But if you don't see what's great about Illmatic than you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the genre. Probably you're just too inexperienced. Like any science, you may need to have historical knowledge of Rap Music to appreciate the album.

That's ok I don't take offense.
I think that's a pretty far fetched thing to conclude though. I don't think it's really fair to dismiss one's knowledge judging by one perception of an album. Perhaps I have a different standard, but I've accumulated enough to reach it.
Perhaps you could enlighten me as to why you think this is so essential fundamentally to rap?
