"Not the one that's on the album. The one on the album is a remix." During the making of Illmatic, DJ Premier made one version of "Represent," then he heard what L.E.S. and Q-Tip did on "Life's a B*tch" and "One Love" respectively. It sent him right back into the lab.

The streets had illmatic bootlegged before it hit shelves. That's why it took so long for it to hit platinum.

@oskamadison 5 лет назад

Facts! When I was in college, there was a kid on campus whose moms worked for Sony and he had Illmatic months before it dropped and he hit damn near the whole campus off with copies, like that shit was TOO ill to keep to himself, lol. I still copped it the day it dropped...

@dominicanforever973 5 лет назад

@biggame2175 5 лет назад

Ready 2 die was bootlegged also it had no problem going platinum

@oskamadison 5 лет назад

Illmatic finally went gold right when It Was Written dropped and went platinum around Stillmatic time. In addition to the bootlegging, it didn't do heavy numbers initially because it was such a NY-centric album where Ready To Die had bigger, mainstream singles and had broader appeal. Truth be told, the real difference between the two albums was Puffy. Take him out the equation, Biggie would have been just another underground MC...

One thing I always liked about Illmatic was it had an intro and nine burners. thats it. No skits or interludes. This was when that type of thing was blowing up. LPs either had too many songs or too many skits. Some Cd's had 25+ tracks!

Nas should let his ribs touch for a few days and get with the illmatic legends and the cat Salaam Remi for an entire project. Son pops is a jazz musician...ask how how many times great jazz cats play with other greats on multiple projects, full length...he let Kanye do an entire album and you know son make beats with nine other dudes..... nobody expect another Illmatic son older than me but we know the music with those dudes could exceed Illmatic and Nas dont realize he would sell more records if he rocked with that lineup...Nasir wasn't hot shit and the Steve jobs nigga produced it word

@tochiRTA 5 лет назад

It didn't go super platinum because despite the many people that pretend to be heads/fans of hip hop, most people don't love the rugged, strange shit like that. Never have. They prefer the formulaic, simple shit. And don't get it twisted - Illmatic is a strange album. And that's partly why it's held the fuck up.

@OGNICKMARSH 5 лет назад

I see why he was a producer and not a rapper. That voice is…

He sounds different when speaks loudly. Check out the Mall by Gang Starr or Breaking' the rules by M.O.P. He has quite a unique voice and i can definitely imagine him rapping.

@Stress7820 5 лет назад

This young generation always wonder why old heads listens to this album??😒😒 this is why. That's why I tell my son do more if u wanna be a mcee not rapper.. cause there too many dumb ass rappers out here .

KD1, KD2, MAGIC & KD3 on the Way! With this album streak, NaS Catalogue is unmatched, 2nd to none, but I feel like Jay-Z is prepping something special due to how both he and NaS motivate each other with each album they put out. Right now NaS is definitely in the lead as Jay-Z is busy with family life and other business ventures. One Love!
