Yeah, yeah
Ayo Black, it's time, word (word, it's time, man)
It's time, man (a'ight, man, begin)
Yeah, straight out the fuckin' dungeons of rap
Where fake niggas don't make it back
I don't know how to start this shit, yo, now
Rappers, I monkey flip 'em with the funky rhythm
I be kickin', musician inflictin' composition of pain, I'm like Scarface sniffin' cocaine
Holdin' an M16, see, with the pen I'm extreme
Now, bullet holes left in my peepholes
I'm suited up with street clothes, hand me a .9, and I'll defeat foes
Y'all know my steelo, with or without the airplay
I keep some E&J, sittin' bent up in the stairway
Or either on the corner bettin' Grants with the cee-lo champs
Laughin' at base-heads, tryna sell some broken amps
G-packs get off quick, forever niggas talk shit
Reminiscin' about the last time the task force flipped
Niggas be runnin' through the block shootin'
Time to start the revolution, catch a body, head for Houston
Once they caught us off-guard, the MAC-10 was in the grass, and
I ran like a cheetah, with thoughts of an assassin
Picked the MAC up, told brothers "Back up!", the MAC spit
Lead was hittin' niggas, one ran, I made him back-flip
Heard a few chicks scream, my arm shook, couldn't look
Gave another squeeze, heard it click, "Yo, my shit is stuck!"
Tried to cock it, it wouldn't shoot, now I'm in danger
Finally, pulled it back and saw three bullets caught up in the chamber
So, now I'm jettin' to the buildin' lobby
And it was full of children, prob'ly couldn't see as high as I be
(So, what you sayin'?) It's like the game ain't the same

Nas is a legend!!!
Nas's unparalleled lyricism and catchy beats dominate this wonderful track. It has had a profound influence on modern hip-hop and rap for good reason: it's awesome.
Best hip hop album if you aint agree you straight boolin son.
Lyrical masterpiece
Such a classic album. Best lyrical album of all time.
Simply the GOAT!!! And best album in the history of rap, no doubt!!!
This is a must own for hip hop fans. Right up there with "enter the wu-tang 36 chambers"
This is the greatest East Coast album of the 90s , Takes me back to ''1994'' , This is a must have for any 90s East Coast hip hop fan !!!
Glad I discovered Nas
One of the greatest hip hop albums ever created!! A true jewel, a true gem!!! Every hip hop head should have this part of their collection!!!
Best album in history
One of the greatest albums in hip hop history
It is time to stop referring to this album as a hip hop classic. This album is not one of the best hip hop albums ever made. For those who know, this is it. Illmatic is the most amazing, most influential, best written, best produced hip hop album ever. It's time to state the obvious, Illmatic IS the greatest hip hop album of all time. It will never be surpassed as Nas took hip hop it's highest level. Higher than even pre Doggystyle snoop or Bigge. This album is why Nas is the perennial frame of reference for all emcees. I want to be buried with this album in my casket.
Whole album is amazing, it's a classic
10/10
Nas' Illmatic may possibly be one of the best hip-hop albums of all time. It's crazy how such a young rapper at the time could pick up such great producers like DJ Premier and Pete Rock and guests like AZ and Q-Tip. It's amazing. "N.Y. State of Mind" is one of the greatest rap songs ever. Nas vs. JAY Z, they're so hard to compare.
This album is one of the very best! He's a story teller!
Best album of all time!!
Simply put, as of the date of this review this is the greatest rap album of all time.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
After watching "The Time is Illmatic" Documentary it really gave me insight on just how great this album was, and made me appreciate it even more. This album is truly timeless and deserves the endless praise because of beautifully crafted rhymes and beats.
Definitely in the Top Ten greatest Hip-Hop albums of all time.
This album is so inspirational
One of the best rappers of all time, and this is arguably his best work!
One of the best rap albums of all time. Production is top tier, Nas is one of the best lyricists and storytellers of all time. He does this with a smooth flow. 🐐
This is definitely an essential hip hop album without a shadow of a doubt. You can actually sit and listen to this whole album without skipping any tracks which not a lot of albums have been able to accomplish. Even though it was released 22 years ago this album still holds up today and just me a landmark in the hip hop/rap scene. Definitely worth the purchase.
The best of the best!
I'm a big fan of true hip-hop, i think money can't buy what Nas did for the culture, the mining and the flow is very superb
Nas is by far the best rapper in the game and this album shows it. This is real rap.
Love the song who's world is this my favorite son from the 90's
This album stands with the top 10 greatest hip hop albums of all time. It stands the test of time. Nas is beyond his years on this one.
Lyrics are alright. Thats about it
do not become a "shookone"! great flow, hard beats and all 0 fuks about anything! thats the m-o, BB!
The greatest album in rap history.
No questions asked, this is the verbal assassin’s best album, his first, and best hip hop album of all time. A close 2nd and 3rd would be It Was Written and Hova’s first album Reasonable Doubt. If you haven’t heard this, you haven’t heard the best hip hop has to offer. A timeless classic, enjoy, and thank you nasty Nas.
Nas the illest
An album. Nas's album. His first album. Talks about street life in NYC , great beats , excellent storytelling , poetry at its finest. Describes Hip hop 100%
THOMASTEKNO
Arguably the greatest rap album ever made.
This is without a doubt the greatest hip hop album of all time. With production from Q-Tip, Large Professor, Pete Rock, and L.e.s this album just can't be touched. Probably one of the most influential albums ever, you hear "The world is yours" sampled in Jay Z's "Dead Presidents" and even hear references in today's music with Logic and J. Cole. Literally, listening to this album changes your perspective on hip hop and life in general. From the dangerous opening of N.Y state of mind to the jazzy feel of the world is yours to the ledgendary verses of it ain't hard to tell, Illmatic is definitely the most intelligent and poetic album of the 90's as well.
Nas needs a triple b cosign to get this to be a classic
the title explains it all
Who in the hell would give this anything but 5??.... Those of you who gave this anything but that remove yourself from the culture please....
Simply a perfect album. My person favorites are ny state of mind and memory lane.
Not much more to say, Nas really blessed the world with this.
One of the best albums ever.
Rivals 36 chambers as best hip hop album ever
Hip hop never died, and never dies unless YOU die your self!!!!! Hip hop is what NAS displays thru out this Album, consciousness the everyday life of what goes on around you, what's good for you, what is bad for you, good decisions bad decisions and surviving it all putting it in music form where it doesn't sound like straight garbage or somebody else's music because some how it became a over rated over played single on the radio which was purposely forced into rotation to brain wash the masses!!!!!!!!!! Im out!!!!! Peace NAS!!!!!!! Swift Vader!!!!!!! Order66 the industry! We need Balance in the force, the Jedi must End!!!!!!!!!
Best 43 minutes in hip hop history
