Nas - Illmatic (Limited Transparent Clear Vinyl)
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.
