NY state of mind > one love > memory lane > rest
Brandon Nguyen
yes, it's the best hip hop album ever made
Jace Walker
if you start this album you will not be able to turn it off, guaranteed
NY State of Mind sounds mindblowing every single time you listen to it, it's kind of freakish how it seems to always sound 'new'
Jason Foster
Its an objectively great album, but it definitely hasnt aged well. Everyone should respect it for what it is, but it is also 100% dated.
Thomas Gray
sick reference, bro.
Jeremiah Thompson
no love for represent or halftime or the world is yours?
Noah Phillips

William Reyes
the AZ verse on Life's A Bitch is one of the best rap features to date
Brandon Sanders
Represent and half time sound dated desu. The world is yours is good tho
Ryan Thompson
NYSOM = Represent > One Love > Life's A Bitch = The World Is Yours > Memory Lane > Halftime = One Time 4 Your Mind > It Ain't Hard To Tell > The Genesis

Like wine OP. This album is a masterpiece in its own right.
Memory Lane was the best track
Cameron Edwards

Joshua Sanders
Pic related is an underground classic
Aaron Hall
Boot Camp Clik is mad underrated as far as 90's NY goes
Start with Smif-n-wessun - dah shinin
then heltah skeltah - nocturnal
black moon - enta da stage , is a classic as well
A few example tracks from the albums
Cameron Kelly

John Carter
Has this aged well?
Nolan Lopez
This blew it the fuck out, so not really
Isaiah Gray
Probably the only perfect hip hop album, entirely because of the sum of its parts, the production, the lyricism, the subject matter, the hype, and the time period were all key in immortalizing this Illmatic. I dont listen to much hip hop anymore since my early 20s, but I'll still bang this album a few times a year, especially now.
Fun note: I know every single lyric by heart, and when I first got into production some 10 years ago Memory Lane was the first song I recreated. It was such a fulfilling experience.
Blake Barnes
Oddly enough Beat, Rhymes, and Life aged the best, but People's Instinctive Travels is the tru patrician album
Alexander Long
