This is the best rap album hands down

THANK YOU, NAS AND PREEMO....FOR EVERYTHING.

One of those underrated tracks which deserves its due diligence and high praise

STILL CLASSIC!!!🔥

Illimatic changed my Life

I was four when this dropped i remember living in new york and my dad blasting this tape in the living room memories ❤

Love how Mobb Deep and Milkbone sampled from AZ's verse almost immediately.

Best intro ever, best guests, best beats, best lyricism. This is the best album in hip-hop history ever. Aint no one ever touching the glory like Nas did with Illmatic.

Easily the best flow I have ever heard from a rapper

888

Please put this version on DSPs cuz the shit on Apple Music sound nothing like this saxophone sample sounds like night and day

Thinking of the word to best describe my life, to name my daughter .... My daughter name is loyalty!!!

it's 2024 and this is my first time listening to the album

2024

Overrated

Nas you the breath of hip hop my nigga

Immaculate art

First time listening to the whole album and in order I’ve only really listened to life’s a bitch so let’s go

This was originally AZ song. It’s dope how the collaborate on joints and never beef over it.

From a white boy here is My mt Rushmore of rap albums.. I’m putting 5 on here but here it goes #5 mobb deep the infamous, imo the most underrated album of all time #4 wu tang clan 36 chambers #3 life after death biggie smalls #2 all eyes on me Tupac shakur #1 it’s illmatic by Nas and I think most who know rap would agree with this top spot..

Nas seems a lot more well read than Tupac or Jay-Z. Nas looks at a much bigger picture (than most people-myself included. Which is why I listen to Nas-to learn (and burn.) No one else that I can think of (in any genre) would reference Thomas Hobbes Leviathan (which has us all wrapped up.) Nas channeled 1651 to 1994 through music. Who else has done that? It’s all God. That’s what Nas is about-God. Finding God (Both outside and inside of yourself and the world.)

CONGRATS NAS FOR THIS BEING THE BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME. WE ALL KNEW THIS YEARS AGO THOU. SHOUT OUT WHO BOUGHT THE TAPE CASSETTE.

This was his best rap

God bless everyone here. I love yall

My favorite rap song

The way Nas ends his final verse and lets the beat ride out at the end gives me chills every time. The perfect ending to arguably the greatest rap album of all time 💯💯🔥

One for the money, two for pussy and foreign cars, three for Alizé, niggas deceased or behind bars” DAMN

Should i get This Tpab Or igor

This might be my favorite Nas song.

I usually don’t listen to hiphop. But this is just awesome. It’s not an album. It’s a documentary.

Im here listening this album for the first time. Heard one of the greatest album.

🔥💣

Oh shit hope you appreciate it I remembered my first time. Ever since I will never front on Nas again.

Criminal minds season 8 episode 22, Dr Reed talking about illmatic

Here for Dr Reed of the b.a.u

Still 🔥

7th grade when this dropped

People will know what a 5 percenter is and thats why rap is so bad now

Honest to god. This has to be one of the best rap/hip hop songs ever written. ILLMATIC is already considered one of the best albums even but THIS SONG

Still hit hard in 24. No attention whores needed!

🙏

Bro was nineteen… Good Lord!

Half man half amazing ❤❤❤❤❤

1:22 very good❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

1:25 - 1:35 The way he sewed that verse up was flawless.

Beautiful album 🎉

I’ve been listening to this song for years and I just realized that Nas didn’t use any profanity in this song outside of saying “nigga” once in the third verse. He also didn’t curse at all in Nas is Like, which interesting enough, also samples this song.

Classic track Classic time rip Biz
