nas 'illmatic' deluxe GOLD edition

i received the best boxing day gift to date.  my first recollection of hearing a nas song was in the 7th grade, so that was back in 96.  i missed the bus and my brother FWMJ and his friend michael had to drop me off.  on that ride to school, 'if i ruled the world' came playing through the speakers.  though mainstream, that was huge for SA radio, that played predominately west coast hip hop (if any), pop, and freestyle (stevie b. style).   that's when my love affair began.
