i came in to say this exact thing. don't know what you would put number one, but to me "illmatic" is second only to wu-tang's debut.

Illmatic is one of the most solid bricks in rap history ever created. Along with The Chronic, 36 Chambers, Doggystyle, Paid in Full and a few others were revolutionizing albums in hip hop (titled the golden age). They were the ones who changed the entire flow style from the old to the new

Yes! an amazing album, memory lane, ny state of mind, one love, incredible, nas killed it on this one, too bad he never even came close to even equaling it. although it was written was good.

that's a rather unclear and kind of wrong definition of the golden age of hiphop |

Illmatic is awesome, it's just a shame that pretty much every album Nas did after it was average at best.

I wholeheartedly disagree. The G-Funk outbreak was one of the biggest hip hop movements in history, and Young MC and the Paid in Full album (Rakim) changed the entire flow style and rhyming schemes of hip hop altogether from artists such as Spoonie G, Young MC, S&P etc... into what we have today.

it was written is a great followup album...i am and nastradamus, iffier.
stillmatic and god's son were great returns, street's disciple was better than a double cd should be, and as far as hip hop is dead, please. straight brilliant. dude did a fuckin' song in an edward g. robinson voice. one of the 5 greatest lyricists in the history of hip hop. his choice in beats and personas i can't really rally hard for, though.
