>>72017822
WHERE FAKE NIGGAZ DONT MAKE IT BACK

NY state of mind > one love > memory lane > rest

>>72017683

yes, it's the best hip hop album ever made

>>72017683
if you start this album you will not be able to turn it off, guaranteed

NY State of Mind sounds mindblowing every single time you listen to it, it's kind of freakish how it seems to always sound 'new'

Its an objectively great album, but it definitely hasnt aged well. Everyone should respect it for what it is, but it is also 100% dated.

>>72017711
sick reference, bro.

>>72017884
no love for represent or halftime or the world is yours?

>>72018339
>but it definitely hasnt aged well
whats dated about it

>>72017683
the AZ verse on Life's A Bitch is one of the best rap features to date

>>72019353
Represent and half time sound dated desu. The world is yours is good tho

>>72019353

NYSOM = Represent > One Love > Life's A Bitch = The World Is Yours > Memory Lane > Halftime = One Time 4 Your Mind > It Ain't Hard To Tell > The Genesis

>>72017853
I don't know how to start this shit man

>>72017683
I was listening to it at noon today and I"m actually listening to "Nas is Like" as we speak

>>72017683

It holds up extremely well

>>72017683
This is literally if Joey Badass was good: the album

>>72017683

Like wine OP. This album is a masterpiece in its own right.

Memory Lane was the best track

Boot Camp Clik is mad underrated as far as 90's NY goes

Start with Smif-n-wessun - dah shinin

then heltah skeltah - nocturnal

black moon - enta da stage , is a classic as well

A few example tracks from the albums

This blew it the fuck out, so not really

Probably the only perfect hip hop album, entirely because of the sum of its parts, the production, the lyricism, the subject matter, the hype, and the time period were all key in immortalizing this Illmatic. I dont listen to much hip hop anymore since my early 20s, but I'll still bang this album a few times a year, especially now.
Fun note: I know every single lyric by heart, and when I first got into production some 10 years ago Memory Lane was the first song I recreated. It was such a fulfilling experience.

Oddly enough Beat, Rhymes, and Life aged the best, but People's Instinctive Travels is the tru patrician album
