"It Was Written" Is Definitely The Most Overrated/Underrated Rap Album

[spliz]

The whole narrative mainly comes from new york. They ain't basing it off of just Philly. LOL.

And ur switching up. Before you claimed everybody loved it and you never met anybody who hated it. Lol.

I never met anyone that hated it aside from a few people. And I said that in this very thread. Only people I ever met that hated on it was corny nikkas.

He never surpassed rakim.

All rappers got disected once they reached a certain level. You were only as good as your last record.

Never surpassed him as what? Lol

Its a 9.5 out of 10 album for me. Not perfect but still an undeniable classic.

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.

This was my gateway album as well because all my cousins had this album when I was a kid but none of them had Illmatic for some reason. Although illmatic is one of my top 5 goat albums and I don’t think iww is as good. I think it is nas second best album by real far and a great album. I’ll say for me personally it’s a 4 mic or 4.5 mic album

One of the songs I nvr liked on this album was if I ruled the world

Those are usually people who probably never bothered to listen to anything else or fell into group think. There's even greatness on Nas's worst albums.

That’s literally what I said! There’s no way you can say that if you heard project Windows, Nas is like, ny state of mind 2, undying love, I could go on

I really don’t understand it man.
I really don’t

This isn’t even dissection. This is ignorance. I mean the goofy nikka didn’t even list Stillmatic. Let alone other shyt.

Bro just like others in here said It was written was their gateway to Nas, Stillmatic was mine and I know for a fact it was for a lot of people my age also

Yup. These types of opinions don't matter at all.

Only corny nikkas didn't like it now?

So basically you weren't really outside like that yet? Or you're just lying for nas.

I got people in New York BTW. Queens on particular.

How did he surpass rakim? Outside of the benefits of being more modern.

I grew up in MD/DC and when it came out it was everywhere out here. People loved it.
