Any opinion that differs from mine of course.
But nah no one has really said anything that is that bad. Illmatic having poor production is pretty bad but I can understand someone saying that. If you are into the more mainstream appeal of Hip-Hop then I can see how they would think that Illmatic, and 90% of other unheard of artists beats might be boring, too mellow etc. Like club goers who really like that side of Hip-Hop would probably think Illmatic was wak but whatever.
