[Still Shinin]

u dont get it, im not sayin illmatic isnt classic and yes its better than everything after it, im not talkin of me, try to comprehend what the threadstarter is sayin. u see lyrics doesnt matter anymore, if it aint got catchy hooks or beats these cats call it borin/garbage

Edit: SMH u are the threadstarter, i was co-signin u dumbazz

[Lord Mecca]

Hell no.
Illmatic would fukk up the whole scene... production from Large Professor, Q-Tip, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, L.E.S. in this day would flip the rap world inside out... and dont say nothin about Pitch Black either them n!ggas is garbage (even though I cop their sh!t)

[illwill01]

if album was released today, I would call it the same thing that I call it anyway... the GOAT hip hop album. It would actually seem that much better in today's wack hip hop climate.

[Dr.Jr8]

is not commercial enough.

Nah thats what makes Illmatic :ohmy: cuz it came out in the GOLDEN days of hiphop and it still made everyone :ohmy:

Thats why its the goat album. It was superior quality when quality was abundant

[yseJ]

first of all it would never come out on a major label
second of all, its like asking if war and peace (the book) came out today would people call it classic ? yeah, but there would be so few people reading (listening) it that no one would care

[illwill01]

yeah true, but if that album had never came out and Nas never had a deal till now and that was his debut, this year, can you imagine how people would react? Instaed of :ohmy: it would be more like :ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::ohmy:

[J0ker_973]

prolly.. whenever i bump an old skool classic in front of youngins.. they always ask whats that wack sh1t and wanna tell me to turn if off so they can bump some singin ass wanna-be hip-hop.. lol youngins sing to songs nowadays.. lol no skunk.. i woulda smacked myself if i ever did that sh1t

yes... crazy fukkin beat, but lyrically they are trash... hot production, trash lyrics... hence why I say dont mention Pitch Black because they're the only guys with production credits close to Illmatic in todays rap climate (Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Teddy Riley, Alchemist etc.) did you even listen to Pitch Black's albums? don't try and say they're lyrically nice

[KingNasir]

if illmatic was released today no one would know. with all these mixtapes out, a rapper with one or two appearances on other songs wouldnt get as much attention as he did then.

im not even dissing the South..but if you ask some of these niccaz to name their top 10 albums..its straight comedy

Illmatic came out when Snoop and em was blowing up big on the commercial scene..

Just like then...niccaz aint gonna have no mutha****ing choice but to listen:yes:

im prolly one of the few that bumps illmatic in the south but how is it straight comedy if u ask what our top 10 albums are?:confused:
of course we aint gonna be bumpin that east coast boom bap shyt we were raised in a different environment with different slang...

[illwill01]

No I havn't but that song is lyrically VERY nice... I dunno what you listenin to.

Music always captures a specific time period, and that's what makes it classic. If Illmatic came out today, it wouldn't feel the same because the sh*t would be 13-14 years later. It would sound like a niqqa tryin' to rehash '94. The same way that if Run-DMC's first album came out in '97, muhfukkas wouldn't have paid the sh*t any mind. A lot of albums are classics because of the time they came out... and they just so happen to still sound good for that reason. I grew up during that time and I STILL don't like to hear rappers now tryin' to come out with some new sh*t that sounds like it's from '93. If I wanna hear some '93 sh*t, I'd rather listen to the actual music FROM '93 that I experienced and enjoyed.

[Knowledge God]

man i really cant ven listen to illmatic anymore its just soo old too me and has no replay value, its like the first big l cd i love it but i just cant **** wit it no more

, cuban linx, ironman, some scarface ****, and a few others just never get old tho

[illwill01]

man i really cant ven listen to illmatic anymore its just soo old too me and has no replay value

:ohmy:

Most replay value of any album ever imo. its in my car CD player right now and has been for like a week...

[Slang Wright]

It would be trash to the peepz that matter most......the buying market. It would be labeled somewhere as "Most Slept On" but what satisfaction would that get ya.

And it never was classic to me. A couple of classic tracks but that's it. Even when it first came out.

[manuael1]

i was playing it yesterday in the whip, it has plenty of replay value.

[DipSet_No Homo]

I was bumpin Roots Illadelph Halflife and my 11 yr old cuz told me to turn that wack sh1t off...

her fav song is currently Lil Mama's "Poppin" tho

im not trying to start an argument or whatever but im probably a little older than you and i bought illmatic right around the time when it was written dropped and i thought it was the best **** ever, a decade and some odd years later i just cant **** with it anymore

cuban linx on the other hand i got right when it dropped and i got it playing right now over a decade later

[broken_language]

it would still be my favorite rap album ever released, and nas my favorite mc...far from the complete joke hes been to me for the last however many years.

lota truth in this

[Windex Cleanerz]

illmatic has replay value

its a timeless album ... hence the word "classic".

I thought we knew this? lol

I agree with the Big L **** tho....big L can get boring after awhile if you overlisten
