English is my second language and i’ve just discovered Nas at 34. Cannot stop listening, it’s unparalleled and I don’t even understand most of the lyrics
Absolutely fantastic record 🎤🔥Illmatic just has to be in the top 3 rap albums 💿 this and the Chronic have to be in their for sure ? But my favourite list always changes lol
The first 2 bars set it up for success. Pure Rap gold.
This was a kid that spit this poetry! Hasn't been matched since.....the goat!
Insane right
"I dont know how to start this shit"

@@freedomgoddess it ain't hard to tell
Merci Pete rock 🤙
Jesus Nas’s flow is beautiful. Smooth as melted chocolate. Forget how vital to the history of real Hip Hop this tune is.
Peace and Love
Fuck flow. Immortal Technique has no flow and still kills it on the mic, because his message is what matters. His forceful delivery.
Meh. He's good but there's way better. Like jay and biggie
@@RaoulRamsaran I don't want to argue about this but I'll simply state that that is highly debatable
@@RaoulRamsaranNOT Jay-Z!

The most underrated song ever
Everyone knows it who knows old school rap, but Illmatic is widely regarded as the greatest album of all time. I agree with that
How is this song underrated it's Nas's most popular song and Nas is the third most famous New York rapper ever.
No it’s fuckin not any millennial or age above knows this very well

In This album, the flow,the beat, the lyrics and the storytelling is a 10/10 .
Especially the flow ,as if the beat adjusted itself to nas's lyrics
