Round 1: Nas - illmatic vs dr. Dre - the chronic

[Rasan]

this is going to be a tough one!

 

[illuminati_guy]

as good as chronic is, it can't touch lyrically illmatic, maybe beats are equally good, but its whole different vibe

 

[0R0]

the beats are way better on chronic imo, just like the lyrics on illmatic are way better.

Illmatic is the pinnacle of lyrical excellence. Best album ever

 

[Nuttkase]

AZ's verse on Life's a Bitch alone trumps The Chronic as a whole.

Illmatic hands down! I've never heard of a rapper outshine the production quality of an album. Plus no diss tracks to hype the album either. The Chronic is more like a compilation/ghostwrite experiment album that struck hip hop gold, but Nas wrote everything himself and was selective of his beats, a real MC

0oh shit this a tougth one both them albums was thang in the 90s. Imma have to pull both up on my tab now and skimm thru

 

[Darkshowdown]

Im skimming thru now honestly the chronic sounds outdated to me now. so im going with Illmatic. THE WORLD IS YOURS STILL SOUND RAW TO ME NOW. ILLMATIC STILL TIGHT

 

[Darkshowdown]

AZ's verse on Life's a Bitch alone trumps The Chronic as a whole.

imo AZ always outrapped nas on all their collabos. AZ goyt few classic albums under his belt

 

[Darkshowdown]

these two songs are the best nas & az collabs imo

 

[Palmer]

Sure, The Chronic is a classic, no denying that. To say that it's better than Illmatic is about the gayest shit I've ever heard though.
