Nas's Illmatic could be the most critically acclaimed album in Hip Hop history.

Add Eminem to the list of those who think it's a GOAT effort.

He spoke about what happened when he first heard the in an interview with the New York Times.

“I remember The Source gave ‘Illmatic’ five mics [a perfect score],” Em said. “I already knew I liked Nas from ‘Live at the Barbeque’ with Main Source, because his verse on that is one of the most classic verses in Hip Hop of all time. But I was, like, ‘Five mics, though? Let me see what this is.’

“And when I put it on, ‘And be prosperous/though we live dangerous/Cops could just arrest me/Blamin’ us/We’re held like hostages.’ He was going in and outside of the rhyme scheme, internal rhymes. That album had me in a slump, too. I know the album front to back.”

How do you rate Illmatic?
