#GreatAlbums1990s - #Nas - #Illmatic (1994). Something of a sleeper hit, this disc brought Nas’s fluid and literary instincts to bear on tales of urban strife and reality drawn from his project housing roots in Queensbridge Houses, NYC. Nas’s jazz musician father apparently influenced music that tumbles and churns, as Nas’s streetwise persona elevates 2nd-generation East Coast rap with production help from Q-Tip, Pete Rock, DJ Premier and Large Pro.

Was huge fan of Nas's #illmatic when it came out. That's 1992 and I was 14 years old.
Try and understand where I'm coming from.
