Having Illmatic below Jay-Z's The Blueprint (when Nas literally won the beef) and Miseducation is beyond foul

they couldve at least used the original 1989. But does this mean that apple music agrees that TPAB should've lost oat to 1989, how dare they😡

No worries if you don't change it, but the version of Are You Experienced? by The Jimi Hendrix Experience that Apple Music selected was the North American Reissue, and not the original UK release.
