Illmatic

[Tha Killa]

So, a lot of people were talking about how they liked It was written better than Illmatic, so I figured I'd cover Illmatic.

Though this album needs no introduction to even the most inexperienced of Hip-Hop heads, your review was a pretty good, albeit concise, summary of not only the album itself, but it's significance in the musical climate of that time period.

Keep doin' ya thing man....

Really there's no comparison to "Illmatic". The album as a classic in that era. An album that every rapper had. One of the first album to get 5 mics. Only one I can think that can compare is "Ready to Die". As far as superior I really don't see any album that's superior to it. But equal to it maybe.

illmatic is a classic but i think it was written went above and beyond it creativly

but am not saying it was written was better to be it was illmatic that evovled into something more beautiful

The most overrated album in hiphop history, seriously. It's good but not better then RD or MATW.

^^^ This, classics like Illmatic and Reasonable Doubt are albums that must be put in context. You had to be listening to those albums at the time to fully appreciate them, you had to be living that life to fully appreciate them. Sometimes it is hard to go back and listen to a great artist first album and give it a fair one, if you started listening to them a few CD's in to their catalog especially when the artist has continued to show growth and make great music.
