Illmatic

Just not a good day for rap or hip-hop. 2.5

Ok

I don't really listen to rap but this seemed ok. 45/100

Don't like rap, that's about it; the beat throughout the album was nice though. For that alone 2/5

Not it, not horrific just not it

Rap, suck. Men intressanta samplingar ger den en tvåa.

The genesis: intro ( simula uma conversa) - gostei N.Y State of mind: faz uma denuncia atraves de cenas cotidianas (usou a palavra dykes nao entendi a necessidade) 3/5 Life’s a bitch: gostei do ritmo e o rumo da msc, nao mto da letra 3/5 The world is yours: preferia que a musica fosse apenas a letra do rap em algum momento acabei nao gostando tanto da parte considerada refrao/ hook “Whos world is this Its yours Its mine whats mine is mine” 3/5 Halftime: ( acredito que propositalmente é justamente a musica que indica a metate do album 5 de 10) a musica é um ego boost + uso da palavra faggot e novamente não entendi a necessidade, overall tambem nao gostei mto do fluxo q a musica segue 1/5 Honestamente perdi a vontade de continuar

I feel like this is an album that I could eventually like. I probably would have liked it if I would have listened to it when I was younger, but it wasn't on my radar.

I'm sorry but rap all sounds the same to me

Not for me

Niet mijn muziek. Rap en best explicit

This really didn't do much for me. I like the vibes. I'm sure the lyrics are great, but nothing really jumped out to me the way some other rap/hip hop artists do.

I loved the music, the backing tracks, and the samples. I didn't love the flow or the lyrics.

Hearing The World is Yours took me back to play whichever Tony Hawk game it was in

This is an outstanding rap album. The vibe is fantastic. However, the explicit nature of many of the songs exceed my ratings limit. Pitchfork: 10.0 Rolling Stone: Top 500 Albums #44 (2023) Best Songs

2.0

Nas my thing.

Weil es rap war hat es mir nicht sooo gut gefallen, trotzdem war es ein guter rap. Für rap hat es mir gut gefallen. Habs aber auch nir so 1,5 mal gehört deswegen auch schwer zu sagen

repetitiv, nu mi place rap ul neaparat si mi se pare ca suna pretty much toate melodiile la fel ,dar a sunat bine overall 5/10

#16 Thought it was all right, never have listened to Nas and I probably won't return.

Decent rap album. Wouldn’t make an effort to listen again.

not very unique or my taste of music

Better than most modern rap. I like the jazz elements and it’s cool Nas’ dad was the trumpet player on some songs. I just can’t relate to the music.

2.5

It wasn’t very memorable. Not my type of rap.

Another rap album, at least this one didn’t overstay its welcome. Some tracks were good but still musically repetitive. I don’t know if a version of rap exists out there for me but I’m hopeful

not too moving

Since I am now a rap connoisseur, I judge this as far superior than some we have previously had (run dmc) but a way off the incredible flow of eg. wu tang clan and its offshoots. Certainly raised an eyebrow of the old man at the toll booth when I rolled up this morning though. Heh.

Welcome to the hype train! The number of gushing reviews of this album is phenomenal. I’ve tried to listen to this album and appreciate it a number of times, such as when it was the soundtrack to The Force by Don Winslow. Sure, it’s not as offensive as most other rap from the time and therefore that makes the lyrics more engaging, but musically it’s shocking. I can’t think of a rap album where the backing music is worse than this. It’s insipid.

Ya Classic

Didn’t work for me.

Nothing to distinguish it from 90% of the other hip hop albums on this list. 2.5*

The beats still have a very early hip hop feel. I prefer the beats and intricate vocal rhythms of more modern hip hop. I noticed a turn and thought the album was kicking up, but it must have been the next song after the album

It’s basically the same song on repeat ten times.

meh

Not my thing.

Don’t get the hype, yeah production was good but not a lot changes over the course of the album, didn’t keep me interested

The man who is 1 higher than Eminem on Eminem's best rappers list

I must be missing something… but his flow always sounds the same to me. The rhymes are good, but they follow a pattern that becomes repetitious too. This is a 2 for me — fine, but I didn’t *need* to hear it. 🤷

#144/1001. The flow is great, the beats are good, the songs are copies each ither and the lyrics tell me nothing to me about my life.

...

Another generic hiphop album that seems to repeat itself with every song. Never heard the n-word slung around so much in one album.

Overdose on N-Word? Besides that, it was not as bad as expected.

08/15 HipHop

Aha

No es mi estilo, pero al vuelo escuché: "I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death" y me encantó. El resto para mi fue super genérico.

well, not my particular taste, however i can see the importance of this to the music

Nah

I'm not a good judge of hip hop/rap. I know this is one of the iconic albums, but maybe I just didn't get it. 2*

"Not wrong, just... Wrong for me".

Toujours pas fan de rap…

I'm still trying to "get" rap and hip hop. Getting better, but obviously not good enough to understand why this is considered on of the best of all time, which also makes me wonder if I'm fighting an uphill battle. The rapping here is crisp, but I'm learning that I also need to have underlying music that has some interest other that great beats. There was some sampling and production in the earlier tracks that go close, the piano and bass sampling in N.Y. State of Mind, for instance. The later tracks though just didn't do it for me. I fully acknowledge that I may be missing the point and Illmatic intends for the focus to be on the rhymes, I'm just not convinced yet that this makes for interesting music. Maybe someday.

Heard a lot about this one! It's very well put together, immaculately produced but I just don't really vibe with this style of hip-hop. Fav tracks - Memory Lane

HipHop:) yo homies! DJ Premier -> Gang Starr -> classic scratching und samples. Muffathalle HipHop-Jam, Main Concept, David P ist jetzt Arzt. Ansonsten triggert nicht ganz so wie die anderen Klassiker, Eminem&Dr.Dre GOAT? c

Eh not my style

Not for me

Of the hip-hop/rap I do enjoy, this era is definitely my favorite. That said, this particular album didn’t grab me. I just couldn’t get into it. For me, it ends up being just okay.

Maybe this is good? I feel like I’m missing something because I just don’t connect with a lot of rap. Including this record.

Not my thing. None of the tracks really stood out for me.

This isn't the worst hip-hop I've had to listen to, but I don't see ever putting it on again.

Pas désagréable pour un style de musique que je n'aime pas

2 1/2 I wasn’t paying enough attention when I listened to this so it deserves another try. I’ve heard it’s a great album so I want to give it a chance.

It’s rap, but it’s not catch for me to sing.

I have never really liked this style of rap. I don't follow the message well and I can only hear the n-word so many times. Definitely nothing bad about this album, but it just didn't hit.

Not my genre.

Not my thing.

One of the weakest artists that represent the East Coast, if you ask me.

Usually hate rap but actually found this bearable which is why it's a 2

Much better than public enemy

not really what I like listening to.

I just could not get into this.

Yes, there's polysyllabic lyrical complexity, but generally this doesn't fall into my limited enjoyment of rap/hip-hop.

♫ Listening to "Halftime" by Nas (Illmatic, 1992) ♫

Eh, nothing special. Pretty same-same, nothing to set it apart from the rest of the rappers of this time in sound or lyrics. 2/5 stars.

Rap

Represent was the only song I added to the playlist. Other good songs were "LAB" and "One Love"

I know this is one of those albums people treat like sacred text, but honestly, it just didn’t land for me. I get that the production is supposed to be classic, and sure, there’s some solid beat work going on here, but it all started to blur together for me pretty fast. It’s very of-its-time, and maybe if I’d heard it back in the 90s I’d feel differently, but as a first-time listener now, it just felt more like a historical document than something that actually moved me. The flow is technically strong, but I struggled to stay invested. Lyrically, I could see what he was going for — snapshots of street life, coming-of-age realism — but I found a lot of it hard to connect with. Some of the bars are clever, but there’s also a fair bit of posturing, and I didn’t really feel like I got to know the person behind the words. It was all scene-setting, no real heart. N.Y. State of Mind was probably the standout for me, and Life’s a Bitch had its moments too, but the rest just left me a bit cold. I didn’t hate it, I just didn’t care, and that’s maybe worse. I think the main thing is that I came into this expecting something mind-blowing and instead found something that felt like background music with an occasional pulse. I can respect its place in music history, but for me, Illmatic is more admired than enjoyed. It’s not bad, it’s just not one I’m ever going to reach for again.

Another boring ass hip hop album

Started off chill and like I was really going to love this album (this wasn't my jam when I was listening to music back when this actually came out in 1994). But then it just sort stayed chill and got repetitive for me. Not my favorite.

Not my thing and rather bland. Everything sounded basically the same.

Didn't want to like this album. It was a little bit of a surprise that had its moments. Not much light and shade and its a repetitive sound. Some good hooks and interesting lyrics throughout.

"life is a bitch and then we die, which is why we get high". This just writes itself!!

jo jo niga pul da čriga itd.

This album was fine. I'm not really a fan of like groove rap for an entire album. Slow and vibes. It wasn't bad, and I didn't HATE it, but this isn't a rap album I'd reach for regularly. "N.Y. State of Mind" was solid tho and "The World Is Yours" put me back in my childhood room playing NBA 2K13 (I thought it was on Madden too, but after a quick Google search I guess I was wrong lol). Maybe a 2.25 Liked Songs: "N.Y. State of Mind" , "The World Is Yours" , "Memory Lane (Sittin' in da Park)" , "Represent"

I liked some of the samples, good lyrics for at least some of the songs. Overall this wasn't bad, but I didn't love it. 2.5

Another album in the hip-hopathon that has been suddenly inflicted upon me. Unlike the other albums I've listened to, I've actually heard this one before. I don't remember why. I'm pretty sure I had a sudden impulse to give hip-hop a fair shake back in 2023, which wasn't a success as I did not like this album. My opinion of this album has improved now that I have more music-listening experience under my belt. Nas is a pretty good vocalist. His voice is attention-grabbing and lends itself nicely to this tempo and style of singing. I couldn't listen to the lyrics as closely as I would have liked to, but what I was able to pick up was pretty good. Some good rhymes and choices of words, particularly on "Life's a Bitch" and "One Love". Musically, the album is a bit of a mixed bag. The instrumental on "The World Is Yours" is a particular highlight, even if it errs on the side of being too long-winded. "One Love" does a good job of holding my attention despite having a very minimal instrumental. Other instrumentals leave a lot to be desired, like "Memory Lane" and "One Time 4 Your Mind", which are very dated and weak in the percussion department. The first half of this album was pretty competent and distinct, though the second half really falters with a blur of songs that sound similar to one another. This ultimately killed my enthusiasm for the album, even if I can admit that the music itself is competent. I know this album is massively popular and a classic, so I'm not gonna quibble over whether it deserves to be in the book. Regardless, I am curious. "Proof that hardcore hip hop can move minds as well as feet". About Nas' experience growing up in the New York projects. He was 20 years old when this album released. Maybe I'm expecting too much from a book comprised of 1001 entries, but the write-ups for these albums never explain the history or impact of these albums, which I think is the biggest decider in whether an album is worthy of pre-mortem listening. Regardless, it's very impressive that Nas was 20 when this album released.

Generic gangsta rap to my ears.

Pas mon genre mais ça s’écoute bien

Not offensive but not good

don't understand the huge hype & praise for this album. the beats get monotonous, & just don't understand the praise for his lyrics. yes, they tell a story, but his tone is so one-note.

Nas lyrics, which I’m reading for the first time, flow smoothly and are full of images. But still, my first feelings about Illmatic back in the 90s haven’t really changed. To me, it often feels like he’s just talking over beats that sound kind of flat and lifeless. His voice stays on the same tone, there’s no real anger here, no humor like in West Coast rap. It feels more like a well written documentary about his hood in NYC than a full, exciting piece of music.

Not for me

I wasn't really sure what to do with this. I'm willing to put this on me the listener rather than the album itself, but the whole album felt like one identical song, and I wasn't a huge fan of that song.

Not for me.

I can tell the guy can rap well but didn’t pay attention as I fast forwarded frequently. The tunes behind the rap were too repetitive for me. I prefer good music, then lyrics.

No a fan

All a bit serious. NYC and the east coast in general lacks any charm. I have no desire to buy into his world

Look, I can tell it's good.The lyrics are razor-sharp, the production is spot on, but it's deeply rooted in a very specific reality: That “gotta represent” ethos—where your identity is tied to your block, your crew, your hustle—it’s powerful, but I didn’t grow up in that mindset or world, and it feels more like watching a documentary than something I can feel on a gut level. Good but not for me.

point9.

Nao adianta nao gosto de rap

MF'ers (correctly?) forgot about Nas.

Nope

Not very interesting, bored me after a bit. It wasn't really terrible.

I am not going to run out and buy a Nas album, but this was not nearly as bad as I feared. Most songs had an actual tune, and I understood at least 20% of the lyrics if I tried real hard to listen.

I... cannot understand why this got as big as it did. It's just not really an enjoyable album. Nas's rap rhythm is a bit offputting, and the lyrics really don't capture a whole lot. Pretty mid.

No

Nas’ flow was not bad. He needed more variety with his subject matter. Hearing him rap about weed and about how his neighborhood is bad got old after a while.

Hip hop, acústicamente atractivo, bien sampleado, por lo demás no tengo mucho que opinar de este género que no me identifico en absoluto

Meins ist es nicht

"Life's a bitch and then you die" fand ich ganz cool als Zitat. All in all bin ich einfach kein großer Hip Hop Fan.

I'm sorry, but rap just isn't for me. Halftime was a bit above averge, but overall just not my thing

Every couple years I try to get into hip hop, and I always end up listening to this one. This is maybe my 4th time trying to get it, but I still don't.

Probably the best hip hop album I’ve heard so far. A minimum of the annoying sound effects, the rapping does impressive things with language and the beat is kind of addictive. Almost a 3 if I thought I’d ever choose to listen to it.

N F M. Love the tunes but not the world I live in or want to hear about. Sorry 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nice rhymes. Laid back. But. Sorry, I can't do the drugs and guns.

🤷‍♀️

This is pleasant enough but wasn't earth-shattering. Nice loops and the flow is good, but I didn't feel like this was doing or saying anything I haven't heard before.

I understand that this album is held in high regard, but I don't understand it myself. Sure, it isn't bad but I think it's a bit boring.

I liked the rhythms but I disliked all the derogatory language.

Its a rap album

💯реп

Just not my jam at all

Raps not really my genre. But this is melodic with compelling text.

People being "hard" into mics gets a little repetitive.

I don't like rap or hiphop so I'm not a fair critic here. There are a few rap artists or albums that with for me; this wasn't one of them.

Uff. Sehr roh.

Aaand it sucks from the beginning. But then some parts are not terrible. But then some parts are terrible again!

Monotone muziek

2 Stars (5/15)

Really not for me but I'm not it's audience obviously. I've never visited hip hop and rap as a genre. This had some good beats but not for me.

Not my cup of tea, but can see why it's rated well

Again just a case of respecting the album rather than enjoying it.

Hip-Hip is not really my genre, although I like some here and there. Nas is an artist I have never heard of. Some of the samples are interesting and the vibe and delivery is a bit more chilled and laid back when compared to say N.W.A. or Public Enemy. However the lyrics could be considered \"angry\". This album contains all the elements that Hip-Hop fans seem to love. Those who aren't into Hip-Hop like myself may find this album drags a bit.

Nothing too memorable. Kinda bland. Two stars for some good sampling.

Just not In the mood

No entiendo por qué es icónico, no me gustó para nada.

pas ouf

I don't quite understand the culture inspiring the music. A few good tracks in the middle, without dropping any N words or mentioning selling cocane or using guns to solve problems.

I keep hoping I'll find a rap album that I enjoy out of this. The production was well done, Nas' voice was fine, just not my thing.

i understand how this is a classic of its genre but i don't like this kind of music

I really don't get what's great about this album. Not bad, but utterly forgettable. I've felt that way about east coast hip hop music before, so I guess I'm just not a fan.

I didn't really vibe with this.

Another album that I can sorta understand its importance, but this genre really isn’t my thing. The beats are a bit too repetitive. The lyrics are ok but nothing stood out to me. 2.5/5

Eh it was fine.

Ordinarily I wouldn't give something like this a chance but I read the Wiki article first and pulled it up. Thus far I'm at track 7 and haven't yet deleted it. I've heard much worse. UPDATE: Near the end my hand involuntarily reached for the delete button but I managed to fight off the compulsion and made it all the way through.

I’m not a rap kind of chap. Offensive at times, but not the worst.

boh noiosetto

Not a fan. Album was ok but I didn’t favorite any song.

I really like the music, much less keen on the lyrics. Not a big fan of rap in general.

Nice beats, didn’t understand a lot of the lyrics.

This album is from 1994 and this is when that music was popular, but nowadays this is very outdated. I have also moved away from rap music, as I have gotten older, and I don't think that it was very exciting to listen to. Quite meh but alright in the background, I guess. Nothing too exciting, just a bunch of yapping but I do understand that this was the rap music that was popular back then.

Meh ..

It wasn’t bad but not my thing

Sounds like typical rap from the early 90’s. Appreciate the message. Beats just seem to be typical and redundant.

appreciate but not my thing. explicit

Of any relation to Lil Nas X?

Clásica estética y sonido callejero neoyorquino con el jazz-rap en la base de todo. Letras literarias y rapeo fluido capaz de evocar la dura realidad del gueto pero, al mismo tiempo, lanzar señales de esperanza. Así en "N.Y. State of Mind" rima: "nunca duermo, porque el sueño es primo de la muerte". Sin ser muy aficionado al rap, destacaría "Life's a Bitch", en colaboración con AZ y Olu Dara.

RAP 2/5

This sounds really dated. The beats are original at times but the lyrics are the exact same shit as every other rap song from this time period. How do you have an entire of genre of music that just says the exact same thing over and over again? “I deal drugs and have lots of sex and am rich and commit frequent acts of violence” said in slightly different ways over ten million different albums. Pass.

3.5/10 - Better than most of the rap albums we have gotten so far in my opinion. But I feel like there is a good chance that the people actually in the rap community will have an opposing opinion. Life's a B kind of sounds like a Beastie Boys song if the voice was different. Also I see Lupe Fiasco took a hint from Nas and brought it to a whole new level. Instead of half a song being names of his boys Lupe made an entire 10 minute song about it.

Didn't hate it, just not into rap.

It´s just rap - but it´s ok.

Extremely violent and outdated. This is from the time when saying lyrics about killing people and gangster shit was cool. I don’t think it’s cool. Also, this was lame in comparison to albums like Snoop Dogg or Dr. Dre because the rhymes were basic and it didn’t have any humor or playfulness to it. Like I said just negative and violent. Some of the beats were OK. 2/5.

Life’s a bitch and then you die. Now I know where that line came from.

Funky tunes

2024-04-13...

Rap, nie mój gatunek

Not really my thing, but contentedly had it on in the background while I did other stuff.

Some good samples, though sometimes it doesn't really go anywhere. The rapping ranges from terrible to above average. Not enough on the higher end.

What can i say. Classic

repetitive

I have a really hard time catching the lyrics, which is what (apparently) makes this album great. Without that it all just kind of falls flat. There's some good production work, but otherwise I'm not into it. Good enough that it's not bad, though.

Boring, monotonous, sometimes annoying, yo man hip-hop music.

This album was definitely not for me

I feel like I’m missing something here but this album didn’t do much for me. Liked the song with Q Tip and the songs following it were alright but the album was mostly forgettable for me. Probably would benefit from a few more listens which may happen tbf

It was ok, didn't love it, didn't hate it - it didn't really capture me so probably not one I'll listen to again

Rap goes too fast for me most of the time, the only word I understood reliably while listening was cocaine

Listened twice, appreciated the rhymes, but didn’t find something special

Short listen only...not the best of the genre it seemed

Not my thing, though I like the beats and I get that it was revolutionary.

I feel really bad for this, but it's just boring.

Not my favorite.

Another rap album. It’s not as bad as some of the others.

Not my style. Could maybe listen to it in the background while getting stuff done but not an album I would solely sit an listen to.

Я никогда не был большим фаном рэпа. Да, оно чётко, чисто, хорошо зачитано. Но мне как бы так похер. Две звезды.

Not a fan of this genre

Not the best rap I’ve ever heard, but still markedly better than most modern rap.

I hated this album. The lyrics were good, sure. The instrumental was awful and felt like it was missing something. The flow was not there.

Solider Hip Hop aber für mich etwas zu jazzig.

Mundane gangsta rap with the usual drugs, violence and sexism, but without clever wordplay or rhythms.

Good listening for a particular type of mood. Rap but not too aggressive. Strong lyrically. No real stand out song that I could determine.

# Playlist track - The World is Yours # Notes - A bit repetitive. In some songs, like "NY State of Mind" you are already annoyed by the same 3 notes by the middle of the song.

I don‘t like hip-hop. I gave this album a try but I still don‘t like hip-hop.

this is just not my genre

An album of despair. Instructive but unpleasant listening

Nicht mein Ding...

I enjoyed a few songs but most of the songs sounded the same to me.

Really does nothing for me.

2-3. I like the musicality, the bass lines, backing singers and overall vibe. I just fundamentally don’t think I enjoy rap and man I really tried. I think it’s good rap I just don’t like it.

This is Nas' debut album.

Gangsta rap Gut zum nebenbei GTA zu spielen

This is probably the highest rating I'll ever give to this genre

It's saving grace is that it was short

Was an okay album, wasn’t amazing for me but appreciate this was out so long ago it would have been a massive debut album.

Meh. Not a huge fan

# 114 : RAP! Hip Hop rubbish is not my thing at all. Still, I can listen to it, pretty solid throughout. Favourite Track : Life's A Bitch Listened : 21/11/2023

I understand that it’s a significant piece in hip hop history but it just doesn’t resonate with me

Starts out a little messy and confused. Second track a little middle of the road, but not annoying. Easy listening hip hop.

Goes on a bit

Nice vibe, I enjoyed it enough, though not my favourite genre.

I don't really like rap.

I dig some of these tunes, but some don’t hold up for me. And I am sick of hearing about NYC neighborhoods getting name checked

Instantly forgettable rap for me. Nothing really caught my ear apart from the odd decent line and a few nice bass riffs. I actually forgot this was on, just blended into the background.

Kopfnickeralarm

Decent. Not a fan of rap so didn't care too much for it. (50%)

Nice to listen to to transport yourself to a different time and place, not doing much for me musically though

Fine, chill vibes, but not a hip-hop guy personally. Interesting start to this journey though 2/5

Good but very explicit

I really want to like rap but I think a lot of the subject matters in this album just don’t speak to me. Perhaps reading the lyrics ahead of time and musing over them will help…

lyrics were really impressive and I liked some of the beats. Hip-hop is just not my genre. Top Tracks: 1) Represent 2) Memory Lane

Eh.

I am not the biggest hip-hop fan and I am sure this is a great album for those who are, but it's not for me. I have trouble listening to songs where there is only one repeating beat going to whole song. The flow of the singing is what should be focused on which when I was listening is good, but I tend to zone out a lot with the repetition

Ik heb geen zin in rap

Pretty fine as far as rap music goes, I liked the instrumentals. Not my thing though

Never knew nothing about this before listening. Not the era not any songs no nothing. I maybe knew that Nas was a rapper. That’s it. And I’m tripping. It had interesting jazzy samples. No doubt someone who knows more about rap could dig into this deeper, but upon first listen, I cannot.

Better than 6ix9ine, not quite as good as Kendrick Lamar. It’s very well made, but suffers from endemic issues in earlier rap, which might have to do with technology or just the state of development the genre was in at the time. The beats and samples are too monothematic, looping ad infinitum for most of the song. I feel like triumph of Kendrick was dependent on the variety of musical moments in his songs. Pretty good, but once you’ve listened to a song for 30 seconds you’ve gotten the point. At least the album is short: so many artists push for an hour of music when they’ve scarcely got 40 minutes of good material.

Well as far as rap albums go this was one of the better ones in that there was at least some decent music in the background. Not amazing but listenable for the most part. I’m still going to give it a harsh 2*. It’s just not my genre.

Heard this album recommended a lot but was underwhelmed.

Didn't click with me.

Not for me

I can appreciate it but it didn't do much for me

Bruh, pretty boring, every song kinda sounded similar and not very interesting.

Pretty boring and forgettable songs. Acted well as bland background music while I did my homework.

Iconic

Interessante, ha un buon ritmo, ma non è esattamente nelle mie corde.

Feels as if Nas could be bringing a whole other level of wordplay, but is taking it easy and only giving us a casual attempt at MCing. This is reflected in the beats, where every track seems to hone in on a 3-note sequence to repeat endlessly rather than opting for a longer, more interesting loop.

He's got some good rhymes, but I'm not big into hip hop and it's very samey the whole way through. The score came down the more I listened. 2.5 rounded down to 2.

Hip hop. Coñazo.

Kinda boring

Not really for me BUT I can appreciate it

meh, it's Okay I guess, but it's still rap.

not an east coast rap guy as much

Love nas but don’t love Illmatic due to where my current music taste lyes. It’s deep New York, drum heavy rap in an era that lacked much other sound in hip hop.

Didn't light up. Bit of a dud.

I want really listening. There was some good ones in there, but it's all a little gangster isn't it?

I liked the old school hip-hop basslines and beats. Overall the album didn't grab me.

its ok (very biased ok)

Respect for the lyricism but unfortunately not a single song on this album is likely to stay with me after today.

A lot of the starting songs seem either very basic lyrically, or their instrumentation clash. Surprisingly, it does get better after that - I would generally find that songs get worse as you progress through an album, but I found the best songs around the middle of this one. I'm not the biggest fan of 90s Hip Hop, but this one did have my attention for some of these songs. For the others, not so much.

I understand he grew up in a bad situation but overall these lyrics are just too violent for me. I did like the beats that were used underneath the rapping though

it falls in the "i can appreciate it but it's not for me" bracket

Yeah nah

Not gonna discredit it but it’s just not for me!

p729. 1994. 2 stars. Hip-hop/rap. Not my thing at all, so 2 stars. Like the bass and production though, and there are a couple of OK tracks like Life's A Bitch. On the whole, 40 mins of my life I won't get back.

Veit at detta albumet blir rekna som veldig bra, men eg berre forstår ikkje koffor Ikkje min sjanger Life's a bitch and then you die e ein bra quote då, så + for den

Får jo lyst til å spilla GTA San Andreas, men gir meg ikkje så masse meir

It's just not the genre for me.

Know what I'm sayin'? No I don't, nas

I made it through the whole thing but I can't say I enjoyed it

Boring raps, with dull backing samples that sound a bit like jazz-esque background music they'd play in a restaurant. Just a bit meh all the way through

Does nothing for me

Not my type of music none of the songs stood out to me and not an album I would listen to again soon

Boring

Meh

Yo, I can't pretend I understand or can relate to this music, but I don't hate it and I can listen to it. I probably won't again, it's just that it's not my kind of music. Ya know what I'm saying...

Not my genre and nothing special here to enjoy

Not my cup of tea

Not bad as far as rap goes, but just not my thing. 2 stars.

not a genre I listen to to.

Not for me.

Perhaps one of the most overrated albums.. ever. I unironically think 2018's NASIR blows Illmatic out of the water in terms. Even if I compare this to a different record and artist entirely, such as Check Your Head by the Beastie Boys, that has more tight and snappy beats, sounds less repetitive, and takes more repetitive risks. I do not understand the hype here, at all.

Not my thing

no me copo mucho, pero es algo que el genero tampoco me copa.

Ouch! Too spikey for me.

2/5 Not my kinda music.

Not my favourite genre of music but for rap it’s more than listenable. While I did enjoy the pleasant flow it’s not an album I’ll actively seek to play again. If ‘90s rap is your style though, you’ll probs really dig it. 2 Stars!

The good news about Illmatic is it's sonically pleasant. The beats have flava (shoot me for using the slang) and the samples are tasteful, well-chosen and varied. There's some nice scratching on The World is Ours and Memory Lane. Olu Dara's sinuous trumpet lines are welcome on Life's a Bitch. Unfortunately, it's all downhill from there. There are few new insights here, just the same old gangster rap tropes and DJ braggadocio you've heard a million times before. Okay, that might be a little harsh. Nas redeems himself slightly as a storyteller on Memory Lane and One Love, which have a palpable sense of place and an elegiac, melancholy tone, unusual in rap. Unfortunately, Nas' raps are rhythmically remedial. They're fluid enough, but lack creativity and variety. Frankly, Illmatic mostly bored the shit out of me. One small blessing: the usual misogyny and homophobia are kept to a minimum. 1 1/2 points for the musical backgrounds, 1/2 point for the raps. 2/5

2/5 it was somewhat tiring

Writes well, but not into the genre.

I can understand why people think this album is so great, but it's really not for me.

Vind rap best tof, maar dit kon me niet bekoren.

Hmja, wat kan ik hier nou nog over zeggen? Niet zo'n heel boeiend album.

Boring.

Hiphop dieser Ära: ikonisch und doch mono. Ich darf mich glücklich schätzen, erst etwas später eingeschaltet zu haben, als Message, Samples, Struktur als Ganzes ein neues Level erreichten. Nas ist schon okay, aber für meine Lesart ein stepping stone zum goldenen Ufer. Kendrick gibt mehr als 1.9

Hip hop clásico

Explicit at F*(^

Not my favorite of 90's rap but definitely not bad at all

Not for me, not my thing.

it was okay, I cant say any tracks got me excited

molto rap

Couple interesting songs outside of the unnecessary language

Some classic tunes on there but not for me.

Not my style

Hyvähkö kokonaisuus, muttei säväytellyt kertaakaan. Parempaakin Nasia kuultu.

I'd never heard of Nas before, and when I found out he was a rapper, I wasn't expecting to enjoy Illmatic. I was right, I didn't like it. The album felt boring and repetitive, and I couldn't help but think I'd just wasted 40 minutes of my life.

God awful shite

Straight and to the point. It was good.

Annoying, rude, bombastic...
