fukk outta here. Lol. shyts is nothing alike. shyt is a spin off of The World Is Yours. Which PREDATES Sugar Hill.


Cut the chit.:camby:


Gateway album to NAS. Alotta people got introduced to Nas thru IWW. And loved it. And went back and checked Illmatic. Not saying nikkas in the streets ain’t have Illmatic don’t get it twisted. Cause nikkas did. But I’m saying that was alotta cats gateway to Nas. Especially outside of NYC.


My bad. I combined 2 different arguments.

I think this is a fair take.

I see a lot of super hot or super cold opinions on this album, and not many opinions in the middleground.

And I agree with @spliz it was my gateway album to Nas
Bro. Only person I ever seen in real life shyt on IWW was a straight up cornball. I was literally just talking to a few older head customers of mine about IWW not too long ago. They was talkin bout where they was when they copped it n all that.

album was half-hated in real-time

caught unfair hate by the purists, BUT even if you werent a purist, the album still wasnt neccessarily ALL THAT.

this revisionist push by nas stans & media acting like it was some sort of landmark, needs to stop.

its an ARGUABLE classic at best.

arguably classic better than non classic.
When ya mom’s sucked my dikk the nutt was barely even memorable.

but ya girls a$$hole was an arguable classic.. for ya weak ass city.

A real Nas fan wouldn’t say this :unimpressed:

I Am was a classic and so was Nastradamus. Even if u wanna argue Nastradamus wasn’t, it was a much better album than given credit for. People who shyt on it only do so because they heard other people do it.

If someone else dropped Nastradamus it would be called a classic but because people expected Nas to make Illmatic over and over again, they downplay all his albums after it.
Nastradamus was an incredibly disappointing album. The only more disappointing QB album was Infamy.
