90% of my appreciation for Nas is Illmatic. The mixes on that album are really cool. I do get where you’re coming from. Not interested in opening up a hip hop war right now but a lot of the time when I check out the hip hop you recommend I feel like there’s too much Nas in it actually. I think a lot of the hip hop you like is really influenced by Nas but that doesn’t mean you have to like him yourself (or even that I’m right)

I totally understand all of that. He had more punch on later albums, but was also much less interesting as an MC and going for songs he was hoping would get on the radio. But Illmatic is definitely pretty dry and undynamic in a lot of ways, but his flow is crack on that album. It's got a rhythm that circumvents a need for more sonically diverse sounds by virtue of its less showy but totally well-crafted flow. I can absolutely see why some might see it as boring but it's low key engaging as **** in a way that very very few MC's can match. At the very least you have to admit that not many but an MC on Nas' level could have released an album like Illmatic that was as good as Illmatic.

I freaked out the first time I heard this track.

Nas isn't lame but I can't be arsed with Hip Hop any more. Feel like I've heard it all before, nothing I hear excites me any more.

The only thing that could get me interested again is a new Outkast album or Andre 3000 solo album (a proper one).

Hells yeah. Some days I can't even think anything beyond self-righteous rage and I can't even convince myself the things I'm raging against don't deserve it. Cause it's possible I'm being irrationally angry about things that actually do deserve to be hated.
