What am I missing? I'm going through lots of classic hip hop albums lately and liked most of them, but I'm kinda stuck on this one. I don't see whats so great about it, it honestly bores me.
if you dont like this album you dont get hip hop

Mabye, that's why I'm asking for someone who likes this album to explain its appeal to me.

Haven't listened to it yet, but I listend to 36 Chambers and to Supreme Clientele and I enjoyed both so much more than this.

OB4CL > Illmatic > Liquid Swords

an album doesn't need to be filled with hype tracks. it's an album made up of stories and reflect on life, take one love and life's a bitch 4 example

so this album is more about the lyrics than anything else?

most of all it's about the rhythm in his lyrics
>>68570507
I can see that, I'll have to listen a little more before I judge it. Just hasn't grabbed me that much as other albums on the first two listens.

trust me, when i was introduced to nas i didn't catch on immediatly either but he grew on me quickly after listening to this album and i can honestly say that (besides the Wu) he is the (runner up) G.O.A.T.
