"This is one of NaS' best cd's. I read a few of the reviews and they do this cd no justice. 1. Stillmatic intro is just letting you why he was Nasty NaS. 2. Ether tore Jay apart. 3. Got Ur Self.. this song is okay, I like it but there are songs much better. 4. Smokin' is not the worst song on the album, it's second best. Last verse is nice. 5. You're Da Man another great song, NaS talks about what his plans were in the biz and what it turned out to be. 6. Rewind is a great visual song where he tells a story backwards. 7. One Mic...the best song on the album, NaS gets you hype with the whisphers to screams and just does wonders with the lyrics. 8. 2nd Childhood, a DJ Premier song..great lyrics with a great beat..NaS and Premo..great combo. and talks about people who don't grow up. 9. Destroy & Rebuild..NaS is tellin about the biggest projects in America.. QB..and how he's rebuilding and trying to make it unite...I love this song despite how everyone thinks the beat is not good, I love it. 10. The Flyest, NaS and AZ...I love this song too...NaS comes strong as well as AZ. 11. Braveheart party..let's just say i'm glad this was taken off the album. 12. Rule..second least favorite..i'm just not feeling this song, but it has good meaning..and I do listen to it. 13. My Country is a good song too..telling of how USA has treated it's people. 14. What Goes Around is a great song..talks about how things come back on those that do wrong and what things POISON the mind. 15. Bonus track 1 Every Ghetto..Great song with a great beat. I don't get to hear this song much because I start the cd over every time I put it in. I have two other bonus songs on my cd, Everybody's Crazy and No Ideas Original which talks about nothings original but the outcome all depends on HOW you do it. Everybody's Crazy talks about people and there actions. This is more than a 5 star cd because even though there is 1 bad song, the others make up for it, and it's taken off the newer version. I recommend this cd for everyone. I'm a big fan of NaS since Illmatic and I think it's his second best cd. Go check it. It's worth it!"
Another Hip Hop Classic

"If you reading this i dont know why. This cd is the illiest that has ever left any sound studio. Not only does it get five mics from the source but on the the tightests two tracks every put out(Ether and Got ur self A ...) he Murders [Jay-Z]. So if your smart and know what good music is then you need to get this. And expect More to come out of Nas soon."
