This was I'd have to say his BEST lyrical album EVER. Following is Illmatic and It Was Written (IMO). The whole album was great except for the track with Chris Brown like Blaze said was a disappointment

best songs of the album:

Yall My Niggaz
Sly Fox
Queens Get The Money
We're Not Alone
Fried Chicken.

2 songs held it back from perfection 2 me

Make the world go around(That should of been one of those songs dat get released but not put on an album)
and
Hero(i like da track alot but i ain't think it was 4 dat album)

and i wanted the Proclamation and Be a Nigger to 2 be on the album

everything else was excellent and i think The Nas beats is a lil slept on because no one really big made productions and it ain't nothn 2 stand u up and nod your head 2...its a lyrical album and he picked beats 2 express da lyrics more then the beats

take make the world go around and hero off and replace it with Proclamation and Be a nigger too and i think it'll b 100%...dat depends where he would set the songs up

Lyrics: 99% Real
Flow: 85% Real
Production: 75% Real
X-Factor: 95% Real
Overall: 88.5% Real

i still stand by that if remixed by better producers this could have been the greatest album of all time.

my new theme song

"True poetry can communicate before it is understood"

-T.S. Eliot

battle record:

7-0-0

the government is trying to screw us
don't let America fuck you up
they have spies at your house
don't let them control you
the media sucks
the economy blows
they're useless like whales with no blowholes

as you can see, that poem has a great message, but it was put together in such a terrible manner that the message doesn't do a thing to improve it. it just stinks. now Nas' album isn't so seriously lackluster, but it definitely needs a decent amount of improvement.
