Illmatic

[DrRapid]

I just downloaded Illmatic just cause i don't know much about Nas so I wanted to see if I liked him. My question is, are there only 10 songs?Cause it doesn't seem much for it being his best album.

10 songs with no skits and intro's .


A lot of albums use to have less than 18 tracks back in the days, since albums were also printed on Vynils and cassetes, then when CD's were introduced, albums had to fill the extra space provided by the CD Format.

btw the album is classic it changed rap in the early 90's .

Check out NY State Of Mind, it's dope from start to finish, and might just be his best song, which is saying something.

That's one of the things I love about Nas, no skits, intros or interludes, just solid track after solid track.

Props
i wanted to check on him so if i like him i'll get more of his stuff

Check out the "Educate Da Forum" sticky at the top of this section, it has a lot more info on Nas, and links to all his albums and some of the links to his best songs might still be active!

Check the Rakim one while youre there, that's a must!

[DrRapid]

No, not after illmatic, only one album i think: Streets Disciples, which only had a few, and it was a double album. There aren't any on Gods Son or Hip Hop is Dead.

classic album may only be 10 track but you'll play them over and over and over again

on nastradamus half of the tracks were skits xD

N-A-S NAS (fades out) nas nas nas

on nastradamus half of the tracks were skits xD

Wrong, it had an intro and an outro. That's not half the tracks, it's about 1/8th of the tracks. There's nothign wrong with having an intro 'n outro.

:unsure: one day maybe someone wll start to continue educate the forum.

I know man, it's been on my mind, but haven't had the energy to get back into it. It takes around 2 hours to search out and find all the links, and post them all correctly. I`ll try and get back into it soon.

I thought some of ye were gonna help me with them?

i said if u need help get at me about what ya need help with....

I said yeah cool, you can do Ice Cube, and Asp could do Mf Doom. But ye didn't do them, although you might have been waiting on me to say which order I wanted them done in. It's now official you can do them now, but try to stick to the same font sizes, bolds and colours as I did in the other 2. I want to keep them all looking the same.
