that's just my personal pref though, I will have to agree that when it comes to lyricism it doesn't even touch illmatic

big l's debut comes close to this in terms of lyricism, i think

Fantastic Damage maybe, but I love that more because of the beats/atmosphere

bizarre ride ii is infinitely fun



and yea public enemy is not for everyone. it takes a nation of millions has retarded production but it makes it even more entertaining (i realize i sound like pissbore trying to defend illud when i'm saying that but whatever IT'S TRUE)
