Plus some more mainstream stuff would be nice - he got at coolndre/polow on this one, he should keep that going. hook back up with timbo, dre, etc...I'm not expecting much out of this release, but maybe I'll be surprised.yeah great idea, do what every other motherfucker in the game is doing. that's a big reason why nearly everything that drops is bullshit.

queens get the money is probably the worst track... i dont know how anyone can call that a beat.did anyone else think Game was Nas when he first started his verse?
After about 5-6 spins of the album, its awsome. Best shit i've heard in a long time...my review of the album is...1. Queens Get The Money (3.5/5} Lyrics are sick2. You Cant Stop Us Now (4/5)great song but too short should have had 1 more verse3. Breathe (4.5/5)4. Make The World Go Round (4/5}If nas wants to sell some albums then wtf is he waiting for..DROP THIS SHIT5. Hero (4.5/5)great song just wish at the end there was 1 more hook6. America (4.5/5] really great song nas has always been great when he speaks the truth7.Sly Fox (5/5)great beat great lyrics and great song8. Testify (4.5/5)9. N.I.G.G.E.R. (4/5)thought be a nigger too was the better song but now that iv listened to it more this was the better cut to put on the album.10. Louis Farrakhan (4.5/5)this is on some straight 2pac shit11. Fried Chicken (4/5} great song but wish there was more of a hook in it lol12. Project Roach (4/5}short song but is unbelievable how much nas makes u think13. Y'all My Niggas (5/5}Fav track on the album..Tell me the las time u heard nas have energy like this in a song14. We're Not Alone (5/5}another one of my favs..no1 can top nas when he gets emotional15. Black President (4/5}lovin the pac sample great song Album Overall: 4.5/5This is some REAL HIPHOP nas drops a very great album...to me its album of the year so far simply becaus i get tired of rappers rappin bout cars money n hos so this album is different and is fukin amazing...the beats on the album might not have been bangin but they were the type of beats nas likes to use because it fits his style, i dont get why people wnna hear him on beats by just blaze n swizz beats shit lik tht because to me nas would sound lik shit on those kind of beats.Thank you nas for givin me somethin to listen to for a while...ill be anticipatin ur next cd "crackers"

Exactly. Nas has his own dark sound workin with the producers he works with. Why fuck it up tryin to make an album that sounds like a TI or JayZ album. Two completely different styles.But the point is that HES never done it before. Getting mainstream beats but not changing his style of spit would be dope imo. At least it allows him to try something different - even Nastradamus was half normal nas shit.

I would also like to see Nas working with A list producers. But I'm not talking about Timbaland on some techno shit but his Nas sounds only with better quality. He had Will.I.Am, Scott Storch, Dre, Kanye... on HHID and it worked great because he didn't adapt to them but the producers adapted to the Nas sound. Same with Nigger, we have Polow Da Don and IMO Hero is the best club/hype joint since In Da Club. Maybe add some Just Blaze, Hi-Tek and Khalil.And I'm not saying he should quit working with his regular producers, Sticman on Nigger was great but Salaam Remi is just awful these days.
fuck it, a Nas cd produced by only Just Blaze could be a classic.
Im happy with the beats on the album. If I didn't know who did the beats, I would of guessed they were big time producers.
