Best Album 1994 Round 1: Illmatic vs Fear Itself (A)

vs.

Illmatic

Even Casual would pick iLLmatic.

Illmatic by default and either way.

I have heard both of these! Yes!

I vote for

That's how it was and Illmatic is how it is......lls

Poor Casual. I like that album, but it ain't fuckin with Illmatic.

Fear Itself isn't half bad. Its a shame its going to go out this early.

Nas wins this.

Yep

Illmatic is G.O.A.T.

Nasty

Casual

Tran is a bitch, but what else is new!

Because he prefers the Casual album?

ZOMG! How dare he vote against the greatest collection of songs ever pressed to a CD, or recorded on cassette?!?!?!

Not everyone thinks Illmatic is the end-all and be-all of hip-hop albums.

Tran's a bitch for more than just that reason, but yeah his horrific hip hop taste is one of them.

Is it that hard to respect others' opinions without having to resort to name-calling?

Apparently. Illmatic takes it for me

Oh Illmatic takes it up the ass for you homo? Wow man talk about being a COMPLETE HATER. GTFO! You aren't hip hop like me!

No, if any album other than Illmatic did that against Illmatic, I would be a hater. You can't be a hater if you're intercoursing with Illmatic

Wait a second...

Are you saying...

NAS IS GAY?

OMG. NAS is NOT GAY!!!!!! You are just a NAS HATER!

The funniest thing is Tran apparently forgot to actually vote in the poll. That one Casual vote is mine. I spin that album way more than Illmatic.

You spin everything more than Illmatic, because like Tran your taste sucks too.

Listen, I like the Casual album. But on the real comparing it to Illmatic is like comparing JJ Stokes to Jerry Rice, or a Corolla to a Bentley. Illmatic is infinitely better in every way imaginable.

Dude calls me names all the time, yet nobody ever takes my side when he does it. GTFOH with that BS.

Some people get the exact same use out of a Corolla than they do a Bentley. Last I checked Fear Itself and Illmatic had the same MSRP. I'm not going to sit here and run the same tired arguments again. Some people prefer other albums to Illmatic, that is a fact that will not change.

All CD's have the same MSRP for the most part, that has nothing to do with quality. And of course y'all Mexicans like smaller cars so of course y'all get more use out of Corolla's...now before you and the other jabronies here in this forum accuse me of being racist, don't front and act like y'all don't know the stereotype. Jokes like that get made all the time, even by mexicans themselves. But the thing is, if you can afford a Bentley, you're not gonna buy a Corolla.

As for these CD's, I've said my piece and you know how I stand. I'll be voting for Illmatic the entire tourney and hope it wins. Not only because it's my GOAT, but to piss off haters like you and Tran.

"Not only because it's my GOAT, but to piss off haters like you and Tran. "

LMAO! If Tran or SRP said they were going to vote against Illmatic to piss off fanboys, you would have such a fit

That's EXACTLY what they're doing (or at least going to do) they just haven't said it.

If I could afford a Bentley, I wouldn't buy a Corolla. I wouldn't buy a Bentley either.

I drive a Corolla (can't remember what year the model is... pretty recent though) and all I can say is fuck the haters. It is a great car, really reliable, and cost efficient. I recommend it if you don't have enough money to buy a Bentley.

It's a good car, but it's inferior to a Bentley as you just pointed out. Just as Fear Itself is a good album but it's inferior to Illmatic.

Define "inferior?" What makes a Bentley superior? Other than the price tag? If I need something to go to and from work every day, what would make the Bentley better for that purpose?

And round my way, where we actually have Mexicans, unlike CT, the stereotype is that Mexicans prefer trucks. I've actually never heard the stereotype we like small cars.

A Corolla will last much longer than a Bentley

There's plenty of Mexicans in CT although there's likely more Puerto Ricans. Both from what I've seen seem to dig small cars. Bentleys are one of the smoothest riding luxury cars, have a ton of features, and look awesome. Any car that's reliable will get you to and from work every day. But if you can afford a Bentley then you'd be crazy not to cop one.

What if I don't like the color? Or the big engine scares me? Or I think luxury is overrated and a waste of resources on this earth?

Mexicans around here like trucks with a wolf mural on the back window.

Exactly.

I'd think Bentleys look awesome, except for the fact that I'm not blind, and I do know better.

If I could afford a Bentley, I'd just keep saving and get an Aston Martin instead.

I hope your mom slaps the bitch outta you one of these days. A grown man wearing fuckin' panties is fuckin' disgusting man. Grow the fuck up. People have opinions, they like what they like. I don't give a damn if you dig what I dig, I listen for my ears only.

I just voted...I bump that album a lot more than Illmatic. Hell, I reach for all my Heiro/Souls/solo albums in my collection more than I do Illmatic.

Looks down and sees Hanes boxers...nope no panties here.

Anyways, I wish I were close enough to slap the bitch out of you, but then again I'd end up killing you and going to jail for murder because you're a straight up bitch through and through so it wouldn't be worth it. You're entitled to your opinions, just as I am to mine. And in my opinion, your rap taste sucks ass! Have a nice day.

Why do you care so much over what I listen to? It's funny you keep saying you don't care about what other people think, but yet you are always quick to diss them with they don't agree with yours. Grow the fuck up man. Maybe grow a couple balls in process.

It's funny how I voted for what album I like, didn't diss on Illmatic or anything. Didn't put no sleeping icon or anything like that and yet the fucker still diss. When will this fucker grow the fuck up and stop being a fuckin' hypocrite???

You're the fucking hypocrite, you swear that you don't care what I have to say or think about your rap taste, yet you're sittin up here like a bitch on her menstral cycle that ran out of tampons. It's hilarious, really.

umm I just want you to grow the fuck up. Let ask you something, why do you always gotta try to diss when I don't like what you like??? Why? Fuck off next time man.
