Stillmatic is one of the greatest albums ever made

[TheJet]

Look at the fukkin way he rhymes on every ghetto..."she know what daddy taught her his lessons" ...the a couple more bars and then be rhymes jealous with and spits some incredible imagery

[mobbinfms]

[UpAndComing]

Not even top 100

Hey, That's uncalled for. He's top 80

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Hey, That's uncalled for. He's top 80

120 tops

 

[Jim Cornette]

disrespectful...

at least top 20.

 

[C-Styles]

I can see why someone would say that it's better than Illmatic

If he did include the song he did on the "you don't know my name" beat.... the world was just not ready for the over PIFF

son left "Braveheart party" on purpose cuz it wouldn't be fair for the rest of the world

 

[Killigraphy]

Yeah but after Still....he fell off horribly. God's Son was good, but he wasn't going to go anywhere with Kanye looming in the back, and then blowing up with Graduation.

 

[UpAndComing]

Was listening to Ether 5 times today

 

[UpAndComing]

Ether day almost here

 

[Waterproof]

Burner to the side of your dome, come out of my Throne

 

[Tres Leches]

My stillmatic album came with no ideas original

 

[Zero]

If served mega and pee then what is this smh



P snapped on the opening verse then Mega broke nas dwn like he was nothing.

Whose tale you tellin'? Are you frail or felon?
Were you makin' sales or watchin' nikkas sellin'?
You exploit nikkas lives in your rhymes and then avoid 'em
You never felt the moisture in the air over coke boilin'
You never felt the razor scrapin' your plate
Your hands achin' yet you keep choppin' cause there's paper to make
You never felt the power of invincibility
Clutchin' a gun like, fukk it dun, it's him or me
At your best you was a hand-to-hand
No more than three grams
What the fukk you know about a ki', man?
You never hustled
Lets get it right, my nikka Y would've stuck you
Stop dry snitchin' in your rhymes, listen
What you tryin' to do? Help the guys in blue?

Stop dry snitchin' in your rhymes, listen
What you tryin' to do? Help the guys in blue?
Indict nikkas so that can be another rhyme for you?



You a parasite, you never had a life
So you throw other nikkas lives in your pad at night
It's clever when you write it
Spoken well for a dude who never been indicted
You know the deal mothafukka, the real make the fake nikkas kneel


You minor league
I'm big time like Mark McGwire's team
Your whole team is p*ssy, when I squeeze, vaginas bleed:pee106:

This whole joint was RAW. From the lyrics to the beat.

 

[prophecypro]

You know this album doesnt seem to get the love it did at the time
But damn if this joint didnt get love by rap fans and street dudes in the early 00s not just in NY but globally. Not mainstream pop but rap fans and sure it was fueled by the battle but it had joints that kinda reintroduced them to Nas and solidified his stanbase and legends status

Like this was the joint again that got even people outside of NY even showing him love


Good times

Coincidentally I've been playing Stillmatic and The Blueprint back to back this weak and wanted to make a thread attacking the false narrative on this site that Stillmatic is superior to The Blueprint lyrically/writing wise, especially after the atrocious latter half.
Maybe I'll get on that.

Acting as though Stillmatic is better than Illmatic is just disgraceful.
