Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. Steelbook containing DVD and Blu-ray.   Twenty years after its release, Illmatic has become a hip-hop benchmark that encapsulates the socio-political outlook, enduring spirit, and collective angst of a generation of young black men searching for their voice in America.   Time is Illmatic tracks the musical legacy of the Jones family, handed down to Nas from his jazz musician father, Olu Dara. It also examines the social conditions and environmental influences that contributed to Nas' worldview.   Along the way, Time Is Illmatic shows how Nas - with the support of his Queensbridge neighbourhood crew, the loyalty of his younger brother Jabari "Jungle" Jones, and sacrifices of his mother, Ann Jones - overcame insurmountable odds to create the greatest work of music from hip-hop's second golden era.   Extras Deleted Scenes Time Is Illmatic Album Breakdown feat. Q-Tip, Pharrell Williams and Alicia Keys.

Documentary detailing the creative process and cultural significance of American rapper Nas's highly-praised and seminal 1994 album 'Illmatic'. The film includes contributions from Nas himself, as well as Busta Rhymes and Alicia Keys among others, to gain an insight into the album's creation, its ongoing influence in the rap scene, and its thematic content.
