The whole album has so many irrelevant breaks, sub-par verses and goofing around for me to get behind me.
I find it too self indulgent and it is a drag to listen to.

Illmatic is still the benchmark for hip-hop. It's as near to perfect as a record can be, and I know people will try to speak ill of it (pun intended) because it gets a lot of praise but sometimes you just have to sit back and say yeah, it's worthy of it.
1. Agree, but I still think it's a pretty great album.

2. Disagree, but I still think it's a pretty great album.
