New Vinyl Record – Nas – Illmatic
Illmatic was actually a slow-burn, which might surprise fans that have come to its genius more recently. Despite an unheard-of 5 Mics in The Source despite an unwritten rule of never awarding classic status to debuts it didnt go gold until early 1996, and didnt hit platinum status until late 2001. But when you dive deeper that shouldnt be a shock: like Black Moon and Wu-Tangs debuts, it was a dark, hard record, made for heads in New York, not teeny-boppers in Des Moines. There were no dance beats, no crossover love songs. Just boom-bap and rhymes, skills and heart.”
