Whenever someone asks me what the greatest rap record of all time is, I throw ‘em three titles: Paid in Full, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, and of course Illmatic. That, to me, is the holy grail – the trinity if you will – of the golden era’s finest albums. And Illmatic, in my opinion, is absolutely flawless, thus earning the top spot amongst the trio. Each track is densely filled with Nas’ clever poetry and wordplay, plus the production is handled by some of the greatest beatsmiths of our time. The short run time, however, always made me hungry for some more.

Over the years I’ve collected a whole bunch of singles, remixes, beats and acapellas by Nas. Of course, the alleged 1991 demo tape had been creeping around the internet for years as well, so I had to snatch that up too. And then last night, while I was wrapping up that compilation, I figured I’d do something similar for Nas. What started as a one disc release – originally dubbed The Illmatic B-Sides – soon grew to two. Graphic Styles For Illustrator Free Download. And then I decided “what the heck, I’ll throw the demo tape at the end for kicks”.

All in all, this compilation is a 5-disc set chock full of b-sides, remixes, instrumentals, acapellas and other rarities from the Illmatic-era. And thus we traverse from The Illmatic B-Sides to The Illmatic Archives. Allow me to explain how the discs are divided. Disc one contains b-sides and remixes, mostly taken from Illmatic single releases. Dub Colossus Return To Addis Rar Files. Disc two is the full Illmatic album in instrumental form.
