    NAS: Illmatic LP really is one of 5 best rap / hiphop albums ever. Not that
    long, but all those 10 tracks are dope. When you compare this material to
    his later material, you can definetely say " Nas fell off". One of the only
    surprises being
    "Nas is like" -single from last year. Ofcourse it was produced by Premier,
    who produced some good tracks on illmatic ("memory lane", "represent").
    Anyways, IMO best track on Illmatic is "Halftime" - the first Nas solo track
    ever.
