Nah it is a dope song, one of Nas' most performed at shows. He always does R&B infused "for the ladies" type tracks well.

I don’t know if this is blasphemy among Nas fans but honestly, I think I Am… is better than It Was Written

Nas’ reaches at the mainstream hit wayyyy better while still being true to himself as one of the best rappers and it’s got more of that late 90s swag that I love

Lyrically and theme wise each album so far has felt like an evolution and the next chapter for Nas as he gets bigger and more prominent in hip hop

The features are great this time as well having more bigger names but less in general, they all carry their weight though especially DMX and Scarface, wasn’t too crazy about the Aaliyah collab though, something about it just wasn’t hitting for me

Nas storytelling across these albums just gets better and better too, NY State Of Mind 2 and We Will Survive are great examples same with Undying Love just being an insane story with some real life parts thrown in

Album isn’t entirely perfect though some of the tracks near the end just start to get a bit too goofy for me, I think im just not a fan of Nas love songs, Dr Knockboot is a good example

Overall though this is a very good addition to his discography and I don’t see why this was disliked at the time

Favourite Tracks: NY State Of Mind 2, Hate Me Now, We Will Survive, I Want To Talk To You, Life Is What You Make It, Big Things, Nas Is Like, Undying Love

Least Favourite Tracks: K-I-SS-I-N-G, Dr. Knockboot, Money Is My B****

8.5/10

I gotta be honest with you guys, may be jumping the gun but Stillmatic is the greatest Nas album so far

After Nastradaumus a reevaluation was needed and Nas hit the RESET button with this album and took it back to basics

From the very first song Nas is rapping with more intensity than his past 2 albums and his wordplay is at its best

Then it goes into ETHER yea some parts wouldn’t fly today but same with Halftime on Illmatic so who cares the whole song is insane

and he just doesn’t let up from there, the whole album is packed with intensity, great beats, razor sharp flows and bars that are so well crafted and great song topics or themes like Rewind

There wasn’t a single moment on this album I zoned out at all I was super tuned in for the whole hour

as a successor to Illmatic this album is perfect, the perfect natural evolution and Nas at his best

Classic/10

Favourite Tracks: Stillmatic, Ether, Got Urself A Gun, Smokin, You’re Da Man, Rewind, One Mic, 2nd Childhood, The Flyest, Rule, My Country

Not mad at this opinion, it’s a classic no doubt. But before you leave this album you need to listen to the track they deleted from history

This was the track right after the flyest when I bought the cd on drop day!

lmao it doesn’t sound that bad, kinda goofy but it’s not the worst

it doesn’t fit on this album at all though

it’d fit better one of the last 2 albums
