I would POX Jigga without "Regrets", for sure. "One Love" has never resonated with me like it has with, well, everyone else.

I'm not insane and I do care - Nasty Nas was one of the best rappers of all-time. Still is actually. Unfortunately these guys who called themselves Nastradamus (haha) and God's Son (HAHAHA) kidnapped him and locked him in a basement and we haven't heard from him in ten years. Nasty Nas had this soft, wise tone to his voice. I'm thinking of "One Love" and "It Ain't Hard To Tell" right now. He's never sounded like that again. These other guys are just trying to take Nas' identity and make it "harder". Its time for people to stop blaming beats for Nas' decline. He's ruined his fair share of good beats over the years too. Damn, at one time, I thought Nas was the greatest to ever pick up a mic. So I'm not hatin' just to be hatin'.― Johnny Badlees (crispssssss), Wednesday, March 17, 2004 8:43 PM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

if someone was going to compare jay-z/nas albums ten years ago, jay had a string of consistent classics, one after another, but ten years later, after blueprint became a trilogy, a black album and a kanye album, american gangster... it looks a lot different.
― dylannn, Tuesday, 9 July 2013 23:59 (ten years ago) link
yeah honestly i would prob rate every post-2001 Nas album over every post-2001 Jay album

I definitely would. but I probably like Stillmatic and God's Son (and even the s/t) more than most of this board, so read into that what you will!

nothing to sniff out really but 'nah mean' is coolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNbWSExg47Y'as we enter' kinda in that same zone as 'otis' where the beat is undercooked and thin but the song is fine anyway cos they seem like they are having fun bouncing off each otherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMGd3mAfl-0

forgot all about "nah mean," that song is legit
sadly the rest of the album had, like, k'naan guest spots

new nas album comments.i like a nas album to be a sprawling mess, rococo mediocrity studded with sudden genius, mix of stoned paranoia and nostalgia, sentimentality, room for even bad ideas to be worked out. 7 tracks all kanye beats is like all advice given in reviews of nas albums since 1996: too long can't pick beats please no weird sex talk or pretending to be a gun. praying for a real album with 16 tracks no i.d., salaam remi + a dozen lesser producers, go out with that.
