jay-z is real comon before you make a stupid post do your homework he is the biggest bitter known in the game but retards like you put him in top 5, you cant be great if you steal other ppls rhyms and 1 last thing not a single person mentioned Big L that just shows none of you have a dam clue what real hip hop is, funny cause ima white boy, dueces

[xxQuikSk0p3sxx]

At least we have a couple people who know real rap and real music.......

[infernoKid2]

niggas is funny commenting......lol..one love

[MrGreenout]

Fantastic, This is the greatest rap debut album of all time! Although the sales were not through the roof, that was down to Nas, he was quite reluctant to promote the album before its release.

[Kankerzwijn]

this is too old for school :P

[hisbaby4forever]

of course all the good artist died early.. if they were still living today hip hop would better than how it is today.

[fgjbt69]

You can say whatever you want but that won't change the fact that ILLMATIC is best rap album ever!

[PivotDirector]

You cant put the classics in any order.

Hip hop just used to be pure talent.

Biggie, Pac, All of Wu tang, Nas, Big L, Mobb deep, you get the point.

New mainstream shit is just garbage.

@tjuras123 You are a homo.... eminem is not the best. His lyricism is limited because he's maintstream. and snoop shouldnt even be on here for the same shit, they both sold out. Why are you bringing that wack gangtster rap in this. The styles of nas and snoop are completely different. Bro dont get it twisted. you should be listing common, mos def, talib, de la, etcetera. You have much to learn =(

[tjuras123]

@diegoyankees0520 My list would be different now, its just the music i listened but now it would be different. Mos Def is in it;)

[deathslayer101]

@SouthSho450 hes older. hes not writing about the struggle cuz his is over. hes a big shot now. we cant assume that just because he got to where he was going he forgot where he came from.

一的爱

[Mr60610]

@SouthSho450 what, no love for reasonable doubt??!?!

[locedouttaggers]

@SouthSho450 who's 40 cent?? or is that short for e4o and 50 cent?? anyway if thats e40 i would have to agree with dude? e40 90's shit is dope..i still bump it

[rzzza1]

it's not about the amount of sales, it's about the critical acclaim. Illmatic got a ton of critical acclaim, and it ranks higher on the rolling stone best 100 albums than the marshal mathers lp.

[straightoutofVISA]

word up my nigga!! NAS is sick

[northkak1]

definetly what made hip hop what it is to day top 3 you feel me

[BeyondAllThings]

no doubt, this is worth listening to. Nas the poet mad talented, don't make em like this any more. Times changed.

[BeyondAllThings]

You gots to believe or you gots to be deceived no in the middle. One love

[MetsBaby]

nas is up there with big, pac, and big l

[SouthSho450]

i dunno man...

everyone say hes one of the best...

i know no one who dont like him...

hes one of the illests no doubt..

big up!

[rajiaubi]

I would have to say, he is one of the most under-rated rappers of all times.

[senthuran1332]

hes not underrated EVERYONE KNOWS NAS IS THE BEST

[rajiaubi]

WE think Nas is the best yet he has not sold as money records as someone like 50 Cent who I personally think of as shit....

[senthuran1332]

and thats wy record sales dont count for shit (excluding 2pac)

[rajiaubi]

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[kfcbisquitsmmgd]

nas has gone platinium 7 times...the only albums not to go platinium are hip hop is dead because it was wack... and untitled because he waited too long, peoplelost interest.

[bigno9]

illmatic barley did it and eminem went platnium 11 times on one album

[macker11]

"If you go platinum it's got nothin' to do with luck / it just means that a million people are stupid as fuck " - immortal tech

[macker11]

n thats in reference to whoever talked bout record sales

[bigno9]

or it means immortal technique is hating

[kfcbisquitsmmgd]

and NOT selling EVER... doodoo battter personality he has... people with personas and charisma sell... and people who don't don't... and that's when the hating begins.

[bigno9]

or it means immortal technique is hating fuck - me
