"God's Son is the best work done by Nas in his career. Tracks like "Made You Look" and "I Can" are the best songs recorded by the artist. The album is more street than hip hop, but is still good listening. Nas also focuses more on his music than his beef with Jay-Z and the Roc-A-Fella family. All tracks on the album live up to the name God's Son. Nas features artists on his album such as Alicia Keys, Kelis, and the late Tupac (2Pac) Shakur. The second bonus CD is also great even though it only contains three songs. This album is definitly worth buying and it's worth all 5 stars that have been given."
Best since Illmatic

"I got this CD off the web like 2 weeks ago and still can't stop listening to it. Nas has come back on God's Son and proved he is one of the best in NY, BP2 is garbage! I plan on going out and coping this the second it comes out. The first half of the album is amazing, starting off with two three very strong songs. Also, The Dance is a touching and effective tribute to his mother. This is neither Nasty Nas or Escobar...this is God's Son."
Good cd-buy the parental advisory one

"this is a great cd. i am a huge nas fan. having that said: DONT BUY THIS CD! BUY THE PARENTAL ADVISORY VERSION. its not that theres alot of cussin in this cd, its just the way the words are edited out its just really annoying and ruins the way nas flows. come to think of it, this cd really isnt 4 stars. it really is closer to 5. im just sayin it cause you should buy the parental advisory version. if youre thinking about buying the new jayz...well it depends what music you like. if you like r&b and alot of singing in your rap then buy it. i however cant stand r&b so i hate that cd. i mainly just said that cause nas and jayz are so often compared and they have new cds out now."
Skills, Street Knowledge, Sincerity, Passion....

"Straight like that..hiphop is back!..it's been back since Nas released the Qb's finest album of underground hard core rap..but now within a year he released 3 full length albums..Stillmatic, Lost Tapes and finally the cream of the crop God's Son...Honestly there's not much to say except..it's a classic his 3rd in a row and he has solidified his position as one of the greatest rappers of all time...Nasir Jones has raised the bar again, setting a standard that artist cannot reach...It's time to give it up..He's the best bar none...he's had the album of the year for 2 years straight now...c'mon..he's got verses better than rappers albums...Nas is crazy...street knowledge, book knowledge, sincerity, honesty, passion etc...he does it all. This is an amazing album, which I'm sure you will enjoy."
The Last Real Nigga In The Game

"Nas holds it down yet again on this instant classic with old school beats and fresh creative lyrics the way only Nas can do. Nas grabs your attention out the gate with "Get Down", "Cross", "Made you Look", and "Last Real Nigga Alive". While you also get a taste of his creativeness on tracks like "I Can" and "Book of Rhymes" though I disagree with Thugz Mansion on this CD it's a nice touch. Nas continues to impress just when you think he's down an out he hit you perfection i don't think I've heard a better CD this year except probably "Lost Tapes". You cant teach creative Lyrics it's a gift, Lyrics don't need beats to hold them it's God given Talent and if you are a true Hip-Hop fan you know that this is classic."
