if Nas was there then 1% of the albums commercial appeal would fall this albums commercial appealing ruined it
i heard somewhere that Nas didn't want to be on it,
maybe because he's already done 3 versions of NY State Of Mind including one already with Alecia Keys so he didn't want to do this "Empire State of Mind". The song is ok though, as for the album, Jay's rhymes aren't really impressive to me, they're alright and Jay-Z isn't wack, just nothing that makes me impressed especially with the lyrics on this album which seem worse then his others. However the production does seem pretty decent.

show me some good rhymes Drake brought show me some good ass rhymes that make him an MC
Drake feat. Elzhi & Phonte (prod. by 9th Wonder)
Drake isn't wack just being overrated atm.
i will admit though i don't like his flow too much on this song, seems a bit out of rhythm with the beat. alright lyrics though.
