Illmatic is the debut studio album by American rapper Nas, released on April 19, 1994, by Columbia Records. After signing with the label with the help of MC Serch, Nas recorded the album in 1992–1993 at Chung King Studios, D&D Recording, Battery Studios, and Unique Recording Studios in New York City. Its production was handled by Nas, Large Professor, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, L.E.S., and DJ Premier. Styled as a hardcore hip hop album, Illmatic features multi-syllabic internal rhymes and inner-city narratives based on Nas's experiences in Queensbridge, New York.
The album debuted at #12 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling 59,000 copies in its first week. However, its initial sales fell below expectations and its five singles failed to achieve significant chart success. Despite the album's low initial sales, Illmatic received rave reviews from most music critics, who praised its production and Nas' lyricism. On January 17, 1996, the album was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America, and on December 11, 2001 it earned a Platinum certification after shipping one million copies in the United States.

Nas Live From the Kennedy Center: Classical Hip-Hop Full Episode Premiere date: February 2, 2018 | 0:52:06 Two decades after the album’s critically acclaimed release, hip-hop artist Nas teamed up with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., to stage a symphonic rendition of “Illmatic,” one of the most revered albums in hip-hop history. The new concert film Great Performances — Nas Live From the Kennedy Center: Classical Hip-Hop captures the energy and nostalgia of this collaborative performance.

During this exclusive clip Charlamagne and DJ Vlad debate over Nas' greatest albums. As the majority would agree, Nas' debut Illmatic and the albums that followed certified him as one of hip-hop's elite. Though Charlamagne agrees, he does feel Nas' first body of work wasn't his best while DJ Vlad feels Illmatic was the only one that can be considered a classic. "Nas has 3, maybe four classics," argued Charlamagne. "We're just hung up on nostalgia." After the two agreed "Nas has made better work since Illmatic," they went on to discuss Lauryn Hill and more. Press play to catch it all and share your thoughts on their debate below.

illmat!c:
illmat!c bruda sven das team das eigentlich gut ist
zeigen dir was wut ist frohen mutes sind wir nur wenn du blutest
mein scheiss ist pures und echtes wie cohibas aus kuba
bin barrakuda und tauch in die materie wie scuba
bin wieder da wie der bruda wenn ich texte und krach mach
am bin ich wie gore tex weil mich keiner nass macht
mein style ist ultrahocherhitzt du schwitzt wie im sommer
ohne komma rapp' ich deine oma bis ins koma
komm zurück wie machiavelli und zwar fett wie maite kelly
fake mcs it's time to say goodbye wie bocelli
mr. pelle pelle stöhnt wie sally ich mach trashtalk
scheiss auf wordcup und schick dich nakich auf 'n catwalk
komplex dog ich dich zerfetz die panther wie 'n jaguar
ich jage da dein style ist arm wie nicaragua
deine frage war kann ich weiterrappen aber lass mal
ich flash dein plasma und nehme dir deine luft wie asthma
bruda sven:
du hasst mich und kannst überhaupt nicht verstehen dass ich krass kick
meine technik ist so dick wie luciano pavarotti über klassik
meine taktik macht dir panik du rappst nicht du übergibst dich
in diesem verfickten business sind wir echt der einzige lichtblick
du bist billig wie sommerschlussverkauf dich kill ich sogar wenn ich
rückwärts lauf
du bist verbraucht und dein rap auch also drück ich drauf
lösch dich aus mach dich platt wie die leeren coladosen
an alle mimosen die nur posen in ihren viel zu weiten hosen
wisst ihr echt was richtig ist oder seid ihr spielzeug
ich diss euch und überliste sirenen wie odysseus
verpisst euch bevor ihr sofort platzt von meinem mordssatz
dein style ist für die katz und dein wortschatz wie 'n schrottplatz
mein sportplatz ist der reimfluss wenn ich style kriegst du hallus
prophezeihe wie nostradamus meine teile sind geiler als 'n phallus
wenn ich dran muss spring in camouflage aus 'm gras
und sprüh 'n gas und exekutier deinen kleinen arsch
chorus:rap ist wie 'n labyrinth und jeder geht 'n anderen weg
ihr kennt mich nicht und wisst nicht wer da vor euch steht
ich lieb den scheiss genau wie ihr auch wenn ihr 's nicht versteht
das ist mein leben warum für mich die welt sich dreht
es gibt keinen ausweg am mic bin ich wie 'n terrorist
ich rappe aus 'm herzen und nicht weil es in mode ist
bevor du disst überleg ob du selber nach dem echten sinnst
bevor du keep it real in den mund nimmst
illmat!c:
augen und ohren auf ein grosses ereignis wirft seine schatten vorausdas dreamteam der deutschen rapscene gibt anlass für applausein brett von duett mit illa und bruda zusammenauf einem track zum dicken beat mit fetten raps
und alle die es hören sind hin und wegdas ist der sinn und zweck sobald nur einer von uns das mic checktwünscht sich jeder von euch da draussen, dass er nur halb soviel an skillz hatwas ist jetzt mit deinem wichstext
glaub kaum, dass einer dein mist schätzt
pelham power productions machen keine faxen du nur geschwätz
viele haben 's noch nicht begriffen
sind uns am dissen dazu noch beschissen
jedoch sobald sie wissen, dass sie uns die füsse küssen müssensind sie auf der flucht um fuss zu fassen in flüssenalso was ist 'n wollen wir die die mitmischen ganz einfach wegwischen
für solche homos rappen wir grad ma slowmodenn wir haben mehr stil als karatekas katas in dojos
