I said IMO, so I think Halftime is the best on Illmatic, but yes there were alot of bangers Illmatic so everyone has their preferences.
yeah, and in this case your opinion sucked. you had one love, the world is yours, memory lane, ny state of mind, life's a bitch and it ain't hard to tell to choose from, and you chose halftime.
With that being said, I'll take POTD,Illmatic,RD in that order. All three are classics by the way and Illmatic, RD are great but POTD has some of both with a little bit more so 50 Cent ftw.

right lol and i think halftime is like my least fave off that album !! lol
but honestly Power of a Dollar was Fif @ his most purest form ... his delivery was much sharper and versatile ... but i never heard that album from top to bottom ... matter of fact ... correct me if im wrong but there was never a retail release for Power of A Dollar .... so its not even fair to line it up again Illmatic and Reasonable Doubt ....??????
but i would have to say just off the two albums ive heard many of times ...
!. Reasonable Doubt
2. Illmatic
and i put reasonable doubt @ #1 cause that album is just ill ... from the beats ... to the lyrics .... today that would be my list cause i can relate to so much shit jay was talking about on that album today ..... but back in my younger years def Illmatic would of been #1 ...... just cause i was little shorty bop just like nas i feeled like i really understood where nas was coming from with that album and IWW ..... side note IWW is my top album of all time .......... i dont know what it is about that album but its just ill ... verbally and sonically .... sort of reminds me of Nas's Reasonable Doubt cause hes a older and more wiser on this joint then he was on Illmatic ........
i say IWW is nas @ his best ... illmatic was Nas in his most rare and most Rawest form ...
I agree. Illmatic was that pure, talented flow straight off the streets. smh @ Ready To Die not being included, its def better than power of a dollar and reasonable doubt
wow i like power of the dollar but i dont think it should be mentioned with 5 mic certified classics, im surprised to see it beating out rd especially on this site, illmatic>>rd>>potd
I agree. Illmatic was that pure, talented flow straight off the streets. smh @ Ready To Die not being included, its def better than power of a dollar and reasonable doubt
odl i think Power of a Dollar was added for view count LOL
cause i was thinking the same this would be a perfect match up with Ready to Die in the mix
Reasonable Doubt & then Illmatic in my opinion. I have Power of A Dollar, but I don't know the last time I listened to it & I wasn't that impressed with it when I was listening to it. It was a good album, but it wasn't great to me.
I agree. Illmatic was that pure, talented flow straight off the streets. smh @ Ready To Die not being included, its def better than power of a dollar and reasonable doubt
Ready to Die wasn't included just cuz I wanted to compare the 3 alive GOATS of New York
wow thats the first power of the dollar reference ive seen on this forum, respect for that. but im goin with illmatic, not far ahead of either of em, all classics.

However none of these albums had more impact than Illmatic.
