Two decades ago, on April 19, 1994, Queensbridge's favorite street prophet, Nas, released his landmark debut album Illmatic. It quickly became one of the most celebrated rap albums ever and helped revive the New York sound of hip-hop

I made a dedication to that. Check it out

(sidenote: How do you feel about the impact Illmatic has on today's youth?)
 
Illmatic has no impact on today's youth unless we're using the logic that

Illmatic influenced artists who influence today's youth. But yeah as a 20

year old i can assure you most of my generation doesn't care. Hell my

favorite albums are from the 90s and I listen to a LOT of music in general

that was made before I was born and don't even like Illmatic as a whole *shrugs*

The greatest hip hop album ever made.

True, it doesnt have a direct impact to today's youth-but niether does movies like Jaws or Citizen Kane. Point is, "impact" is a ripple effect kinda thing.
