Fun fact: Nas was between 17&18yrs old when he was writing for this album...so in reality you're reacting to somebody about 5yrs younger than u that ended up being crowned the next savior of hiphop🔥let that sink in 😅

Thats wild!

Goosebumps listening to one of the goats. Homie was 19!! 19 y.o. and wrote a classic! Project poetry.

First time??? Bro, I wrote a Fiance paper on this song at Penn State, and won an award. Lol. Check out "Loco-motive".

I love watching the younger generation react to Nas. Especially that moment when you realize he’s the goat

This album, ILLMATIC is THE BIBLE OF RAP 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🐐

This was one take fam. Debut Album. This is how this young man introduced himself to the world!

Nas the GOAT! Great reaction bro! More Nas! Nas - It Aint Hard To Tell Nas - Represent Nas - Take It ain’t Blood Mobb Deep ft Nas & Raekwon - Eye For An Eye

Yeah, maybe if he just listened to it. And then evaluated it. Instead of pausing it. It would make sense to.

Yo, I own this album on Cassette bro! Illmatic is easily one of my favorite rap albums I own and I’ve been waiting for you to react to this! 😄 If you’re looking for other classics, here’s a semi short list: Angel - Mezzanine (1998, Massive Attack) Tonite - Quik Is The Name (1991, DJ Quik) Nine Dead Bodies - Judgement Day (1992, Esham) Fuck Wit Dre Day - The Chronic (1992, Dr Dre) Insane In The Brain - The Essential Cypress Hill (1993 - Cypress Hill) C.R.E.A.M [Cash Rules Everything] - Enter The Wu Tang [36 Chambers] (1993 - Wu-Tang Clan) Diary of a Madman - 6 Feet Deep (1994 - Gravediggaz) Shimmy Shimmy Ya - Return To The 36 Chambers (1995 - Ol’ Dirty Bastard) Renee - Lost Boys (1995 - Lost Boyz) Infinite [Single] - Infinite (1996 - Eminem)

Nas - Rewind Nas - I Gave You Power Nas and Raekwon - Rich and Black Nas - Book of Rhymes Alchemist ft Nas and Prodigy - Tick Tock Its mandatory you listen to all of Illmatic to be honest lol make it your choice if you want to listen to the whole album as a reaction or each song as a reaction, but you gotta check it all out. If I'm not mistaken the whole album is even in the Library of Congress as a piece of historical art.

The undisputed 🐐

"Plus the Island is packed" Referring to Riker's Island jail in NYC where cats do more time, in worse circumstances just WAITING for trial than the charge they caught would actually give them in prison!

BROOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Dude i bought 'Ready to Die' and 'Ilmatic' on the same damn day back in 95!!! Those trees have been providing fruit ever since!!! Classics!!!!

I like seeing you younger bros appreciate these old masterpieces. Keep the ears tuned!

This song is about him telling an old friend what the streets is like these days, and giving examples

Back in the day if your cassette player (Boom Box) wasn't on point it would eat your tape...unravel it while it was playing.

This 2011 Class is off the hook. YG,Kendrick,Yelawolf,Mac Miller and Meek Mill. Kendrick is my favorite from this list with Yelawolf right behind him. Good Kid m.A.A.d city is my favorite album. But To Pimp A Butterfly is right there. I actually go back and forth between these albums constantly lol. I’ve listened to everyone of his albums. I listened to Section.80 after I heard Good Kid. I like the track A.D.H.D. But my favorite Kendrick song is “Celebration” which is on his Kendrick Lamar EP. I like the sample he used which is Roy Ayer’s Ubiquity song “Hummin”. Kendrick is definitely killing it right now. The “Not like Us” video that just dropped was dope. Kendrick ain’t playing. These artists that I mentioned have sold tens of millions of albums combined. What Yelawolf has done in his career is also amazing. RIP Mac Milller. We have lost so many amazing artists to drugs and violence. I can’t even list the number of rappers who have been killed. It’s horrible shit. Adam 16 from No Jumper just had the dude that was there when Pop Smoke was killed in which he only got 4 years for which is absolutely crazy. I know that he was a minor ,17, years old when this happened but they charge minors as adults everyday. He said that he’s not sorry for what happened and he used the line from “Paid in full” when Alpo the Cameron character said “n*gas die everyday B”. When I heard that I was like “You piece of shit”. He did say that he wished that it never happened and he sent out condolences to Pop Smokes family but that he wasn’t sorry. He didn’t do enough time in my opinion and I bet that if he did more time that he would have felt differently about it. I will be very surprised if he sees 25 years old. Because he’s obviously still living that street life so it’s going to end badly for him anyway. He’s either going to be in prison for murder or something like that or he’s going to get smoked on the streets. That’s just what I see happening. RIP Pope Smoke.

You gained a follower for reacting to "Real Rap." I got tears of joy watching this!

Say less

This was also the experience in neighborhoods across the US in the 80/90s. That's why a white kid in West Alabama related immediately, and why he blew up.

Seriously, reading comprehension. His rhyme is a poetic composition. of his life
