Billboard has named Nas' debut album, Illmatic, as the best rap album of all time.

There are worse choices...and yeah, Lauryn had a great album but not enough rap to be on this list...was it their way of making sure a woman made it?...seems like an odd decision
Very odd decision
The World Is Yours is the one I skip
Also I don't agree with it but

Well, they’re wrong
PE It takes a Nation of Millions is still #1, followed by Illmatic.
Me Against the World is Pac's best work, and it's not in the Top 10.
Reasonable Doubt or the Black Album is Jay Z best work.
Dark Twisted Fantasy, or Late Registration /Graduation over Lauryn - pick either one. Lauryn Hill is a pop/rnb album.
Ready to Die is the better of the Biggie albums.
Midnight Marauders would be in my Top Ten.
Id also probably argue for a spot for Kendrick Good Kid Mad City

No way in hell solo albums better than the best group albums
Agree and the same with Biggie with Ready To Die.
The way they had some of the order for Outkast was weird too.
Rakim is the goat and Paid N Full is the greatest album of all time.
Without Rakim changing the flow of rap none of the classics exist... especially illmatic.
My Top 10.
1. Paid n Full
2. The Chronic
3. Makaveli
4. 36 Chambers
5. Ready to Die
6. Reasonable Doubt
7. Illmatic
8. The misadventures
9. By any means necessary
10. Doggystyle

Reasonable Doubt was not even a top 5 album in 1996.

That remix went hard to me.
A top five rap album of all time that doesn't include Snoop Dogg's doggystyle it's just bullshit. I never got the draw of Nas anyway but I would switch him with Snoop in a fucking heartbeat.
I listened to it, but I just couldn't get into it as much as I got into snoop's doggystyle
Yeahhh Boyyee..You could listen to this from uptown to downtown with no skips...Thought provoking as well.
Illmatic has always been in the convo.
Always been a masterpiece.
Always been flawless.
At my age I still think of albums in "mic ratings".
There's been a few classic 5 mics albums.
Illmatic is one of those mythical 6 mics albums.

Word, the timing of Illmatic, the 5 mics from jump, and how it slowly blew up around the world cemented it in the best hip hop album conversation.
As it should. Both CDs went hard as hell. Shit still slaps.
True, Illmatic didn't blow up commercially like that. It wasn't that kind of album and Nas didn't have that kind of following at the time.
