Super raspy voice:

Youuurr a biiig girlll nowww

a homie in 8th grade burned all of e40s cds for me (2004 ), mf came to school with like 16 discs

My Ghetto Report Card review soon

That Bay Area - ATL alliance was a moment

Nastradaumus is definitely the weakest album I’ve heard from Nas so far, it’s not straight bad or unlistenable but a lot of it just goes by without how much impact and it really just feels like he’s going with the motions or rushing out an album because of those leaks from around the time

It’s not all bad there’s some standouts like Project Windows and Come Get Me but overall a lot of it is just kinda basic and doesn’t need to exist, most interesting part was the rising tension in the Jay-Z beef which I’m kinda missing out on by just listening to Nas but it’s whatever

Big Girl is trash though wtf was he doing on that, didn’t like the Shoot em Up flow either if that came out today it’d be a Tiktok meme, same with rapping over Africa

I’m looking forward to Stillmatic cause it seems like more of a reset and i’m glad he’s abandoning the face in front of the buildings cover gimmick

5.5/10

Favourite Tracks: Project Windows, Come Get Me, Family, You Owe Me

Least favourite: Big Girl

tldr: it’s boring, basic, and tired, some cool songs

Jay Z said this in Takeover lol
"One was ehhh.. the other was Illmatic
That's a one-hot-album-every-ten-year average"

second i heard that i instantly knew i wasn’t gonna like that one

it was a rough listen

You actually listened to that whole song?!

The Coochie man too real

i take back what i said before

i enjoy IWW more than i am it flows so good

is it a hot take to think this song is dope?

Now Playing:

Stillmatic

i know 2001 mfs went crazy over Gay-Z

fire song tho

okay wait im 3 songs in and holy s***

too wait to say something wild but if he keeps up like this

Not a miss on the damn album (unless you have the version with the Mary J song )

nope

just apple music

nastradaumus the only album so far i’ve deleted from my library after listening

besides like 5 songs

stillmatic intro was better than 90% of that

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.

Lmaooo that’s a disaster of an album.

Stillmatic and Lost Tapes will win you right back Lost Tapes is top 3 nas to me

One of the worst covers for a classic album
