Nas-Illmatic| Beezy Classic Reviews

[@mstefanidis1841]

This comment still gets me

[@mitchellbuckland3553]

Beezy spoke for about 7 minutes... The most we will ever hear him speak.

[@mamba4817]

Beezy be speaking when it's an album he loves

[@Kryllmatiic]

Beezy went in, thats what love of hip hop looks like, track for track word for word he knew it all and then some. THATS how you know someone loves hip hop and its so genuine. Great vid guys.

[@jpkillah]

Some people on here must have social issues (lack of friends) if they don't know the difference between some friendly jokes/banter and straight mocking.

[@Woozz93]

This right there.

[@OddedPast]

[@Junior13113]

I do believe that Illmatic is one of those rare albums that actually ARE perfect. I mean, there's really nothing bad to say about it. It's not super long and it's not too short (unless you'd just want more), beats are amazing, lyricism is God tier, storytelling is some of the best in Hip-Hop history, it's a clear 10/10 LP, and those don't come around very often. There isn't a single weak track, in my opinion.

[@sampletext8614]

I'm not interested in a fight, I'm just starting a conversation: I thought Halftime and One Time 4 Your Mind had weak spots. And I think the production of the beats is not as diverse as it could've been, in my opinion. The World Is Yours is defenitely one of the best songs of that year, and It Ain't Hard to Tell Is a great closer. Oh! And yes, the lyricism is definitely a 10/10 no question. But Illmatic has always struck me as not that diverse in production. The hook on One Love I dislike. The base on One Love, Halftime and One Time 4 Your Mind are not, to me, as good, as Memory Lane, for example. Ready to Die is more my thing anyway. I just wanted to hear your opinion! Because I'm not as convinced as most people about the perfectness of the album.

[@218Murai]

sample text I have few reasons why this album is held to a high degree in music history. Give thorough details on why you feel the way about the songs you listed. It’s all conservation really.

[@miguelmonteiro6160]

@@sampletext8614 It may sound like the production is all the same if youre not too familiar with this brand of hip hop. Its like that for me with metal, all metal sounds the same to me and thats just because I dont really listen to it a lot. I actually think the production on Illmatic is diverse enough. You got the grittiness of ny state of mind, that spaced out beat on lifes a bitch, it slows down with one time 4 your mind, you got the loud boom bap on halftime and it aint hard to tell...

[@mamba4817]

​​​@@sampletext8614 Cohesive albums don't need to be extremely diverse. It's all about the execution in what your doing. Id argue it's the perfect amount of diversity.

[@Marz916]

Totally agree with Myke. I'm from California, never been to New York, and when I heard NY State of Mind, I imagined being surrounded by dirty New York project buidlings, for some reason they were yellow, chipped bricks, partly cloudy weather, and the events happening in front of my eyes. It's totally mind blowing.

[@skylerb97]

Beezy's so knowledgable and passionate about the album. It's hilarious I'm almost in tears

[@sampletext8614]

Is like he always quiet on the corner, chillin, but when somebody brings up Illmatic he becomes Martin Luther King all of the sudden

[@ueharajunior21]

me

[@Haddonfield63]

"THAT NIGGA WAS WORKIN ON HIS SECOND MASTERS"!!! iM CRYIN!!!

[@ImmortalKombatPanda]

+JuaronTheMan Kinge face was like "No this nigga didn't.."

[@MegaKhalid121]

I didn't see that scene. Time?

[@sangampun]

+MegaKhalid121 11:50

[@charlesrigmaiden459]

Beezy's enthusiasm for Illmatic is incredible.

[@kennithbinge]

Guys lay off Myke. Both of us were laughing at B's enthusiasm. You just can't see me with the way it was shot. We shouldn't have to explain this to you all since B knows this but since it is a big deal for whatever reason, I guess we have to address this instead of you all enjoying the review. Focus on the video and not made up nonsense please. Thank you.

[@4play49]

Your all friends anyway everyone (mucks about )what you call goofing around im from uk so mucks about with there friends

[@kennithbinge]

Right. It's like they don't know how friends are around each other.

[@mykectown]

Preciate that, bruh.

[@giancarlosemansky2312]

Can I email you some music and get your opinion of it?

[@00maniacmanny00]

+Giancarlo Semansky this video is 2 years old

[@ThisIsBShaw]

The genuine enjoyment and love for this album Beezy has is so awesome. It's just pure joy.

[@nickrock999]

Illmatic is just the perfect mesh of beats and rhymes. Easily the greatest 40 minutes of Hip Hop ever.

[@TheBumRumz]

The World Is Your's is one of my favorite Hip Hop songs of all times.

[@thisvthattv]

I think that's the longest I've heard beezy speak on a review

[@AFunkyDiabetic]

Credit to Feefo for speaking his mind about not being in love with this.

[@KevinRBravo]

For sure. It's hard to have a non-extremely positive opinion about what is considered as the "hip hop bible". That's why most people here enjoy DEHH, they keep it real man.

[@seanstroman6087]

Yeah I don't blame feefo for listening to I Am first even though that album is decent compared to his worst albums but its no where near his best. Being born and raise in New York Its easily go me to make the correlation Nas Words and the Imagery I'm just surprise that Feefo didn't couldn't connect with as strongly as Myke, Feefo, and Kinge but Feefo has always been a little bit Different in that regard I guess Illmatic doesn't "Bump in the whip"

[@jackwilson9280]

AFunkyDiabetic Wassup Funky!

[@sleepy_joee]

AFunkyDiabetic holy shit it’s funky

[@SmokeOne89]

Credit for what? Being wrong? I Am? Lmmfbao

[@Faddy2K10]

Usually I don't do this but after watching this channel for nearly three years (Section 80 Review got me hooked!), I must say that all of you involved with DeadEndHipHop are doing something incredible and commendable. The fact that you go into detail with so many topics surrounding the culture is astounding. I think one of the absolute best parts is the stark contrast in your opinions, which creates a brilliant vibe for debate and entertainment. Tbh even if y'all quit tomorrow you would have contributed so much. Today just topped that off, and I was happy to see Beezy430 talk on something which probably changed his life perspective on music as it did mine. I have to admit though despite Illmatic being the raw classic but Stillmatic tops it IMO.

[@StoneKongStudios]

Someone needs to make a compilation of every time Kinge gets pissed Feefo and Myke mention his age, that would be the best video ever hahahaha XD #StayStrongKinge

[@kennithbinge]

I am!

[@bdot187um]

+Kennith Inge 😂

[@simbaryan4144]

@12:00 Kinge looked at Feefo like he was about to beat his ass...BUT had to gather himself lol. Feefo was about to catch that FADE

[@monaqvi1326]

Illmatic and To Pimp a Butterfly are the reason I love hip-hop.

[@jaygatling1977]

Feefo was really showing his youth and inexperince to the magnitude of the album. HipHop perfection was created on illmatic. The album showed the industry lyrical growth. That you can be street and have a vast vocabulary when it comes to lyrical content. Nas picked the torch up from KRS-Oe, and Rakim as the lyrical leader of that generation.

[@mamba4817]

He took a lot of inspiration from Kool G Rap too. Maybe the most in his ryme style. True student of hip hop.

[@MrJmanjj]

12:00 That look look he gave him! Had me me laughing so hard!

[@thedudeunderyourbed8474]

Maaaan he really look mad wtf

[@anonvegeta]

If i could recommend one album which sums up Hip Hop perfectly it would be ILLMATIC.

[@markjohnson4968]

Please help me... I consider myself a "Hip-Hop Head" I rate Ready To Die as the #1 Hip-Hop album of all time. But for whatever reason I can't get into Nas or Ilmatic for the life of me.

[@TheDevDev187]

+Mark Johnson how could you not?

[@kenyadasyriaquez2210]

Ready to die overrated

[@FoxyChariot]

anonvegeta Illmatic is THE ideal hip hop album

[@colinpun8016]

Wtf M8 fuck no

[@kinghakeemhase305]

This is what makes DEHH so dope. Everyone has their own perspective on how dope of an album this is. Dope Review.

[@aljujuan123456]

it's so kool to see beezy all excited for this album 20 years later

[@HoodPresident4]

This nigga myke had me dying with his expressions

[@emmanuelmondesir1314]

EverywhereDologenesis "whats that sound zzzzzz" 😂😂😂

[@RioTheDude420]

Beezy you're the man, bro!

[@Bashers786]

LMAO the look on kinge's face when feefo was like "that nigga was working on his 2nd masters" XD

[@augustrose5]

I wish they'd do more classic reviews -Nas "It Was Written" (20 yrs old) -ATCQ "The Low End Theory (25 yrs old) -Tupac All Eyez On Me and the Makaveli album (20 yrs old) -Eminem MMLP -Wu Tang Enter the 36 Chambers

[@k-cx7137]

Your wish has come true , all of them except makaveli has been reviewed

[@marriedwithtwokidslost2561]

IT'S HELD IN HIGH REGARD BECAUSE HE SET A NEW STANDARD FOR LYRICISM.LYRICALLY HE WAS BEFORE HIS TIME.

[@nasribenzema]

Favorite album of all-time, Gods Son hits the spot for me tho its sophisticated grown man shit

[@mitchellbuckland3553]

Can we get some more classic reviews?

[@BhrisBenoit]

If the next classic review was Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, that would be dope as fuck.

[@BhrisBenoit]

Atmosphere - God Loves Ugly UGK - Super Tight Brand Nubian - One 4 All Little Brother - The Listening Slum Village - Fantastic, Vol. 2 Where is the Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik option? Dead End not giving the people what they want.

[@Sedrick]

Mousecop Of all the OutKast albums that's the one you want so bad?

[@BhrisBenoit]

Sedrick Why not? It was OutKast's first album and it recently hit 20 years? Why not?

[@Sedrick]

Because it is also their most, or just one of their two most forgettable albums. Classic albums are NOT made just because a classic artist made them and the album is old. ATLiens, Aquemini, Stankonia, and even Speakerboxxx/The Love Below are all far more deserving because they are all great classics. The point of classic album reviews isn't to celebrate a big artist's first album.

[@BhrisBenoit]

Sedrick Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik is considered a classic album by many people, and also considered one of the best Southern Rap albums ever. It was this album that made OutKast and Southern Rap somewhat relevant in comparison to the East, West and Midwest.

[@MEEZLEMONSTER]

I dunno if I said this already, but ya'll should review "Aquemini" next. BTW, I fully endorse the hostess's choice of wardrobe for this video.

[@HatedGreatness]

Next classic review should be on Mos Def -" Black on Both Sides" album, one of my favourite albums of all time regardless of genre.

[@DarkClouds-v8]

1. Illmatic 2. Reasonable Doubt 3. Only Built For Cuban Links 4. Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) 5. Ready To Die/The Infamous

[@thats_tuff56]

My first rap album I ever heard and bought, got me in to rap. Lmao first heard it in my dads car on my way to pick my mom up from rehab, I never heard anything like it before. Classic

[@Diamondstandard2234]

Nas the goat man

[@hpk008]

Always sit Myke and Beezy like that for classic reviews

[@goldwaterproductions]

Blew my mind the first time I heard it. Every song clicked instantly.

[@Tod-sc4lm]

This review itself is a classic because I always come back for beezys ethusiasm and passion for hip hop. Love dehh

[@aus1027]

Love these classic album reviews, looking forward to more.

[@TheCodedtestament]

Everybody with any good taste in hip hop knows illmatic.

[@YoungKnick23]

Im liking these classic reviews a lot. Dehh is the go to place for hiphop.

[@willstaywinning]

Illmatic is one of those albums that transcends generations. I think Beezy meant the Gap Band on the Life's a Bitch track.

[@Ellz125]

We've been waitin' A MINUTE for this, fellas.

[@IkePhillipRuffin]

Please review ATCQ "Midnight Marauders'"

[@BrotherNero777]

[@MrVIP1993]

YES please or Low End Theory

[@CodysFavorites]

1:09 "it'll be up every month" you sure about that?

[@00maniacmanny00]

[@DMSthaWolf]

I wish B would talk like this more often but he's the laid back one like myself. I can respect it. #MykeCTownmademelaugh

[@Frankie71809]

Life we chose of that Nastradamus album is the realist hip hop track ever. Also that track that he talks as if he was a prison. Come get me track beat w premo of Nastradamus was so ill that it could be on illmatic. Crazy how Nastradamus gets no play. Anyways illmatic speaks for it self.

[@JPK169]

The Greatest Album In HIPHOP History

[@JulianWyllie]

Illmatic. Wow. I didn't hear the album until I was a Junior in High School. I finally went back and got into older albums from the 90s and 80s and this blew me completely away. Myke is right. Above all else, you feel like you're in the NYC subway. As a 90s kid from NY, I am proud to say that Nas is one of the most spectacular musicians ever. Congrats on 20 years and good review DEHH.

[@SamShadow93]

It's awesome to hear Beezy get this deep in the conversation !! Mad props for reviewing Illmatic guys. Great fucking album !!!

[@munie81]

Myke hit it on the head with why I love this album. It's like the production painted the new york scenery and Nas told the story. Album is a masterpiece. I would love to see you guys do a review on "Uptown Saturday Night" by Camp Lo one of these days/

[@willstaywinning]

Southernplaylistic... turned 20 the other day too. Can you all review that next?

[@TheCedd97]

Its about time, I been asking for this!

[@knife-chase]

I get why Mike is laughing when B is speaking but really that whole spiel is kind of the reason I like this channel. That kind of depth. IT ISNT FUNNY MIKE

[@musachaudhry]

Black On Both Sides would be a dope review

[@paddypoohead]

I don't think I share a single opinion with Feefo.

[@morganandrew-morganson7156]

Illmatic is the album that made me fall in love with Hip-Hop. I didn't hear it 'till summer of 2006 though; I was born in '91, and I was about to turn 3 when it came out, plus I wasn't allowed to listen to rap until I got older. But this album (especially "The World Is Yours," my favorite track) made me understand and appreciate the genre. This album helped me hone my craft as a writer and poet, and anytime I find myself stuck creatively, this is one of the albums that helps me get back in my zone. Great review.

[@eddiehdd]

Like Water for Chocolate Be Black on Both sides Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Me Against The world The Chronic Doggystyle Those would be some great classic reviews

[@00maniacmanny00]

This video is 2 years old

[@Ben-gd4ds]

The Marshall Mathers LP The Score Doggystyle Aquemini Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Death Certificate Those would be dope classic reviews.

[@Lyric1235]

My favorite album and imo the best hip-hop album

[@0oidiedinatimemachineo024]

Beezy might not have talked much in these old videos but he always had crazy enthusiasm and passion for the things he did like lol

[@Marz916]

The first time I heard of Nas was If I Ruled The World and I loved It Was Written. I went back to Illmatic, and just thought it was amazing, and in my opinion, greatest Hip Hop album of all-time.

[@MichaelHabtemariam]

Beezy talked for almost 9 straight minutes lol

[@creative_soul-recolo]

I love that line from C-Town: "It doesn't have enough time to be wack!" Now if that's not a compliment, I don't know what it is. NAS-ILLMATIC IS GOATED.

[@TheReese989]

LOL at Kinge working on his second masters! I knew an old joke was coming in this review but great review, I like this channel.

[@kennithbinge]

Yea he got me.

[@oliveralund9160]

I just wish Illmatic had more than 10 tracks

[@DizzeeLex91]

Beezy cracks up with his early hip hop stories with the boombox with his cassette tape and bein in his room and tellin all his friends. lol. No, but great review. This was one of the first hip hop albums I ever heard. Imma 1991 child and I first heard this when I was six. Memories.

[@timothyarbinata1023]

ATCQ - the low end theory

[@andrerubio9163]

beezy430 Can y'all at least debate which one y'all like more between Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders? Cuz I actually love that a little bit more

[@lust4power]

beezy430 I'd enjoy Midnight Marauders more

[@emssasukeisunderrated7946]

Andre Rubio Dude, Low End Theory is a top 5 all-time album, Midnight Marauders is awesome but LET is special.

[@eddibower]

Low End Theory edges a little above Midnight -- ONLY because it was groundbreaking

[@skydweller5982]

Growing up I didn't appreciate Nas and Illmatic. But now I get it and Illmatic is top 5 greatest hip hop albums of all time! IMO... 1. Ready to Die 2. Doggystyle 3. Reasonable Doubt 4. Illmatic 5. Marshall Mathers LP

[@hahahayess]

Do Mobb Deep's Infamous for the next Classic Review.

[@GrootmanSipho]

HAHA HAHA We already know that Feefo won't like that album because he didn't grow up with it

[@Vinxi]

'The world is yours' is my favorite song of all time.

[@ndx2k]

THE UNSEEN BY QUASIMOTO PLEASE

[@FGAlele]

ILLMATIC and GOD's SON by FAR My 2 Favorite Nas and OVERALL HiPHOP Albums in General..#GoaT

[@jaymt1982]

Yup Illmatic and Reasonable Doubt are my favourite hip hop albums of all time at this point. Yall should do a review of Reasonable Doubt and Only Built for Cuban Linx.

[@Grandmaster_Vic]

This was the album that made me fell in love with hip hop, before I liked Hip hop but it wasn't something I would get into until I was around the 8th grade and my cousin's cousin (not part of my family nor blood related) got me into nas and illmatic and from then on I loved hip hop buying vinyl records and made me who I am today.

[@catastrophic3]

If you listened to Nas long enough you would know the scene in Belly came from the third verse of One Love

[@larelprice696]

Illmatic is always gonna be my favorite hip hop album of all time.

[@compounding_gains]

It's great to hear your opinions and how you each discovered Illmatic. Even better you did not get into a debate about the best album in NaS' catalogue etc. I'm going to suggest another classic album for review, which I did before: OUTKAST - ATLIENS.

[@livefromthegazebo]

i love every single song. everyday listening to this shit. yall gonna make me listen right now

[@theunserious]

Myke's look to Beezy at the end of the review killed me, that had me cracking up, great review though you could really see how passionate Beezy was about Illmatic

[@guitarman64100]

Haha B took up half the video and he killed it, I'm looking forward to more classic reviews just to see B drop more knowledge

[@spprw]

i agree about the 'ny state of mind pt. 2' beat. that shit is tough

[@SmokedAxxassin]

Thanks brother man

[@JDKpunk909]

Sophie had the best thoughts

[@LouieV6]

HAHA! this is the most i've heard Beezy talk lol! but he was so spot on about the album, word for word!
