In this YouTube exclusive series, Bomani Jones looks back at the year of Hip Hop in 1994, which is considered by some to be one of the greatest years for rap music. In this episode, Bomani takes a look at Nas' debut album Illmatic and why it is so incredibly good. From the raw jazz inspired New York beats made by some of the greatest producers of our time, to gritty iconic lyrics from Nas that vividly portrayed New York City, this album is a masterpiece from top to bottom. Bomani analyzes why it's so good, why he personally loves it so much, and why it's being taught in classrooms all across the country. #nas #illmatic #nasillmatic #newyorkrap #hiphop
