I bought myself a replacement copy of the two disc anniversary edition of Illmatic because my original is pretty beaten up. It was cheap, and I need to hear it every so often. Impulse buy at major chain. i didn't even take the plastic wrap off until several days later, when I was totally in the mood to blast it on my way to work- twenty second later I threw it into the back of my car.
It was the clean version!!! why do they even make those things!!!??
Course by then I had an insatiable urge to hear the album but only Nastradamus which is not my favorite.
