13016660, Illmatic gets over for being concise and the high level of rapping
Posted by Selah, Thu May-05-16 12:19 PM
but for being "10 songs with no filler" the first is a throwaway and two are particularly "meh" (one time for your mind and represent) and those looped beats throughout can EASILY get sonically irritating due to repetitiveness. AND the subject matter doesn't vary much. a good debut for sure.
meanwhile
i don't think the rapping skills shown by either Big or Dre on Southern.. is demonstrably worse than Nas on illmatic AND it's sonically (instrumentally) more varied AND it's longer so a track-for-track comparison would leave Illmatic lacking
