Course it is, there is a reason it is in nearly every Hip-Hop fan's top 5. Some things just shouldn't need explaining. One is a Hip-Hop classic and the other is a very good take on a Hip-Hop classic. I don't even think Elzhi would agree with your statement.
Tracks like Halftime, NY State of Mind, It Ain't Hard to Tell, One Love are better than anything on Elmatic and classic tracks in their own right. The production on Elmatic was refreshing and not as simplistic as Illmatic's, I'll give you that. But that doesn't make it better at all.
