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.

Undoubtedly the Best
This is undoubtedly the best Hip-Hop Album of all time. A display of Nas' lyricism and storytelling. All hip hop fans should have this album in their collection.Where artists today feel the need to pack an album with 15 to 20 songs Nas' debut has only 10, but it still packs a lot more feeling than 90% of the so called rap released today. Every single song on the album is a classic with age this album only gets better and it's a shame Nas didn't continue this standard.You should own Illmatic.
