Track Rating:
2. ****1/2 - Nas' switches his flow nicely

9. ***** - Soothing and heavenly
10.***** - Quan is the next best thing
11. ****1/2 - Message saves the song cause the beat isn't that great
12. ***** - The "Jam Master Jay" remake
Disc 2
1. ***** - 1st of 2 Nas produced songs.
2. ***** - Arguably the best song on the CD!
3. ***** - Tribute to Rakim. 2nd of 2 Nas produced songs
4. ****1/2 - Chillin' track but Nas, why do you have Luda on this song?
6. ***** - Takes you back into the Illmatic era
7. ***1/2 - Weakest song on CD. Sounds like an "I Am" reject.
8. ****1/2 - Nice song. Lyrics could have been slightly better.
9. **** - This song is nice but does not fit the album
10. ***** - History is made on this track - Nas & Olu should make an album together!
11. War - ***** - 2nd favourite song on CD! Sounds like an Illmatic song.
12. **** - Nice tribute, but does not fit the album.
13. ***** - Has the word "Classic" written all over it.
Comments: It's sad to see people post bad reviews on this album, just because of the beats. Nas is one of the ONLY mainstream rappers who actually HAS SOMETHING TO SAY OTHER THAN THE OTHER RAPPERS! Next time I hope to see Nas work with Premo, Large Pro, Pete Rock, Alchemist & 9th Wonder cause they would provide Nas with outstanding production.
