Even the greatest artistic geniuses have lulls in their confidence. Perhaps Erykah Badu put it best: "I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my shit."

So it's no surprise that when Nas released his first full-length project, the immortal rap album Illmatic, he was unsure if he'd send any shockwaves outside of his project maze.

Queensbridge's humble hero sat down with VIBE to express his doubts about how Illmatic would be received, and the moment he realized the album's perennial, cultish following.

Nas' Illmatic XX, a remastered re-release commemorating his debut masterpiece, drops today, packed with rare remixes and unreleased tracks. —John Kennedy

    Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    Thanks for your content. One other thing is that if you are selling your property alone, one of the challenges you need to be conscious of upfront is how to deal with home inspection records. As a FSBO home owner, the key about successfully switching your property along with saving money in real estate agent income is awareness. The more you are aware of, the simpler your sales effort are going to be. One area when this is particularly crucial is information about home inspections.
