  • Tevediggs, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Nas will never make a better album then Illmatic. Hip hop has changed so much since those days, nothing he produces could ever have the same impact.
    • Pvisi111, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1I totally agree. Illmatic was his best and will always be his best. I do like Stillmatic though too. I really don't think rap will ever top the mid-90s with artists like Nas, 2pac, and Notorious BIG at the top of their game (even Puff Daddy and the Family). It's a shame now what's considered "great rap" is soulja boy.
