	Nas . Nas's Illmatic A look at a hip-hop masterpiece, ten years removed [prefixmag feature]
		For all of the typical hip-hop posturing and rightly deserved hubris that can be found on Illmatic and throughout Nas's early career, the album's lyrics are blissfully unaware of their contradictions, not to mention their importance.
		The reason for this success is not that he exposed a snapshot of young fl men circa 1994, but what that snapshot reveals: a world outlook that tells us "life sucks so fuck it all," while still maintaining crew loyalties and fighting to survive.
		In Illmatic, you find the meaning not just of hip-hop, but of music itself: the struggle of youth to retain its freedom, which is ultimately the struggle of man to retain his own essence.

		Illmatic is considered by many to be one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time, and perhaps....
		The first thing you notice about the overall sound of Illmatic, is that it has a very underground feel to it, and never ceases to leave you amazed at the wordplay that Nas delivers from his vocal cords.

	IGN: Illmatic - 10 Year Anniversary Platinum Series Review
		Granted Illmatic did little for me back in '94, but now, 10 years later, I can't extract it from my CD player long enough to listen to anything else.

		Illmatic is a spry 39.49, skits and all.

	Retro "QB" Classic: Nas - Illmatic published by SOHH.com
		The Illmatic album, constructed from scratch by a hungry super emcee from the NYC Queensbridge Projects, and a handful of equally talented producers is a perfect example of a straight-up hip-hop album.
		Yes, history definitely repeats itself, but the Illmatic album was one of those joints that blazed its own path, and created its own yardstick for other albums to try and aspire to.
		The Illmatic album was released almost a decade ago, but the music on it sounds just as fresh now as it did back then.

	Amazon.com: Illmatic: Music: Nas (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Illmatic is a look back at a life spent in the culture of the projects, acknowledging joy as much as pain and taking note of violence as a fact of his environment rather than a focus of his life.
		True, Nas DID fall off a bit after releasing Illmatic, and his albums began to head towards a downward spiral of commercialized bling-bling rap (especially the dreadful Nastradamus), but come on.
		He was grouping Nas "Illmatic" with classics from Public Enemy and BDP as some of his favorite rap albums of all time.
