To be sure i haven't heard any new rappers reference or big up Illmatic neither heard any new shit that sounds influenced by it

3. I promise that "old school heads" care deeply about Illmatic. It might be why there have been two books written about this 9-song (10-track) album in the past few years, along with a film about its creation. Because people still care about it.

yeah yeah but how much of that is nostalgia or reverence and how much is actually listening to that album on an consistent rotation? Has it become a museum piece I think is Rob's point and personally I think its a fair one
