Brilliant MC Drops Another Brilliant Album

Review Score:

(10/10)
Wow, this album is simply amazing. Hip Hop heads finally got what they deserve. Pure Hip Hop. No fillers, no [junk]...Straight up classic! The production on this album is tight. The beats are hot and suit Nas's style. Nas drops mad multies, metas, similies, and punches. He is an amazing lyricist! I don't hate Jay-Z, matter fact I got all of Jay-Z's albums but I would pick this one over "Blueprint 2". Nas did drop 3 classics in a row, "Stillmatic", "Tha Lost Tapes", and now "God's Son". The first song, "Get Down", is produced by Nas himself and is an AMAZING track with hot lyrics, hot beat, and intelectual concept. "The Cross" produced by Eminem, is a tight track with a very hardcore, Dre-Em type beat. Has a little west coast flavor to it also. Then is "Made You Look" which is a BRILLIANT track. Very catchy but very hardcore at the same time. Nas drops hot verses here. After that is "Last Real N___ Alive" which has an alright beat and tight lyrics. Then it's "Zone Out" which is a hardcore track. This track focuses on the lyrical content then the beat. I think the Bravehearts are OK, they are no Outlawz, but they are not whack. Next Nas kicks it with "Hey Nas" which is a nice track to chill too in the clubs or when with your girl. Then it's the inspirational anthem "I Can" which is a great joint, and it has nice multies. Nas is great storyteller, this track is a proof. After that is "Book Of Rhymes" which is Nas rhyming out of his old Rhyme books. After that is the well-known duet with Tupac Shakur "Thugz Mantion". This is not the version that appears on Better Dayz, but it's as hell. Nas drops 2 verses here, while Pac drops 1 verse. A very intelectual track which is "Mastermind" is next. This track is hot when it comes to the lyrical contnet. The beat is very oldschool and doesn't really fit Nas's verses too well. After that is the standout track, "Warrior Song" which is my favorite track on this album. One of my favorite Nas tracks. It's a wonderful duet with Alicia Keys. Nas drops some of his truest rhymes. Very smart verses, and hot beat to go with it. A definate stand-out. Then is "Revoulutionary Warfare" which features Lake. This track is very smart and has a good concept. Then is "Dance" which was in the Memory of Nas's Mother. The beat echo's in my head sometimes. It's a definate standout and it's one of my favorite Nas songs. He just drops such emotional lyrics, you want to cry with him. The last track "Heaven" has a good beat and amazing lyrics. Nas spits some of that emotional, powerful lyrics. On the bonus CD, Nas included 3 tracks. Those were "Thugz Mirror", "Pu**y Kills", and "The G.O.D." These are all hot tracks and if you didn't buy the limited edition CD, then download these tracks. The Bonus CD also unlocks exclusive content. Overall, this is a true classic. A must own for any music collector. A very powerful peice of art!!
