wish i could play illmatic for the first time too @Goo

Whatever happened to @Goo ?

That’s u my guy. It ain’t hard to dedicate time to one album a day

Guess I’m built different

That’s dedicating a month of your life to an artist you don’t even know you like and don’t give me that s*** I guarantee I’ve listened to way more rap discographies than you

Keep doing u I guess

He has an interesting disco for sure. Kinda different peaks and lows. So it’ll be interesting listening back to back like that for you.

You too enjoy Block Brochure (all 6 of them ) can’t remember hearing an E-40 album much shorter than an hour

when he gets to summer on smash

banned but i remember even him don't know why, i remember reading some mod here hold a grudge on him
somebody even cancelled his wu-tang thread

okay i’ve listened a few more times now

Illmatic is an album we’re gonna be listening to and talking about for way more than the nearly 30 it’s been out

This really does feel like the real blueprint for hip hop and a perfect origin story for Nas, it’s so raw and cold and you really get dragged into that time and place of NY and his pen game on this elite he jumps and weaves around the beats so perfectly it’s insane, definitely one of the most important albums of all time and i’m excited to see where he evolves from me

don’t even wanna give this a number rating it’s a straight classic all the way

Favourite tracks: Halftime, World Is Yours, NY State of Mind, NY State of Mind, Life’s a B****, One Love, Represent

Least favourite: One Time 4 Your Mind

@Uhhhhhh started one of the dopest trends oat on here

U feel better now? 🙄 chill out

Brah u mad at e-40 or me? 😂 like did either of us do anything to u?
@Aftermathbws

Sorry for the banter op nas one of my favorite rappers oat

I’m chill bro, just having a laugh

Illmatic is perfect front to back

definitely my fav album of his

You taking it wrong, just don’t see anyone being interested in an E-40 album beyond ghetto report card… and there’s a lot of albums after that one. No way you’re actually getting through them all

@SlapFiend just looked and he has 17 albums after ghetto report card not counting the 2 he did with too short and they’re all about an hour long, feel for you bro

Have faith my guy. I’m well prepared to get thru his discography

I like his voice, his style, might be getting into a few dud albums here the next few days (not today Charlie hustle is raw af), but i think after those his albums are pretty consistent. Yeah he’s got like a quadruple album and a sixtuple album in the 2010’s but doesn’t mean it’s bad music

One a day like a vitamin

Idk why u doubt me rn brodie lol I get e-40 gets allot of hate but his albums go really hard tbh

One of Kendricks favorite rappers if that means anything to you

@Aftermathbws btw maybe we should take this convo into my E-40 thread? 😂

It’s hard for a man to follow up such a classic album especially when it’s his debut

It Was Written > Illmatic for me

Very close though

I never understood this and I enjoy IWW

The production on Illmatic is so much more timeless imo

Just find myself coming back to IWW more often
