A Definitive Masterpiece from the Storyteller

Review Score: (10/10)
They mention that Slick Rick is the storyteller but I have to admit that Nas' stories are more amazing. They cover a variety of subjects from going postal to scoring chicks and the evil consequences of committing crimes. It's a warning to both white and blacks. Racism is a constant theme throughout each song and Nas points out the shortcomings of both songs. The best song is "Shoot 'em up" and the one about the new world where his metaphors of Alexander Graham Bell is a definitely memorable line. Being DJ X-Caliber I admire the work of the Columbia although I wonder whether the Trackmasters could compare to RZA or Primo or Pete Rock on the 1 and 2. I highly recommend this CD to those who want a meditative masterpiece of urban culture at its finest.
