This title explores a key hip hop album marking the cross over
point where the streets and the charts collided. Contradiction the
simultaneous existence of two competing realities and larger than
life persona are at the core of "Nas' Illmatic". Yet Nas' identity
- as an inner-city youth, a child of hip hop and a Black American -
predicts those philosophical quandaries as much as it does its
brazen ambition. The artistic impact of Illmatic was massive. The
record finds its place in the greatest transition in hip hop up to
that point. Along with the Wu Tang Clan's debut from the previous
year, Illmatic put New York back on the map after a long period of
West coast, G-funk dominance. Nas also mapped out the laid-back
lyrical style that would usher in the modern era of hip hop. "33
1/3" is a series of short books about a wide variety of albums, by
artists ranging from James Brown to the Beastie Boys. Launched in
September 2003, the series now contains over 50 titles and is
acclaimed and loved by fans, musicians and scholars alike.
