Nas - Illmatic Review Sandman Mc Jay **come**Nas - Illmatic Review Sandman Mc Jay **come**
Low said: "Album Name: Illmatic
Artist: Nas
Date: April 19 1994 (3 days Before Low's Birtday)
Realesed Type: Standard Album.
Average Rating: 5/5 Star
Illmatic Was a very good Album, it came out on april 19th 1994 (3 Days before my birthday), It Was A Good Album Because The Lyrics Were MeaningFul, And It Had Good beats and The lyrics flowed too. I mean What More Does An Album Need. People Say The Album Is Probaly Nas's Best One.
When Columbia Records first released Illmatic on 19 April 1994(3days BeFore My Birthday) few if any expected that it would have such a profound impact on hip-hop culture. Although Nas impressed the hip-hop world with his verse on Main Source's 1991 posse cut "Live at the Barbeque", ("Verbal assassin, my architect pleases / When I was twelve, I went to hell for snuffin' Jesus") and created a buzz with the early release of "Halftime", there was no indication that he was poised to create the most celebrated album in hip-hop history. It is only ten years later, appropriately marked by the release of Illmatic Anniversary Edition, that we can fully appreciate the importance of Nas's seminal project.
The Album Cover Has A Picture Of A Little Child With A Mini Afro.

[CENTER][U]Illmatic Review[/U]
Had to jump aboard & 5 star one of my favourite albums of all time. I personally like all of the songs except One Time For Your Mind (It's skippable). Halftime is my favourite (Nas Drops hot lines like 'I used to hustle, now all I do is relax & strive/ when I was young I was fan of the Jackson Five'. I think halftime will always be my fave. However, it is closely followed by One Love. One Love has a nice mellow beat that goes well with Nas' stortelling, 'What up kid/ I know sh** is rough doin' your bid/ when the cops came you shoulda slid to my crib'. I could go into details on other hot lines from the album but I won't. Some people feel that one of Illmatics weaknesses is the length (10 songs). Fans should realise that the short albums are Nas' better albums because he doesn't have a 'filler' every second or third track. The Lost Tapes is a perfect example of this. Why are the lost tapes considered by many his second best album? Because it's short & sweet, no unnecessary filler tracks. I know the level of rhyming is also elevated on Illmatic compared to other albums, I just think the main reason Illmatic is a classic is because it's short & sweet.
By the way I gave it 5 stars!!![/CENTER]"
