Illmatic
............................“Time is Illmatic keep static like wool fabric” – “Life’s a Bitch…”. Not much to say on this one. Nas will hold up and Jay-Z will not. Illmatic gets more full record spins than Reasonable Doubt. You can’t compare singles and radio play between the two. Look at how already, 10 years in, Big gets more spins than Tupac… (“separate the weak from the obsolete” (“Who Shot Ya?”)) despite more single radio play back in the day from Tupac, the cleaned-up cute Thug instead of the “heart throb never, black and ugly as ever” (“One More Chance”). All I got to say is, fuck you Jay-Z, prick.
