    Nas is the GREATEST... and though "Illmatic" will forever remain a treasure for its lyrical prominence, Nas really stepped it up with "Life Is Good". So many compare the 2 classics, there really isn't a comparison... the maturity of a 38-year old thrashes that of 20-year old. Not to mention, that same lyrical fountain that poured out in 94' is pourin out in 2012.

    Illmatic is THE best Hip-Hop album ever made .

    If you don't believe me, get yourself a copy and check it .

    It truly is fantastic from the opening beat to the end . It's a gem.
