I've always thought of this as the DSOTM of hip hop, but not always 100% positively. I've learned to love it again in this past month, though; "It Ain't Hard to Tell" is an absolutely extraordinary closer, and half a dozen other tracks are on its level.

A cautionary tale. Never record something this good as your first album - you'll spend the rest of your career with people going "okay but its not Illmatic" whenever you release anything.
