I've never visited New York but everytime I play Illmatic I'm teleported in Queens and I hear autobiographical tales of criminality, gangsters, ghettos, d****, prisons. Nas was a scarred young man too when he developed the third eye, most of the album was written during his adolescence.
Bro I remember when GTA V dropped, like a year after GKMC. Had me walking around the hood terrified, playing as Franklin tryna envision Kendrick’s story lmfao. Honestly made the album even better cause I got to, as corny as it sounds, experience being black in a way.

I respect this take. One of my all time 25 favorite albums any genre
Life essential , one of those albums I play at least 10 times a year.
Best Wu solo ever followed by Supreme Clientele
i like liquid swords better, but both are interchangeable
mafiaso rap really is the goat sub genre
Will never get the Liquid Swords hype. Can anyone name some iconic rap moments on that album like the plenty that are on OB4CL?

I wouldn’t go that far but Liquid Swords isnt better than Cuban Linx in any way idc what anyone says
Classic album still though
Ice Water, Glaciers Of Ice, and Verbal Intercourse might be the best run of tracks on any classic with other being Illmatic
