thanks. disc 1 was better than 2 i thought but overall it was an excellent album. UBR was an excellent concept and i really liked bridging the gap. nas only needs himself sallam remi and les on the boards. buckwilld beat was very good as was the q-tip one (american dream)
id give it 4 1/2 out of 5

gd review, quality Nas album

Good Album, 'message to the feds' is an awesome song, except when the beat changes at the end, otherwise it would of been PERFECT. I thought that he should of just made it one disc and concentrated on the quality, making sure every song was dope, D.R.E style, because this isn't classic NaS shit. Stillmatic was better.
