ITT: Hip Hop albums better than Illmatic

...

...

you start


hahahahaahahahahahaaha "no"

Trick question.

Got ya covered.

...

Oh sorry, I could have sworn that Slick Rick made Indian Girl and Treat Her Like a Prostitute were written by Slick Rick, not Nas. My mistake.

>Indian Girl and Treat Her Like a Prostitute
>better than Illmatic
kek

Check your taste. Goodbye.

I personally like J. Cole and Rob $tone bc they're keepin' it real fr.

Look mate, I love the ruler, but implying Nas' Illmatic isn't lightyears ahead of anything he's ever done is just nonsensical. The only reason you could reasonably feel this way is some misplaced nostalgia. Otherwise you're a pretentious cunt who never actually listened to either.

...

mah nigger!!

...

...

...

all of these are at least in the conversation. Illmatic is the most overrated entry level hip hop album ever.
ready to die, aquemini, college dropout, slim shady lp, Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous.

pic related is the best.

this is a decent album, and i dont like illmatic. But illmatic is still better than this.

Damn right
No

...

I was going to post this.

Absolutely criminal how underrated Tommy is

This is shit.

tommy wright iii is just an underground meme rapper for 15 year old fucks like you who want to have unique hip hop taste. i bet you have a fuck ton of world music on your phone you've only listened to once, you fucking faggot

Good shit right here.

It Was Written :^)

One of the best in the thread, Public Enemy > Triple 6 though
No it isn't

Why? it's more interesting than illmatic to me desu. It's like they're funnier and more laid back but also manage to be more interesting when they do try to say something with weight.

Late Registration

Absolutely correct

...

...

First time I hear that tommy wright has any kind of meme following. Even then, it doesn't change the fact that he was one of the best memphis rappers out there, his early shit even though it was recorded on a fucking potato, is one of the best memphis rap records. I bet you are that type of faggot who doesn't listen to anything unless only 5 people know about it, just to boast your already rock bottom ego

Pretty good desu

Why bother?

Was that what OP asked for pal?

If were talking solely music contained on the album and not impact it had, then fuckin hell yes.11/10 album

This could be the one.

Pretty much all of those are on the same level with illmatic, boils down to preference after that.

What is that album called?

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique

True

illmatic sucks dick

I disagree. Big L's albums aren't really too great; i can't say I've even sat down and listened to all of them but Lifestylez gets boring when he raps about the same thing over and over. He's crazy lyrically but I'd say illmatic was better than this. If you want better than illmatic pic related

Plenty of stuff

the big bad brother of The Infamous. Both are better than Illmatic however.

Only a Redditor could disagree
