Illmatic is the debut album of American rapper Nas, released April 19, 1994 on Columbia Records. Following his signing to Columbia with the help of MC Serch, recording sessions for the album took place during 1992 to 1993 at Chung King Studios, D&D Recording, Battery Studios, and Unique Recording Studios in New York City. Its production was handled by Nas, Large Professor, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, LES, and DJ Premier. Stylistically a hardcore hip hop album, Illmatic features Nas's multi-syllabic internal rhyme patterns expressing inner city lyrical themes and narratives based on his native Queensbridge, New York. Upon its release, the album debuted at number 12 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 59000 copies in its first week. However, its initial sales fell below expectations and its five singles failed to achieve significant chart success. While it experienced initial low sales, Illmatic received generally positive reviews from most music critics upon its release and earned praise for its production and Nas's lyricism. On January 17, 1996, the album was certified gold in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America, and in 2001, it earned platinum certification after sales of one million copies in the United States. Since its initial reception, the album has been recognized by writers and music critics as a landmark album in East Coast hip hop. It contributed to the regional scene's artistic renaissance in New York, while marking an influential, stylistic change <b>...</b>

Just let me know, whenever you feel cold, the weathers getting heavy and its really hard to hold, my heart is giving up, I don't know what to do, and I don't know what to say when I think about us, reminiscing bout the time when we laughed and played, held your hand make me smile as you made my day, okay, I need you and i want ya back, half heart soul parted like a heart attack, and I'm, really sorry for the things I did, when I'll left you in the dark and the things I hid, I'm so lost, baby all I wanted was you, but when you left my heart broke into two. CHORUS: i thought we were in strong i thought we would last long i thought that you loved me so i gave you my heart to hold but you broke it and gave it away now theres not much left to say why did things have to end this way your still the one i love today only a few months ago that broke up & you, you meant so much to me even reallly completed me just chilling at your place memories i cant erase cant <b>...</b>
