damn, where the hell has the time gone? i can't believe it's been 10 years since this album came out but it has. hip hop is easily a 4 outta 5, no classic here but a very good album. nas had everybody talkin' bout the title of the album and hip hop as a whole with where it was at the time :wow:

anway, some of my favorite songs were the followin' :obama:

I'm not really a nas fan, I'd say I've only heard a quarter of his work but I bought this album when it came out and still bump it often, very dope album

you missin' out, bruh. even with a few inconsistent albums, nas' talent as an mc is unlike no other!

the lost tapes, god's son, street's disciple, stillmatic, it was written and life is good are all good to great albums:wow:

Damn it's been 10 YEARS:mindblown:


I remember when The Gomez brothers leaked Black Republicans and we're going NUTS over it

I remember copping that exact XXL issue. I still have it:wow:

Remember when the album leaked:blessed:


Remember the classic Hot 97 radio interviews where he dissed Jim Jones (Jim Ones:pachaha:) Mobb Deep and 50. He also threw shots at Birdman and Wayne kissing on the lips.


That was a great album, it wasn't classic but it's a solid 4 Mics. Nas's flow was sharp and of course he brought the lyrics. Kanye, Scott Storch, Dr Dre and Will I Am laced him lovely with the production. Will I Am was the MVP of the producers, and this was AFTER everyone was throwing shade at Nas for working with him.
