Nas - Illmatic [Import] (New Vinyl LP)

Top 500 #44

German Import – Nas burst right out of the box with a classic: his 1994 Columbia debut, which teamed him with Q-Tip, DJ Premier, Large Professor and Pete Rock. The absolutely killer beats they contributed back Nas”s swaggering, street-tough rhymes; this album was the epicenter of NYC rap in ”94 and it sounds every bit as raw and powerful today: “”N.Y. State of Mind,”” “”Halftime,”” “”It Ain”t Hard to Tell,”” “”Represent,”” “”One Time 4 Your Mind,”” “”One Love,”” “”Life”s a Bitch”” and more. Import vinyl pressing! Columbia Europe.
