Here is my review:This is one of the controversial albums in Nas' discography.
Many southern rappers took offense to the title due to critics that deemed southern rap as the source that cheapened the quality of hip hop with their club-banging songs.
The sound of the album is mixed with diverse production which included producers like Scott Storch, Dr.Dre & Kanye West.
Perhaps the most anticipated was the collaboration of 2 of the greatest MCs of all time on Black Republican which featured Jay-Z, Nas' one time rival. They sure did impress with the majestic sound that clearly was engineered to showcase the 2 rappers.
The 1st half of the album had a generally rock-influenced sound while the other half has a more soulful feel.
My favorite song is Still Dreaming produced by Kanye West.
Overall, the album was well produced. This is certainly one of Nas' best albums.
Rating: 4/5 stars
