In 1994 in Queensbridge, New York Nasir Jones also known as "Nas" released his debut album "Illmatic." Throughout this album, Nas brings us the full range of emotion whether it is the pessimistic "Life's a Bitch" or the oddly hopeful "One Love." Nas captures what it is like to live in the Queensbridge Projects. Where every day was a struggle and you were never truly safe this is "Illmatic" is Nas's most critically acclaimed album but it is his best album for a different reason. Now look, Nas is my favorite artist of all time and I love all of his albums I'm not saying that this is his only good album but it is his best out of all of them especially for a debut album. "Illmatic" is a roller coaster of an album with many different types of songs on it. My favorite part about this is how there are no party anthems on it. Throughout the entire album, there is no song that is made for clubs, each song has emotion and thought and is made for the lyrics not for the beats. There is also no one who has listened to that album who didn't feel a connection to one of the amazing songs on it. The album has amazing production and amazing lyrics it cannot be beaten. Keep in mind that this is my opinion you're entitled to your own. What do you think is the best Nas album?
