Illmatic

ubu

So what's your favourite track off illmatic? This album has gone down as one of the best Hip-Hop albums in history and has to be one of the best and most complete albums i own, so im just interested to see everyone elses opinions on it, for me my favourite track on the album comes down between The World Is Yours, Halftime, One Time For Your Mind and It Ain't Hard To Tell, i couldnt really choose between these great songs so just picked The World Is Yours in the end, the only song i don't really like as much as the rest is One Love, the beat just annoys me slightly, i dunno why.......anyway get voting!

It Ain't Hard To Tell

Orizio

Life's a bitch.Second fave song of all time.Two incredible verses.

After that Halftime or Memory Lane.

Tha Gopher

Tough, probably New York State of Mind. Such a dark atmosphere to it

Apparently, the first verse was flawlessly recorded on the first attempt

"Inhale deep, like the words on my breath
I never sleep, cos sleep is the cousin of death"


Second would have to be Represent
""They call me Nas Im not your legal type of fella
Moet drinkin marijuana smokin street dweller.....
Cold be walkin with a bop and my hat turned back
Love commitin sins and my friends sell crack......."

One time for ya mutha****in mind.


This post is dedicated to everybody in Dublin thats livin a real ****in life

Ay Cee

It Aint Hard To Tell is actually my least favourite track on the album.

I went for Represent after that probably One Time For Your Mind.

Seaneh

My fave Hip-Hop song is Rather Unique.Rapper is AZ, from his Doe or Die album(Basically Illmatic number 2) and produced by the legend that is Pete Rock.5 minutes of perfect Hip-Hop.

Thats on Life's a Bitch:
"I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty years of blessing
The essence of adolescent leaves my body now I'm fresh in
My physical frame is celebrated cause I made it
One quarter through life some God-ly like thing created"

Coincidentaly, AZ is on the other verse on that song, the only guest spot on the album and 'tis a quality verse.

Executive Steve

halftime! proper proper proper battle rhyme business.... the verses in that are just a complete inspriation to me, the delivery, the pacing, the breath control... perfect.
