  12. People really gassed this cat. Who is he to be rapping over Illmatic? Thanks but I’mma wait til Elmatic.

    sigh.. said this on June 9th, 2010 at 2:41 pm

  13. It took all this time just for 10 songs? I mean I am excited about it but 10 songs? Seems like Fashawn and a lot of other people have been talking about this tape for way too long for there to be only 10 songs on it.

  14. ^^ Elmatic is never coming and it’s sad to say that. Elmatic was suppose to drop like a year ago, it’s a dead idea dude.

    Gio said this on June 9th, 2010 at 2:45 pm

  15. hmmm… Ive been waitin on Elzhi’s forever but I Guess I could settle for Fashawn.

  16. @Gio….dude hes rapping over the Illmatic beats, if he added more tracks it would kill the concept. Plus dude was talking about how he was having trouble finding some of the beats

    Remedy said this on June 9th, 2010 at 2:46 pm

  17. Dudes can’t even pay homage now without people crying. Boy Meets World was hands down the best album of last year and I’m hyped for this.

  18. I’m glad Fashawn didn’t put up a baby picture of him superimposed with Fresno in the background. No more biting Nas’ Illmatic cover…LOL!!!

    Anyways, I’m really looking forward to this mixtape.

    Rio$ said this on June 9th, 2010 at 2:55 pm

  21. People do realize Illmatic had ten tracks (including the intro) and only one feature right? Then why are yall asking such dumb fucking questions? This was the only way you can do it.

  22. fuck this shit wheres ELMATIC

    the deal said this on June 9th, 2010 at 3:03 pm

  23. awesome, been lookin forward to this for too long… i def dig the concept no doubt… i only expect somethin ill considerin the artist, his work ethic, and what hes tryin to do (remake a classic!)… def madd interested in this…

    but LMAOOO @ Gio sayin:
    “It took all this time just for 10 songs? I mean I am excited about it but 10 songs? Seems like Fashawn and a lot of other people have been talking about this tape for way too long for there to be only 10 songs on it.”
    ^^^^wtfs wrong with you!? (no hate) dont you realize hes remaking illmattic and illmattic obviously only has 10 tracks?! HAHA, step ya game up!!! go listen to illmattic man n youll see why hes remakin this album of all albums… n if you still think he took too long wit it, its def cuz he wanted to make it as best he could considerin hes spittin over a classic of all classics!

  24. PS… im pretty sure that was by far the longest comment i ever wrote =D

  25. Fashawn is one of the best young MC’s today and the tribute to Nas is cool and all, but I don’t know that Illmatic should be touched. I’ll give it a listen though once it drops.

  26. Well now I have some good music to look forward to.

    Recovery said this on June 9th, 2010 at 3:20 pm

  27. smh ppl act like Fashawn aint worthy to do this. yeah, Elzhi is on another planet but Fashawn is dope nonetheless. Boy Meets World is gonna stand as one the greatest debut albums as well as one of the greatest west coast albums of all time.

    Matt.Beezy said this on June 9th, 2010 at 3:34 pm

  28. Sorry Fashawn. Your dope, but I’ll wait for Elmatic.

  30. Was feelin his version of Life’s a Bitch but wasn’t feelin his Memory Lane…especially cuz Memory Lane is my faverite Nas song of all time…so far telling from the 2 tracks he’s leaked so far, Ode to Illmatic def won’t be on the level of Illmatic

    THIS JUST IN: LIL WAYNE WAS RAPED IN JAIL!! said this on June 9th, 2010 at 4:26 pm

  31. i say yes

    beanie said this on June 9th, 2010 at 4:30 pm

  32. i just hope he dont bite on nas punch lines and trys to sound to much like the original songs.. he does it alot in memory lane

    BLU19 said this on June 9th, 2010 at 4:49 pm

  33. Caught him with Brother Ali. He was pretty good,but ILLMATIC? I bet you he uses most of the same flows/same lines and flips it a little which is kinda a losing idea. Maybe he was too young to know what this album meant to the people who were there.Or maybe he is aiming at his peers who will think he came up with this all on his own.

    Rhymesayers#1 said this on June 9th, 2010 at 5:12 pm

  34. Should be good. I think he’s better for an ode to illmatic than Elzhi. Don’t Get Me wrong Elzhi is insane lyrically, but the leaks i heard off Elmatic was elzhi spittin what sounded like freestyled battle raps over Illmatic beats. To do a tribute to Illmatic you gotta write some deep shit. I’m sorry but slick wordplay, and witty punchlines just isn’t enough. You need some real deep thought to pull this off. Then again this is Illmatic we’re talkin about I,m not sure if either of them can pull it off.

  35. Hell Yea….been waiting for this for a while..Only rapper out right now that could have done this..plus isn’t Green Lantern Nas’ DJ? I bet Nas fucks with Fashawn after this.

  42. Fash is dope. fuck if you feel otherwise.

    Ryuk said this on June 10th, 2010 at 2:41 am

  43. If you’ve got something negative to say about Fashawn you don’t love hip hop as much as you pretend to.

    OGEazy said this on June 10th, 2010 at 11:57 am

  44. Fashawn’s Memory Lane was a B- Version of Nas’s Original and that was the best song on Illmatic. I love hip hop “OG EASY” ^^^^ But you can keep this one.

    TonyDee said this on June 10th, 2010 at 12:34 pm

  45. this is dope…. How manny new jacks pay homage to great artist n a classic albums… Most of them never hear illmatic or even know what that album meant for hip hop fans in 94… That was nas take over from the god rakim.. Like the mic was pass from 1 great artist to another.. Props to fashawn..
