I've been listening to hip hop for fifteen years and listen to everything from alternative jazz-influenced rap to UK grime and the dirty south. This is still my favorite hip hop album of all time.

Well that's good for you, and I respect your opinion. However, this album will go down as being the one that brought the "underground" into the mainstream. Personally, I prefer the other "underground" sound which artists like Big L, and Lord Finesse, who were lyrically unmatched and brought a real passion to their work, over Nas' work. This album is awesome that is for sure, I've got it around a 4.15. If you look at sputnik's hip-hop chart you'll see that Illmatic and Enter the Wu-Tang are at the top, both of those albums were introductory albums to me which opened my eyes to the extremely versatile genre known as Hip-hop. However, I get easily annoyed when everyone on here posts shit about Illmatic and Enter the Wu-tang as being the GOAT, when they themselves have barely scratched the surface of hip-hop. cheers.

Hey don't get me wrong, I love Big L. My Top 5 rappers of all time it would be 1. Nas 2. Big L, Lifestylez ov da Poor and Dangerous is one of my favorite albums ever. You can't say Nas didn't match Big L's lyrical prowess here, the entirety of NY State of Mind is like the sickest lyrical description of inner city paranoia ever, the whole album he just goes off.

Eh, opinions are opinions, I feel Big L was the greatest MC to ever live and consequently fap over his rhymes. But I definitely respect the fact that you can defend your opinion with a sound argument.

good review, this is an awesome. by the way, on "lifes a bitch" the trumpet solo isnt sampled, its infact his dad playing it (if you're sad enough to care about that sort of thing (i, personally am ))

Did you just seriously say Lord Finesse is better than Nas?

The instrument played at the end of Life's A Bitch is a cornet, not a trumpet

I think i'm more critical of Nas because he peaked on his first album and could never come close to replicating the success, same with WU-tang, Snoop, who knows in due time i'll probably get this back up to a 4.5 / 5. I've just always been a punchline man myself, and i find that i fall more in love with the production team than Nas.

You know what niggas? I've been doing some real thinking, and realized that most of my resistance to this album was unsubstantiated, I've seen the error of my ways and lord don't crucify me now! But seriously, I don't think this is the best hip-hop album of all time, but it's a damn good one and I'm finally giving it the recognition it deserves.
