Title. It's the truth, not deniable. Illmatic sounds like dust compared to IWW.

Get at me bruh.

I'm torn. Overall I think illmatic is better but when you look at individual songs I enjoy The Message, I Gave You Power, and If I Ruled The World better than almost everything on illmatic.

No way, only a communist would say that. OP, are you a communist?

 

[brianjones]

I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that

 

[Remark]

No way.

Explain.

 

[agrajag]

Explain.

It was too overproduced. And no song on it even comes close to the musical bliss that is Memory Lane.

 

[RC]

It's like choosing which one of your children you love more.

A few years ago, I might've agreed with the OP, now not so much.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

People that say this tend to be younger than the people that copped Illmatic on Day 1.

Not true.

Illmatic sound quality is horrible. Beats are decent at best, Nas is the only one who makes them sound decent. IWW has hits upon hits and painted more of picture of what he was living through than Illmatic did. Black Girl Lost and Street Dream are classicsssssss.

You should go to the ER. you seem to have suffered a direct hit to the brain. You must seek help OP.

 

[Bread]

Lmao nah bruh

Nah

Got Illmatic in 94'

Ok.

Just because I didn't cop day 1 (Which a lot people didn't anyway seeing as the shit was bootlegged to hell right after release) doesn't prove anything.

I'd imagine people younger (like me) just would go to Illmatic and then work their way up.

And not come to this conclusion.

Nope.

Truth is truth when you see truth.

You whack emcees!

I'm not mad at the OP for saying that, I have tremendous love for both... but I respectfully disagree.
