A knowledgeable rap fan would consider the album pretty great.
The lyrical content on Illmatic is about as real as he could have made it.
edit: I'm sorry to come off as rude, anybody can be a rap fan of course.
But if you don't see what's great about Illmatic than you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the genre. Probably you're just too inexperienced. Like any science, you may need to have historical knowledge of Rap Music to appreciate the album.
