"I am tired of seeing all these wack Nas remix albums. Now, before all you Nas fans get upset, note what I said: all these wack Nas REMIX albums (The Best of Nas, From Illmatic to Stillmatic). This collection is pretty predictable: 20 tracks with the first ten being standard songs and the last ten being lazy remixes (and there's more than one remix of "Made You Look"). The regular songs are once again mostly taken from Illmatic and Nastradamus (I still don't understand that), with one or two tracks from the other albums thrown in for good measure.Another thing that gets me about this collection is that it has most of the same songs that were on the last remix album, The Best of Nas: "It Ain't Hard To Tell", "One Love", "Nastradamus", "You Owe Me", "Hate Me Now", and "If I Ruled the World", to name a few. The only real difference is that "Got Ur Self A..." took the place of "You Won't See Me Tonight". All in all, this collection is nothing new. It's probably not available here any more because people realized that nobody wants it.Anthony Rupert"
