Illmatic'
is
the
debut
studio
album
by
American
rapper
Nas,
Originally
released
in
April
1994.
Often
cited
as
one
of
the
best
hip-hop
albums
of
the
'90s,
'Illmatic'
is
the
undisputed
classic
upon
which
Nas'
reputation
rests.
It
helped
spearhead
the
artistic
renaissance
of
New
York
hip-hop
in
the
post-Chronic
era,
leading
a
return
to
street
aesthetics.
Hip-hop
fans
accustomed
to
73-minute
opuses
sometimes
complain
about
'Illmatic''s
brevity,
but
even
if
it
leaves
you
wanting
more,
it's
also
one
of
the
few
'90s
rap
albums
with
absolutely
no
wasted
space.
'Illmatic'
reveals
a
great
lyricist
in
top
form
meeting
great
production,
and
it
remains
a
perennial
favourite
among
serious
hip-hop
fans.
