Timlaska's Top Ten-est Albums - Number 1 (New-3/18)

the chick >>> the guy that kicks half his verse in spanglish

I think what makes Aquemini special mostly is the fact that it aged brilliantly and that it is so varied and multi-dimensional. Illmatic sounds like a 90s NY rap album, Aquemini sounds like it could have been recorded last year.

I also rank this above Illmatic because of the many different styles andre and big can successfully spit, where as Nas pretty much has one style, one flow (one mic?)

Witchdoctor definitely has a better verse than ole girl. Haha.

Taking NOTHING away from Illmatic, the above statement is true.

I know you're hyperbolizing but you gotta know that's not even close to true.

if we are living in a world where an album the caliber of illmatic already came out and then this bizarro world version of illmatic came out now i think it would be true. how many people have copied that formula to less than amazing results.

Either way, it doesn't make that statement any less funny.

true, but the fact remains it's an amazing album, regardless of when it came out. I stopped checking for new Nas shit a long time ago, if he dropped illmatic NOW, it would blow my mind. Keep in mind, that in today's market, anytime some drops a half way decent album, people lose their minds.
granted there are all sorts of time constraints in this argument considering tha landscape of hip hop would be completely different if that album never came out...so it's not really worth getting into.
but yeah, aquemini is dope.

you are like arguing with a brick wall that would rather have a keith harring piece than a lee piece. in other words your opinions suck.

basically. it would take a season of lost to explain the time travel implications of making this happen

I'm seriously considering locking this thread. The last two pages are some of the worst in this forum's history.

I don't think you're prepared to consider the ramifications of an alternate universe where Illmatic came out after Harlem World.
