dude you are on point here. a lot of ppl who dont listen to reggae (but like to pretend that they have knowledge) are saying this album is great and i think its based on pure novelty of nas doing a record with a reggae artist. this album is very poor and i know in a month or two no-one is going to care. this happens with every nas album, hell even on 'untitled' i was super hyped for like a week and then i never listened to it again.
yeh it was one of nas best albums i agree, but that doesnt say much since dude only has a few good albums, the rest range from ok to awful. untitled is not even as good as i am.for being such a great mc, nas makes terrible albums and picks awful beats.

I thought one song was the last on the album cuz it was so long and I still had like 4 joints to go after it.Knaan was the standout on all the tracks he was on.Album did start out strong, about just after the half way mark I felt like fast forwarding tracks.Some god-aweful hooks on here, even for Reggae.Lil Wayne feature was funny, I tryed to find a reason but I couldn't hate on him, held it down on a type of beat I've never seen him do before...Nas lyrics were dope, flow was str8, should release the pellas and have fans make their own remix projects...Beats were average, nothing pushing the limits of a true Hip-Hop/Reggae fusion though..Felt like Damian was just adding background vocals for Nas, didn't really stand out to me.. (Note: I don't listen to Reggae)I do like the concept and ideas on this album, just weren't able to pull it off imo, to make it above standards.I won't be listening to this after a week.dude you are on point here. a lot of ppl who dont listen to reggae (but like to pretend that they have knowledge) are saying this album is great and i think its based on pure novelty of nas doing a record with a reggae artist. this album is very poor and i know in a month or two no-one is going to care. this happens with every nas album, hell even on 'untitled' i was super hyped for like a week and then i never listened to it again.

From the perspective of hip-hop Nas hasn't dropped a wack album. From the perspective of Nas's catalogue he's droped a wack album.But on a given day Nas is easily top 10 and his catalogue supports it.
I thought Untitled was a solid album from Nas. Better than Hip-Hop Is Dead, that's for sure.

I Am is mediocre at best and is only saved by a couple awesome songs.
I was the first person in line when It came to hating on I Am...But a lot has changed since those days because I took the time to peep the album the way how Nas intended it to be heard in the first place (as a double disc) and it was quite a solid effort, much better than the released version.On top of that, I recently came across some perfectly executed blends (and I usually hate blends) of the I Am accapelas (from the retail version of the album) mixed with some 45 King and Godfather Don instrumentals.The songs have a completely different vibe and the album flows really well.So yeah, what brings the released version of I Am down are half the beats on there and the fact that it was heavily bootlegged back in the day which prevented it from being released in its true form
dude im baning you mother over here in eu. but im not a white,brown,black,yellow etc. im your nightmare
