Nas "I Am" got 4.5 Mic when it came out. WHY DOES THE COLI&the internet HATE IT?!

[erker]

Small world, we will survive and ny state of mind II the only songs I ever liked off that wakk ass album

that joint with dmx was terrible everything about that songs sucks

Imagine not liking Nas Is Like

 

[TheDarceKnight]

there was a ton of misfires with the beats

collabs w/ X and Face ruined

its not a very likable album as time goes on, Nastradamas is probably a better album

Am I the only one that liked the X collab on I Am? The hook isn't my favorite but I liked the song overall.

 

[Metal Face]

Project Windows? Some of Us Have Angels? Family?

those songs are mid compared

 

[George's Dilemma]

In hindsight I'm ehhh about that album.

 

[904]

Looking at the tracklist now, ehhhh...

There's 5-6 songs that I genuinely like.. the rest is meh to 1-2 FOHs lol

It is a very late 90s sounding album, a time period I hated production wise..

Nope. Guessing some think the beat's dated but aged better than many from late 90s early 00s. Don't see a problem with it myself.

Album would be have a better rep if they cut it to 12 tracks or replaced the weaker tracks with the gems that ended up on Nastradamus, QB Finest and Lost Tapes. Top 10 songs on there are strong

Just because the source rated it 4.5 doesn't mean everyone has to agree with it.

The original ended up mostly part of the LOST TAPES. But the NAPSTER changed the bootlegging game then.

Reminded for emphasis.

I LOVE Life Is What You Make It. Nas KILLED both of his verses, X came nice, beat is unique and slaps, hook gets me hyped and feeling motivated. I dunno why Money Cash Hoes gets so much praise and then everybody shyts on LIWYMI. Kinda baffling tbh.

 

[DeuceZ]

Randomly played I am all the way through today. Remove Big things, Kissing, and Dr Knockboot and it's a very solid project

If there was a video for you won't see my tonight back in the day it would have been a wrap

The OG project was a classic...Napster ruined the album

 

[SilverSamurai]

This thread made me put on the OG I Am again

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Like I said before, the revision is real. The Source did not review the bootleg. It was the retail version:

I found this using the search on this site. Props to @FreshAIG for posting this years ago.

bought the album back in the day Off the strength of this review and I fukked with Esco

Album was an event when it dropped who hated
