**Insert Album Here** is better than Illmatic. It never fails, this happens every month.
nikkas never compare it to other great albums, just Illmatic. It seems like Illmatic is the standard that Hip-Hop fans use to gauge the greatness of other albums, no matter how different the sound is.
Illmatic is not even my favorite album, but if someone asked me what the greatest hip-hop album is I would say Illmatic cuz the shyts floating on everybodies list, and if it's not the person is tryna prove why it shouldn't be on other peoples list
(not saying this is you OP)
