"... and 'Halftime,' the debut single from the soundtrack of 1992’s Zebrahead, a film best remembered for having a soundtrack that featured 'Halftime.'"
13327433, Just finished reading - damn. That's, like, the perfect tribute.

13327431, Wasn't the 20th anniversary like last year for fuck's sake

Jesus christ. Time, man.
13327443, Yeah man, I thought that same thing.

We went to the show at the Kennedy Center for the 20th anniversary. I can't believe that was five fucking years ago. Holy shit.

Sunday night...but then again Illmatic is only 40 min long haha

13327454, feels like they just put out the 10th anniversary edition not too long ago

With a few remixes, On The Real, and Star Wars.

More time has passed since that came out than had passed between the original Illmatic and that edition. SMH.

I had this exact thought today.. I can’t believe 15 years have gone by since that silver illmatic cover.
13327645, every year is 5 years now.... feels like it at least

13327632, I had the same thought. And when that dropped

This?? Reminiscing about the 10th anniversary drop? Shiiit...


** On the Real was my shit though.

looking for the right folks to get behind. This dude's mixes look dope.

This Nas one though is on blast right now. Had to close my offie door to really get into.

Edit:
And this track-listing is enhancing the experience. Man, I need to be out in the car riding up and down these Baltimore streets with this on.
