Music reviews of Illmatic
Music Review: Hip Hop in its truest form.
Rating: 5 Stars
One of the greatest hip hop albums of all time, when Nas dropped Illmatic in April 1994, it was like he dropped a bomb on the whole rap scene, and helped put the East Coast back on the map. This album is perfect from start to finish, no wasted space whatsoever. Every track on Illmatic is awesome, but the main ones that will draw you in will be "One Love", "The World is Yours", "It Ain't Hard to Tell", and "N.Y. State of Mind". Also Nas has some of best producers in hip hop collaborating with him on Illmatic: DJ Premier, Q-Tip, Pete Rock, and Large Professor. All in all, Illmatic is not just one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time, its one of the greatest music albums of all time, period. Nas at his absolute best.
Description of Illmatic
Nasir Jones made this debut album at the age of 20, already armed with the calm perceptiveness and been-there-done-that attitude of a much older ghetto vet, though sometimes his inner callow youth shows itself. Illmatic is a look back at a life spent in the culture of the projects, acknowledging joy as much as pain and taking note of violence as a fact of his environment rather than a focus of his life. It's enlivened by Nas's kicky, deep-threaded multiple rhymes--you can tell he grew up listening to Mr. Magic's rap show and internalizing the secrets of everybody's flow--and by tracks from a bunch of all-stars, including the Large Professor, DJ Premier, and, most memorably, Q-Tip ("One Love"). --Douglas WolkGeneral CDs
