Nas re-releasing Illmatic 20th year anniversary - "Illmatic XX" & "Time Is Illmatic" Documentary

[the cac mamba]

Ok, we have a bunch of Nas news today, so pay attention. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of Illmatic, so you already know this is going to be a major talking point for the next several months, or at the very least until theReady To Die anniversary rolls around in September. In celebration of the 2 decade anniversary of his seminal debut LP, Mr. Jones is dropping a new reissue called Illmatic XX which will be a double-disc LP with a completely remastered edition of the album as well as several rarities and remixes.

You can stream one of those remixes here right now.

In addition to the April 15th album release, Nasir will also be releasing Time Is Illmatic, a feature length documentary examining the classic debut from producers One9 and Erik Parker.

Finally, Nas will kick off a national tour this Spring with performances at the John F. Kennedy Center and Coachella. Throughout the tour, the details of which will be available soon, he will perform Illmatic in its entirety.

But there’s one more thing: At the Hennessy Super Bowl Party the other night, Nas told Complex that he hopes to drop “Sinatra In The Sands”, his collaboration with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z, within the next 6 months.

Pre-order Illmatic XX here or here.

How they gonna re-release an album with half the original tracks missing

Half of the tracklist is Aint Hard To Tell and One Love

I could see if that was the bonus

Yeah, those would be the bonus tracks. I am surprised that the 10th anniversary shyt isn't on there though.

Not sure whether I'll be buying the LP version or not.

The question is will the Tip Remix be clean or dirty? And hopefully
It's remastered well

is it me or this is almost the same tracklist as the from illmatic to stillmatic remixes? except the i'm a vilain and q tip remix hopefully in dirty cdq, there's not too much to eat. I would've expect more unrealeased stuff from the illmatic era than simple remixes (I've just listen the stink mix and it's average)
