im a nas stan, but as a community we gotta stop trying to re-write the I Am/Nastradamous era...them bullsht ass records almost killed his career. He was so confused about the changing era in hip hop, and how to fit in. Hate me now was just embarrassing.
I Am was nice and not why Nas fell off for that short period. I Am has some pretty good tracks, Nastradamus doesn't.

I really thought I Am was dope. There are several strong songs on there. Who is fukkin' with the story tellin' on "Undying Love"?

Well said this album has classic tracks but it doesn't have the cohesion. Is The Lost Tapes really better than It Was Written? Haven't heard that album in years.

Untitled and Distant Relatives are the only Nas albums that I like Lost Tapes more then...maybe Streets Disciple too.

With that being said both Lost tapes and DR are fire. Untitled is the only Nas album that is :ehh: to me :manny:
