Illmatic is the best Musical album of all time. Lets take a trip down memory lane

Cameo is my ****! :lol:

Interesting that you mention Chuck D because I'd say Bomb Squad production is so chaotic, "simple" isn't a word you'd use to describe it.

And I find Pac to be a pretty simple lyricist as well.

Again....opinions.....

Yeah I feel you. But the rhyme schemes and the beats = put me to sleep.

Damn near intolerable. And yeah it has nothing to do with comparison a far as theatrics today because artists who make perfect music to me are Pac, Outkast, Marvin Gaye, Kellz, Jon B, Cameo, Earth, Wind, & Fire, Toro y Moi just to name a few. So the way Chuck D, Beastie Boys rapped + their beats does absolutely nothing for me. Like I said though I can respect it. Even the likes of Rakim. I understand the context of his rhyme scheme and his innovative patterns but that **** sounds simple as **** musically and lyrically. I do love Cube in particular and Brass Monkey by Beastie Boys.

I clearly said 2pac is one if my favorite artists (he actually IS my favorite artist). Word to the wise since you don't like ______ you must not like ______ doesn't actually work most of the time

You're entitled to your opinion.

I can't see how those classic NWA records, the Beastie Boys, the classic Run DMC, Eric B and Rakim joints etc. could be considered "boring".

But all good.

Funny, I remember people saying they found Kendrick and "Good Kid...." "boring".

Sadly, I think there's too much theatrical ******** in Rap now a days that people can't just appreciate great music. Not directed at you, just speaking generally.

Best musical album of all time? Not 100% sure I'd say that.

Best hip-hop album of all time? No question in my opinion. I love this album. I copped when I was 11 in '94, but couldn't get into it right away. I was feeling the Doggystyle sound a lot more back then. But as the years went on it started to hit me a lot more. Since the time I hit high school this album has been at the top of my list. No doubt. 

Represent is my favorite track on here.

It's a good album, but isn't nearly as accessible as his music after that, IMO.  For lack of a better word, that album feels heavy.  I have to be in a certain type of mood to throw that on and let it ride.   
 
i agree, to me its the greatest hiphop album maybe cuz im from nyc , it just flawless but everyone has there own opinion this debate will never
end but alot of people even some of your favorite rappers agree that illmatic is the best album or top 5 at least.
