Is this the closest a Hip Hop album has ever come to being flawless?
>>74632425
Yes. Except it is flawless
No. This is.
>>74632425
Yes. Ready to Die is pretty close though as well
dated sound
>>74632531
>lol he's not rapping over trap beats so it's dated
Illmatic is one of the finest examples of a timeless album, and the production still holds up today. If there's one thing I hate more than oldheads who only bash the new generation of hip hop, it's hypebeasts like you who only bash the older generation.
>>74632531
this is the opposite of a dated album, literally the only thing thats even kind of dated is the weird reverb on a few drum tracks on the album (the world is yours, one love) but other than that this album sounds like it could've come out yesterday
>>74632425
I listened to it for the first time a few years back, thinking it would be a really solid LP.
But after listening to it in full, I understand the hype behind it.

kneejerk meme
>Nas was only 20 years old when he dropped the best hip hop album of all time
What am I doing with my life
>>74633562
He started writing it when he was 19
>>74632425
I am from India and I thought this was good.
OP Here, wrong image
It is definitely the best hip hop album ever made. However, it's not the only perfect hip hop album. 36 Chambers, Liquid Swords, Madvilliany, College Dropout, Late Registration, The Cold Vein, and The Low End Theory are all flawless.

>>74632425
>>74633927
eh most rap is ultimately talking about nothing, comes down to what you feel from the music and less about your interpretation of their lyrics imo
>>74632425
Yes it has the greatest rap song of all time, Memory Lane.
>>74634042
