Nas

Street's Disciple

Illtragic or Illfabulous?

Review Score:

(6/10)
First I wanna say that "Just A Moment" is a directly jacked beat from Freeway's "Hear the Song" which was released over 2 years ago. Check it out for yourselves. It makes me wonder if more beats aren't jacked. Nas, don't turn into Dipset.

Having said that, the rest of the album sounds like a Ancient Middle-Eastern Jedi-Mind Tricks album. Not that thats bad, but not that that's great either. The beats are interesting and refreshing aside from the normal boom boom clap, cue woman singing, all over these days. But they also sound flimsy and quickly produced. Also, Nas' lyrics are lackluster, sounding important, but never really capitalizing on anything in particular.

Although, this will grow on you, and the beats, in their favor, sound like ninties-jigga, Digible Planets, and again, Jedi Mind Tricks. Appreciate the, or so I hope, originality of the content.

This isn't a horrible cd. Only horrible for those looking for Nas to repeate his older style, and horrible for those who wanna hear chingy yell "hurr", dmx yell "what", g-unit yell, well, "g-unit" and all that jazz.

This is for people who appreciate, don't underestimate.

Peace.
