>Wilson wasn't that big at the time
He was literally at the height of porcupine trees success, they were never bigger when this was released .

Illmatic was the album that made me look towards the underground hip hop scene, particularly on the East. First discovered it when I was 13 and a bit. Before that I never listened to any music in particular, but I was impressed at the dimensional depth of this album considering how young Nas was when he wrote it. Over the following year and a half I explored tonnes of really obscure rap from all over the place, and I’d reccommend anyone else try it too, because the culture as a whole has a lot to give. Don’t listen to hip hop anymore, I’ve been transitioning to mostly black metal but extreme metal as a whole lately, because we all get bored of staying in the same vein at some time. What stopped me going further is that underground hip hop releases can be extremely hard to get your hands on, the only way being to hope someone uploaded it to yt so you can just rip it off there with some dodgey chinese software. 90% of the shit has been out of print for about 20 years at this point, and everyone’s too busy burning Eminem LPs to do anything about it. Finding BM is 5 times easier, and that’s literal: in a year I compiled a collection of about 100 underground hip hop releases, while in a few months 500 BM albums made it in, because the fuckers come at you thick and fast on any platform you use to search.
