    This album was the prelude to a genius

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 21, 2006

    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 most 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....

    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. Illmatic 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".

    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.

    Definite classic

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 30, 2002

    Considered a classic and it is. The lyrics and production are fuckin awesome. Nas spits shit like no other artist and Illmatic is real proof of that. And to think that he did it all in forty minutes. Also paved the way for other rappers. Pick this shit up.

    This is one of the best rap/hip-hop albums ever.Illmatic is the type of album that could
    come out now and have more impact on music in general than in 94'.Large Professor deserves mad props too.
