And if you took a quick look above, you'd see that they're still there.



Oh I see what you did there...

In that case...  How long do you guys think it will be before we see a new Nas solo album...

he's telling the media end of the year, december.

i figure it'll be probably by spring next year

but i always like nas releases in the winter
Cool breeze; I'm hopping out of new Beams
My outfit ran me a few G's but none of that will matter if you leave
I used to be an Adam with two Eves and shawtys automatically do me
Excuse me, all that happened before you doesn't matter
I'm a vision of the future climbing the success ladder
Recline, in the mean time, twenty three shine, diamond bling blind as I rewind

As We Enter
Strong Will Continue
Tribes At War
Patience

classic material that stands above the rest of the tracks.

I finally listened to this album... I gotta say that even though I skipped only one track I don't think this'll get many spins from me. There's too much Nas and too much Damian Marley on this album for me... if each song would have been a minute shorter this album would have been much better, I think. I'll give this a few more spins in the next days.

Standout song: Count Your Blessings

...and what's up with people saying Lil Wayne's verse was dope? Listen to his older shit before you talk crap like that, please.

this is a great album, I'm glad I only heard 2 songs off it over the months and can't wait to go buy this... solid album like I expected

favorite tracks as of now: "As We Enter", "Strong Will Continue", "Leaders", "Count Your Blessings", "Land Of Promise", and "My Generation"

EP - 40 minutes or under
LP - over 40 minutes

Only in hip hop will you find a sentence like "this album has too much Nas & Damian Marley" (whose album it is LOL)..Rock or contemporary music fans never complained when their artists were making 6-7 minute long songs  ::)

That didn't come out very clever :D This could have been a great EP, but an LP is too much.

no it is not . you are just being a hater as normal . you really most not like nas . ,the longer it is more bang for the buck. Lunatic is 100% right.  the album is suppose to have as much Nas & Damian Marley". it is  Nas & Damian Marley album . you sound stupid & like an hater. this is the problem today with hip hop fans , stop crying & be happy to get any music

After multiple spins, I'd say these are my final ratings...

1. As We Enter - 4.75/5 - So dope with Nas & Damian going back and forth..
2. Tribal War - 4.5/5 - Love the tribal drums on here to make this shit real official..

3. Strong Will Continue - 5/5 - Classic song..
4. Leaders - 4.5/5 - Really grown on me..Beat is fire and Stephen sounds tight on here..

5. Friends - 4.25/5 - Got a real cool vibe to it..Lovin' Damian on here..
6. Count Your Blessings - 4/5 - Beat is a little eyy but Nas/Damian save it..

7. Dispear - 3.75/5 - Worst track on here, but still not bad at all..
8. The Promised Land - 4.25/5 -  Lovin' the remake and Dennis Brown on it..

9. In His Own Words - 4.25/5 - Similar vibe to "Leaders"..
10. Nah Mean - 4.5/5 - Similar to the opening track in terms of being a "real rap based" track..

11. Patience - 3.5/5 Very laid back..Too long though, gets boring..
12. My Generation - 4.25/5 children/Joss Stone hook is actually fitting on here..Lil Wayne is great on here..Nas always shines on tracks like this..

13. Africa Must Wake Up - 4.75/5 - Love the whole vibe of this..2nd best track on the album..
