the recognition it deserves. If it were tightened up, itd be universally accepted as better or just as good as Illmatic 
Nah it’s not man lol. It’s a legit debate for real.

shyt I made a thread about it years ago. And I ain’t the only one. I think folks got older and listened different. It’s a GOOD problem to have if you’re Nas.
