Were are doing some history of Hip Hop in the 1996 and up til 2014 and I have my own music to add this history of music:In 1994, Nass debut album, Illmatic, was finally released. It was awarded Five Mics from The Source. It also featured production from Large Professor, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, L.E.S. and DJ Premier, as well as guest appearances from Nass friend AZ and his father Olu Dara. The album spawned several singles, including The World Is Yours, It Aint Hard to Tell, and One Love. Shaheem Reid of MTV News called Illmatic the first classic LP of 1994.[16] In 1994, Nas also recorded the song One on One for the soundtrack to the film Street Fighter. In his book To the Break of Dawn: A Freestyle on the Hip Hop Aesthetic, William Jelani Cobb writes of Nass impact at the time:Steve Huey of Allmusic described Nas lyrics on Illmatic as highly literate and his raps superbly fluid regardless of the size of his vocabulary, adding that Nas is able to evoke the bleak reality of ghetto life without losing hope or forgetting the good times. Reviewing Nass second album It Was Written, Leo Stanley of allmusic believed the rhymes to be not as complex as those in Illmatic but still not only flow, but manage to tell coherent stories as well. About ranked Illmatic as the greatest hip hop album of all time, and Prefix magazine praised it as the best hip-hop record ever made.youtu.be/uOBY7-9Vwbk
