[K.Dub]

great

[Narrator]

Let's hope he keeps up his Platinum winning streak.  He is, after all, one of the few rappers alive who has consistently sold Platinum for over 10 years in the game (even if "Illmatic" took 7 years to get there and "Street's Disciple" just barely limped there).  He's got lots of buzz from the heads if not the mainstream, so hopefully that'll push him to Plat eventually.

[Vegasmac25]

that album deserves to be platinum.

I hope so, but his numbers have fallen off hard.

Props to Nasir 

[Sikotic™]

That's good. Nas put out a solid effory and deserves success.

[J$crILLa]

dope album, should go plat

[shaydee]

I want Nas to go back to his I Am style on his next album with less funk influence.

[GATMAN]

DOPE

[T-Dogg]

Good for Nas. Any success the album gets is totally deserved. Some real hip hop, top to bottom.

[Raphael]

great for nas one of the best albums of 2006

[Hatesrats™]

Should have sold more...(IMO)
Are record sales @ an alltime low?
