Probably one of the best debut albums in the history of recorded music, all hyperbole aside. Honestly, the lyrical complexity and depth of metaphor Nas shows on his first showing is astonishing considering he was only 21 when Illmatic was released. Truly one of the best examples of the Golden Age of Hip Hop we have.
I've got class in 20 but I'll be back on the late to delve further into this thread, ya dig?
