Rerelease... I just read.

I thought it was gonna be new album, maybe he will add some new shit.

[WeezySVK]

If Dj premier, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, Alchemist and Large Professor will be the producers on this than it gonna be a classic.
Illmatic made history lets see if Nas can come close to it.

EDIT: oh its a rerelease well hope atleast some new tracks lol

20th Anniversary I guess... It's gotta have something new or different on there. Other wise surely it would just be a special edition Illmatic and not a new name IllmaticXX with a new cover etc? I'm sure we'll get more details soon anyway.
