Quality album. Nas is so focused these days...plus the inclusion of the acapella at the end is a nice touch...I am going to stick a beat behind it as soon as a find a chip tune melody to steal.

hmm.. I was kind of ready to be disappointed by this, especially considering streets disciple. I think I only listened to that like three times since I got it...

eh
I thought I had written the end there.. it was supposed to get at something like "really? has he gotten his act back together?" and then maybe "recommend me some representative samples from the album so that I won't buy another one that I'll never listen to."

Dunno. I like Nas (ignoring the I Am, through to Nastradamus phase)...maybe other people with taste in music that isn't as good as mine won't like it much.

I'm going to try to avoid downloading the whole thing; If I like it I'll get the vinyl anyway, but downloading all of it may delay this course of action.

I was just reading about this album yesterday. I'll give it a whirl; haven't really ever got into listening to Nas.

sounds ok-to-good from the samples (they weren't all full songs).

I wouldn't even say classic myself...but lets say if the Wu managed to put something out of this level of quality I would be more than happy.

Yeah i like it but theres some very dodgy tracks, and I've always been a big Nas fan. Hiphoppers are going nuts over Black Republican, but I think its awful, very much in the style of Jay-Zs recent shit output. Hiphop Is Dead is fucking spot on tho, its nice when Nas actually gets some rhythm in his delivery. I really like Money Over Bullshit too, his bragging style is entertaining.
these two lines really made me laugh the first time I listened to it, i think he might take himself a bit too seriously now
"Black fish eggs nigga, thats the caviar"
"Friday somebody gotta die day, saturday put the gat away"
So yeah didnt really restore my faith in Nas, Gods Son wasnt quite my cup of tea either but Stillmatic still gets played quite often.

It has some great songs on it.. but why does it always have to have ho's, money, bidges, niggahs etc in it..? I know it's the scene and all but it's just shitty.
Like the start of Not Going Back which trully is an exellent song but I don't really can stand the intro.

I'd rather have "Nasty Nas" to "Nas Escobar"
I think he does take himself a little serious at times though.

so then punk, pop, and hip hop are all zombies now or what? cuz that would explain a lot if that were to actually be the case.
