The only one that might be better is Biggie's Ready to Die. All the other rap "classics" aren't classics.

I would put Paid in Full up there but it's not better than Illmatic
|
| |
Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt for an album that was directly influenced by Illmatic, or Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP for an album that simply did everything better.
|
| |
Marshall Mathers: too long, too many skits, great but not perfect
Illmatic: Intro, 9 great tracks=all killer no filler
|
| |
I don't see how it's length could have hurt the album unless you have no attention span.
|
| |
it's length hurts because it's hard to fill 18 tracks with great music, it's easier to come up with 10 great tracks than 18
|
| |
So what?
|
| |
so Eminem did not fill his 18 tracks with great music, Nas did with his 10 tracks
|
| |
So Nas' lesser effort is somehow redeeming?

white boys cant rap yo

It's not a lesser effort it was just less songs that means no bad songs which is more than I can say for MMLP
|
| |
You're going down a path that I can't follow.
|
| |
every song on Illmatic is great
MMLP is a great album, not every song is great

Your going down a path that I can't follow.

This is a model for consistency in rap but its far from the best out there.

Reasonable Doubt and MMLP are both amazing fucking records. this is just better.
I agree with Rubbadonga. Eminem had 18 tracks on his album. there were not 18 amazing tracks on the album, just 18 tracks.
illmatic is all perfect. eminem has never written a song that betters "Memory Lane" or "It Ain't Hard To Tell."
he's come close though, and I still prefer Eminem as an artist.
