-
I Geezy's been sendin' me tracks and lettin' me in on this album; man, it is pretty dope. "I Can" is just amazing. More people should make stuff like this.
-
I still ain't heard it, it's in the post according to play.com, it'll hopefully be here by monday. It's got a very high standard to live upto to be his best though!

Where did you get that idea? You even posted in this thread: http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?board=4;action=display;threadid=25190
-
I've been bumpin the album for 2 weeks. It is great. Not as good as his last, but I do think the beats are better than "Stillmatic."
"Dance" is a real beautiful song.
-
I gotta give him real props for makign real music. The dance, and I Can are both awesome stuff. The Last Real Nigga Alive I gotta respect too.
-

i agree
-
umm... the "Cross" is on the album... 14 tracks...this album is the best one from NAS? LOL...u gotta be kiddin me...Nas will never make another album good as Illmatic..period. and how the hell is this album 5 mics? i say its about 4 Mics...the worst song is "Zone Out"..wack ass beat..wack ass lyrics...
-
How about this. Compared to all the other releases of the past few years it is a 5 mic album.
But no, it isn't better than Illmatic.
-
hmm, lyrically it isnt better than illmatic..i agree to that
however god's son can be rated as the number 1 or 2 album considering its beats quality
-
1. Get Down - 4.25/5
The Cross - 4/5
2. Made You Look - 4.25/5
3. Last Real Nigga Alive - 4/5
4. Zone Out (feat. Bravehearts) - 2/5
5. Hey Nas (feat. Kelis & Claudette Ortiz from City High) - 3.75/5

One of the best albums this year - hip-hop. No classic tracks like "Stillmatic"...but I think it is Nas's 3rd best LP behind "Illmatic" and "Stillmatic."
-
Do you guys not have "The Cross" on the album? Or is this just what you downloaded?
-
I went into Sam Goody and "The Cross" was on the tracklisting yesterday.

get down is like 5/5
and i dont agree with your other rating
you forgot to add cross
all the songs from stillmatic get annoying after a while
while god's son cd have a lot of replay value
god's son best cd since eminem show
-
I recieved my copy yesterday, no bonus CD though >:( This is the north American version, when it drops in the UK if I see it with the bonus disk i'm gonna cop it again and sell this version on e-bay or something. Anyways, as far as rating this album, after one full listen i'd say it's got the potential to pip "The Fix" as being my fav. album of '02, which means it has the potential to be a 5 mic album 'cos thats what I consider "The Fix" to be!
-

WTF? Replay value? The album has been out for 2 days.

LOL Yup, that things been burnin' up the replay value, LOL... been bumpin it two days straight... wait, I just got an idea for a thread, LOL.
-
how many different versions are there of this cd ???
1-The cd and the bonus cd
2-Just gods son,no bonus cd
3-i checked bestbuy.com and there nas (god son) cd only has 12 songs wtf is up??
-
Does nas come wit tight lyrics on god son???
-
foolish move leaving on zone out and taking off the cross.
its a good album tho..no classic...but more replay value than stillmatic.
-
Get we get what's on the album straight?
I got the album. "The Cross" is on it. There is 14 tracks. No bonus CD came with mine. Purchased in Canada.

IN USA - "The Cross" is on the CD. I don't see no more after "Heaven."

Same here, except for the Canada bit. I'm defo looking out for the version with the bonus CD though, can't be missing out on those extra tracks.
-
Does nas come wit tight lyrics on god son???
I wouldn't say they're his best, but their tight, he's got some really personal material on there (stuff like "Dance", "Heaven", "Last Real Ni@@a Alive" etc), more so than ever before i'd say. I'm loving "I Can", he's on some Slick Rick type ish on that song.
-
The jury has been on the case, and here's the final verdict:
CLASSIC
1: Illmatic
DOPE
2: Lost Tapes
3: Stillmatic
4: God son
2 & 3 is extremely close.. and 4 is pretty close to 3.
I just feel that Stillmatic had a better edge/finish than God Son.

The Lost Tapes i feel was crap, it had some really messed up beats, just didnt sound right, apart from that i agree with your ratings.

I totally disagree about the lost tapes, I think it was a great album, lyrics and the beats where superb and I always bump it, purple IMO is one of the best track ever by anyone, Love everything about it.
As for God's Son I picked it up today and so far its dope, most tracks on it are dope, oh and mines got the cross on it and I got the bonus disk, UK!

As of right now that's how I feel and the "dope" albums will be classics. I gave The Lost Tapes a serious listen the other night and I can't find anything wrong with it. I wouldn't change anything about it or wouldn't take off any tracks and there's not many albums I can say that about.
-
Copped the UK version of "God's Son" today, including the bonus disk. I'm thinking of selling the version I got from play.com (for about £8) so if anyone is interested get at me through a PM.
-
I'm glad Nas didn't disappoint like a lot of other rappers did with their albums this year. I'd give 5's to 'The cross' and 'Dance' and a 4-4.5 for 'Get down' and 'Last real nigga alive'.
BTW....my CD HAS the cross AND the bonus CD.
-
I was joking on the Lost TApes post that i made, it isnt crap, its really dope.

yea Nas isnt a dissapointing rapper, in most of his albums, he tries to stay consistent with his quality

The one thing I love about Nas's music is (you can look at this as an advantage or a disadvantage) that it's so comfortable to listen to, it's like some peoples music you need to give a very hard listening to, it may take a few months for you to appreciate it and at times I find that frustrating and move onto someone else's material, but with Nas I find I enjoy his work from the very first listen, it's easy listening. BUT I did find when I first got "Illmatic" it took me a while to fully appreciate it, but I was very young back then so thats no suprise really.

Here I agree with u 100%, NAS's music is very very acsessable, first and for all thanx to his amazing vocal skillz...dude's vocalz is simply unfadeable, flow delivery, voice, simply perfect....even when his lyricz suck cat's ass, it's very easy to let it go, thanx to his vocalz, deluding yourself into believing that the overly poetic, unclear and blured shit u'z hearing is just something deep you aren't worthy of understanding....
on this note, I would also like to mention his exadurated poetisizing, which helped him overcome his lyrical disabillities in the structural and conceptual ereaz....NAS at his best, when he ueses his full poetsial, like it showes on Illmatic and Lost Tapes, is prolly one of the greatest artists of our time, but untill not long ago, these moments(when NAS got to his best) were numbered, Im happy to see him going in the right direction despite all the bad choices he's made.
-

Lol, I have to admit I do agree with you to some point here, but I honestly do feel I understand the content of "One Mic", but yeah, sometimes I do have moments where i'm listening to him and i'm like 'did that actually make any sense at all', but I do consider him a great lyricist and a deep one at that the majority of the time. But there are ALOT of other MC's that do this too, namely Ras Kass, but he is still regarded as one of the best ever by most. I think this is why I consider 2Pac to be the all round best MC because although at times his lyrics were simplistic they always made sense, he never just blabbed on, using big words and senseless shit to make himself look like a real lyricist.
Props on giving Nas props though, I kind of always thought you were one of those stubborn Jigga fans, you just proved me wrong.

NA homie, Im just trying to be objective and see the full picture, even if sometimes it means I have to nearly hate on certain rappers, I just can't stand unconditional love when it comes to music, although even I have exceptions. Im happy not to disapoint you ;).

That's how I feel too, I have a good feel for God's Son already. And it took my awhile to get that way with Illmatic too. At Illmatic's first few listens I didn't really see all the hype around it. But once you get a good feel for Illmatic you should realize what a gem it is.
-
God's son Is a dope album. But It ain't touching Stillmatic. IMO.
-
I still dont feel Illmatic, shes way to old school for my liking, but I will have to listen to it more and more.
-
yeah this cd is bangin
