Illmatic, Nas' debut album is an undeniable classic that instantly gave him respect in the rap game. The album is very interesting in the fact it relatively short,only 10 songs including an interlude, and having no notable guest appearances. Even in the interlude, the back ground music is Nas' verse on Main Source's song "Live at the BBQ". The album featured production by Q-Tip, Pete Rock, Large Professor, and DJ Premier. The album was filled with classics including New York State of MInd, Life's a Bitch and One Love. Nas was instantly a prodigy and was known for his excellent storytelling and portayal of how life is in Queensbridge. This album is considered by some to be one of, if not the best, hip hop albums of all time.

Hey man - have you heard Jay's new single Death of Autotune? I'm real anxious for the Blueprint 3 to come out this fall, can't wait! @ajrawls has a clip/review of the song.

The album may seem short, but it succeeds where a lot of hip hop albums don't in cutting out the mediocre tracks. It's a classic in part because everything on the album is great. You know there must have been twice as many cuts that didn't make it to the final product, but the restraint shown in picking only top notch tracks sets it apart.
