Rate the Illmatic Songs

[Tonio1986]

The Illmatic got me constantly for 7 years now , unbelieveable this legendary masterpiece, it`s one for the ages. Shit, I shouldn`t bias you , so forget it. Anyway, let`s see how ppl rate every single song (excluding the intro). Do an objective rating with 1-5 stars, give just one song, the best song 6 stars. If this has been done before, I haven`t seen it, sorry.


NY State of Mind 4
Life`s a bitch 5
The world is yours 5
Halftime 4
Memory Lane 6 :thumb:
One Love 4.5
One Time 4 your mind 3
Represent 4
It ain´t hard to tell 5

Ps: It is really hard for me to choose between Life`s a bitch and Memory Lane. I wonder what you will choose. Peace.

NY State of Mind: 6 stars. This track is off the hook. nas keeps flowing
Life's a Bitch: solid 5 stars. Real moody track, great shit. AZ comes hella clean, Nas drops pure sniff.
World is Yours: 3.5 stars. dope track, but not feeling at as much as the others
Halfimte: solid fiver again ( ) nas spits so fluidly again.
Memory Lane: 4/4.5 another fantastic track. i love the mellow beat
One Love: 4 stars. Great song, great beat.
One Time 4..: 3 stars the weakest for me.
Represent: 5 stars!! right from the first seconds this track is hyped and "alive". And Nas comes again with verbal coke.
It Ain't Hard...: 4/4.5 stars. superb track. great album closer.


Favorite song is between NY State Of Mind, Represent and Halftime. Depends on my mood which is the current


I've rated the Illmatic tracks against each other, rather than against other albums' tracks. If i had to rate the tracks on a broader scale, i couldnt have done otherwise than give every track 5 stars
