'Illmatic' is the debut studio album by American rapper Nas, released in April 1994. Often cited as one of the best hip-hop albums of the '90s, 'Illmatic' is the undisputed classic upon which Nas' reputation rests. It helped spearhead the artistic renaissance of New York hip-hop in the post-Chronic era, leading a return to street aesthetics. Hip-hop fans accustomed to 73-minute opuses sometimes complain about 'Illmatic''s brevity, but even if it leaves you wanting more, it's also one of the few '90s rap albums with absolutely no wasted space. 'Illmatic' reveals a great lyricist in top form meeting great production, and it remains a perennial favorite among serious hip-hop fans.

Quite possibly the best hip hop album ever
Have loved this for nearly twenty years. Sad to say that many of the themes of the album are still relevant today just like they were when it was first released. Depravation, crime and drugs in many communities in America still cause lasting damage.

Undoubtedly the Best
This is undoubtedly the best Hip-Hop Album of all time. A display of Nas' lyricism and storytelling. All hip hop fans should have this album in their collection. Where artists today feel the need to pack an album with 15 to 20 songs Nas' debut has only 10, but it still packs a lot more feeling than 90% of the so called rap released today. Every single song on the album is a classic with age this album only gets better and it's a shame Nas didn't continue this standard. You should own Illmatic.

The pressing is good quality very clear. Unfortunately I received a sleeve that is damaged. The box I received the record in is not damaged so the record must have been damaged before packing….
