(10/10)
GENIUS! PURE GENIUS!! JAY-Z CAN NO LONGER SLEEP COMFORTABLY. NAS HAS "RE-CLAIMED" HIS TITLE OF N.Y'S BEST. THE MOST CREATIVE LP TO EVER HIT STORES IS NO LONGER ILLMATIC. IT WAS A CLASSIC. THEN. NOW. ITS STILLMATIC. PEOPLE KEPT SAYING THAT NAS WOULD NEVER MATCH THE SKILL THAT HE DID WHEN HE MADE ILLMATIC. BUT HE DIDN'T JUST MATCH IT ON STILLMATIC. HE KICKED IT OUT THE DOOR. THIS IS THE BEST NAS CD. PERIOD. PRODUCTION IS FLAWLESS EXCEPT ON MAYBE 2 WEAK TRACKS SUCH AS "DESTROY & REBUILD" WHERE HE TELLS TALES OF THE BETRAYAL OF HIS STOMPING GROUNDS THE QB PROJECTS, AND RULE WITH AMERIE. HE TRIED TO MAKE IT A DEEP TRACK BUT SOUNDED MORE LIKE A WANNA-BE REMAKE OF THE CLASSIC TRACK OFF OF IT WAS WRITTEN, "THE MESSAGE"
HERE IS A LIST OF THE SONGS RATED OUT OF 10:
1. STILLMATIC (INTRO) 8/10
SHOWS WHATS IN STORE ON THE ALBUM
2. ETHER 9/10
BEAT COULD HAVE BEEN STRONGER BUT AN EXCELLENT WAY 2 OPEN UP THE CD. F*** JAY-Z!!!!
3. GOT UR'SELF A... 10/10
ONE OF THE BEST TRACKS OF THE ALBUM. I LIKE THE SOPRANOS ALSO.
4. SMOKIN' 7/10
A GOOD TRACK BUT NOT THE BEST.
5. YOU'RE DA MAN 8/10
NAS TELLS ABOUT THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF THE RAP GAME.
6. REWIND 10/10
I HAVE NEVER HEARD A SONG MORE THOUGHT OUT. ONE OF THE MOST IN-GENIUS TRACKS IN THIS HIP HOP GENERATION.
7. ONE MIC 11/10
YES 11 OUT OF 10. THE DEEPEST SONG NAS HAS PROBABLY EVER PERFORMED. THIS PROVES HES THE KING OF N.Y.
8. 2ND CHILDHOOD 9/10
NICE SLOW BEAT. AND OF COURSE N-A-S ARE THE LETTERS THAT SPELL.. NAS NAS NAS...
9. DESTROY & REBUILD 6/10
NOT A GREAT TRACK. POORLY PRODUCED
10. THE FLYEST 9/10
AZ IS PERFECT ON THIS TRACK AND HIS LYRICS ARE GREAT.
11. RULE 5/10
WEAK ATTEMPT OF A SONG. SHOULD HAVE LEFT IT OFF THE ALBUM.
12. MY COUNTRY 8/10
... WEAK CHORUS BUT A GOOD SONG.
13. WHAT GOES AROUND 9/10
NOT MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS ONE. JUST AN OVERALL GOOD TRACK.
14. EVERY GHETTO 10/10
THIS SONG IS GREAT! ANOTHER ONE OF THE BEST SONGS ON THE ALBUM. THE BEAT MATCH NAS' LYRICS PERFECTLY.
