Pros: Didn't have one song on it that you can dance to

Cons: Wish it was more than 10 joints

If you say you are in to hip-hop and you don't have this album, You are an @$$hole...simple and plain...This is one of the most legendary compositions ever put together in rap history.... This album has got to be on the top of the list for tape m...ost borrowed by a "friend" and never returned... Or somehow it comes up mysteriously missing after having a few friends over for beers...Matter fact, I think my mom even got me for this album.... Read more Less

One of the Dopest Albums of All Time

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 28, 2006

Pros: Lyrics at its best.

Cons: Not enough cuts.

I am a huge Nas fan (even thru his commercialism). He an artist that you can feel thru his words and this album was grimey and fresh. If you don't have it in your rep, then your collection sucks...haha!!

Nas- Illmatic

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 27, 2006

Pros: High replay value

Cons: LP didn't have enough songs

The early 90's marked an era of music that we will probably never experience again. Classic albums were dropped left and right and this was no exception. Nas' vivid imigination and lyrics makes every word he says visible to the listener. Illm...atic was made at a time where intelligence was accepted in hip-hop with standout songs such as "The World is Yours" and "Life's A B*tch". Read more Less

the greatest

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 25, 2003

EVERY LYRIC ON THE CD WAS DEEP AND THE MODERN POETRY OF NAS WAS IMPECCABLE. THE GREATEST AND MOST THOUGHR-PROVOKING CD OF THE 20TH CENTURY. THE WITTY WORD PLAY GIVES US SMALL GLANCE AT QUEENSBRIDGE 1994.

illmatic=Best CD by Nas

By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 16, 2003

This album is the best one put out by Nas. This album shows the hard put together lyrics by Nas. The lyrics and the music is vicious. Illmatic beats Reasonable Doubt
