Below you will find my personal list of 10 records that should have been bigger than Illmatic. It's hard not to blame them, as most of the records listed below are either out of print (some for over a decade) or simply ignored by everyone but the most attentive fan of hip-hop. Ready To Die, The Chronic, Reasonable Doubt etc), seem to know little about the underground records that came out around the same time. Funny thing is, most of these people, while ostensibly being correct when comparing the record to other huge hip-hop albums of the time (ie. Several people (and plenty of websites and magazines) I know have recklessly claimed Illmatic, without a doubt, to be the greatest hip-hop record of all time. Every time Nas releases a new record, every hip-hop critic and fan reminisces on the greatness of his debut record, Illmatic.
