WHY NOW? BECAUSE FEW ALBUMS HAVE BEEN SUCH AN INSPIRATION FOR SO MANY. THERE WAS A BEFORE AND AN AFTER "ILLMATIC". WE CAN JUST IMAGINE NAS MINDSET ALL THESE YEARS, KNOWING THAT HE WILL NEVER DO BETTER THAN THAT.
He made his best album on his first try and from there, he will unfortunately always disappoint "some" fans. HARD TASK. The fact that he still made an amazing career after that is even more IMPRESSIVE.
