not to be a jerk, but you also don't listen to a lot of new rappers. Joey Bada$$ def sounds influenced by Nas/Illmatic for one. And obviously that goes for Pro Era.
I'd say that bits of A$AP Mob ("Trillmatic"!), Flatbush Zombies, and their peers especially in NYC are def still influenced by 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

I don't think that was his point, unless I took it wrong or he had trouble actually saying it. I mean saying that "old school heads" don't care, would to me mean that people who still listen to old school hip hop don't listen to that one album and see it as "overrated," and I totally disagree.
