That **** is immense, and Nas just has this inflection that makes every line sound good. Without the tight, busy flow though he doesn't hold up when he's being lazy, like a lot of the rest of his career. He's definitely overrated, but Illmatic is still Nas at his potential and that's some fine ****. It's really the only essential Nas album though.
