LIG = Illmatic

 

[Danie84]

After Over 60 straight listens to this CD(not including CD spins), it's officially my favorite Album of all time, any genre any artist

Most played song Roses with 95

(Numbers from itunes and zune)

According to my Itunes Rose has 28 spins and Cherry Wine is at 25.

Life Is Good.

In theory it might be better than Stillmatic but that album had such impact for him. So did this, but Stillmatic just fel like an event .

I guess it kinda proves the theor that replay value and such is a matter of hype, because LiG should be more recognized.

 

[Cap. Scarlet]

Sometimes I sit on the bench just to watch the game
Feet on cement, there ain't a mobster living I could name
Who made it out rich, in his absence I do not proclaim
To not have a heart like wild animals not tamed
Maybe just a typical thug nikka was my rank
'Cept I had a vision above nikkas, what I think
It's crazy how many brothers come where I come from
Some made it out big, some dead, some unsung
Shots for soldiers on 23 hours lock-up
Younger generation, they want to mimic and mock us
Laughing, separating themselves like they not us, like
"Cops'll look at you like they look at me? That's preposterous"
Ain't it gangsta how your man made it? I'm humble
One gun, one crazy ass nikka, that's Jungle
Now we having babies, cause growing up it was just us
No uncles or cousins to fight with us, we was fukked up

Nas just loss his mind on that track. Everytime I listen to it, I'm like, "Damn he was spitting." I seriously dont want the song to go off. Everything about that song is perfect.

 

[L. Deezy]

LIG aint better than Stillmatic..

stop with the craziness. LIG is a great album that all Nas fans should enjoy after the long wait..

But Stillmatic was so much more important. Dude career was on the line basically. I wont forget the feeling I had when I popped in the CD (didnt listen to the leak) and that Stillmatic Intro hit..

LIG didnt give me that feeling like that.

 

[Danie84]

I can't co-sign.

Stillmatic was just so

Nas was literally was an afterthought (not to me of course), during that time was blathering about having the crown.

Stillmatic came through and http://gifsoup.com/

Stillmatic restored everything Nas had build since his first verse on Live at the BBQ, and cemented his GOAT status.

I was 17 when Ether dropped and the remnants still burns the soul. :

Standing in the hallway wanting to ask John Mayer how he feels about NAS "Daughters".

Tina Farris ‏@TinaFarrisTours

So I asked and he says he spoke to NAS & told NAS he was worried about his version cuz Pearl Jam did one in 95. I love real musicians.

Tina Farris ‏@TinaFarrisTours

he said "NAS is the artists artist" and then we salivated over how right the album is.

 

[H.S.]

Yeah, LIG has moved up to my favorite Nas album after IWW. It's that good.

 

[Reggie]

The reason people think Stillmatic is better is becaus Nas shocked the world when it came out. Most people thought he was finished. Crazy that they would think a 28 year old Nas would be through. But in time i think people will say LIG is overall the better all around album.

 

[Big Mark]

I have to go with LIG although, Stillmatic was a clutch type of album when Nas needed it.

 

[Never Broke Again]

so is bye baby a single or whats going on here
