I'm bumping God's Son in the meantime. Can someone please clarify a line from Heaven that has bugged me since the album dropped?

"But then my style has quite a while that same type as Ill and Al Skratch"

wtf does "my style has quite a while" mean? (assuming these lyrics websites are correct)

Some of you are reaaaally sleeping on 'I am...' How can an album with TRUE classics like NYSOM 2, Hate Me Now, Small World, Nas is Like, Undying Love, Ghetto Prisoners, We will Survive, among other great tracks like Favor for a Favor, Life is what you make it and I want to talk to you, be rated anything less than 4/5?

Only truly weak tracks are Dr. Knockboots, Big Things and K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

The consensus has always been that Nastradamus is Nas' weakest album, but if y'all are willing to rate it 2/5, what do y'all rate some of the garbage put out today? -3/5?

I'm curious to see the track by track breakdown of Nastradamus by anyone who rates it that low.

His style has come a long way is the way I look at it. His previous line he was talking about walking around with Reese's Pieces wrappers in his mouth all day. At least that's how I look at it :manny:
