Why is this so much better than Illmatic?

Cause Nas is a terrible rapper.

wu tang clan is shit

Shut up U-God.

Literally the most overrated rap group ever. Go listen to some big L and come back to /mu/

>big L
>It's just biggie for hipster

>>68424188
As if Big L isn't the epitome of the overrated NY hip-hop that gets circlejerked online

Because the second half doesn't fall off like a cliff

fucking newfags with their reddit buzzwords I swear

>>68424295
It's got nothing to do with reddit, it's just teenagers who think they're special for listening to a critically acclaimed rapper who was ever so slightly less popular than his contemporaries. Big L is always a name that comes up with those people. Nas, KRS One, Big L, the list could go on.

no I'm just pointing out that only redditors use "circlejerk". Learn to read.

>>68424390
No, only redditors think Big L is the end-all-be-all of hip-hop, "circlejerk" is just a word, and it has been ingrained into this site for years, especially since generals took over

>implying Illmatic does this

>>68424072
Illmatic isnt even that good, its just boring and bland

>>68424295
>I can't think of a reason for why I think he's great, aside from being a contrarian so I'll just resort to memes

>>68424492
Reddit is even more of a buzzword than circlejerk. Also /mu/ is just as bad as Reddit.

kek

Pretty much this
Illmatic also as a whole doesn't flow like 36 chambers.. entire album is like the rap version of album rock
Is a master planned type of record with a close watchful eye of ESA overseeing the whole thing

Nas just kinda had some good raps and themes and struck the hearts of a lot of New Yorkers and NY dickriders with N.Y. state of mind

>>68425674
wow i didnt think someone would actually back me up on this. for a long time, i though i just didnt "get" Nas but now i fully believe he is just a boring rapper

>>68424457
This

Gtfo 36 Chambers is terrible

I'm sure people agree with you but as a trust you probably get filtered by a lot of people so they don't even see your shot to disagree or agree anyway
