One of Nas’ best projects imo

Feel like a lot of people slept on this because it was a reggae collab. Damn shame too because this is a legitimately great album. Very solid project in Nas' discography and still holds up well.

living in the shadow of your father, it is rare for an artist to do original material.

be could’ve easily just take the simple way. just doing marley covers

instead he chose the goat & they forced def jam’s hand to create this 😎

it is interesting to look at the producer credits dm produced 90 percent of it

in fact, 3 tracks are only with 1 co-producer- his brother stephen marley

i didn’t even know the credits until now think about how rare that is - for one person to just take the production duties on a major label.

you can count them on your hands in hip hop. you may get to only 7

very underrated project

Yep this and The Carters both mad underrated

I've got something to live for
I've got surplus to give more
And we're all welcome through his door
So I count my blessings

I agree. Amazing project and a personal classic.

I'm still convinced that this inspired Hov to make "Bam" too.

Bro when this came out, I was sleeping all over it

Went back to it again like 2 years ago, s*** is legendary

Yeah I remember it kinda was under the radar tbh

glad i been seeing this record a lot on ktt

i spinned this more than nas first two as a kid (this cd always stayed in my dads car, illmatic was just played by myself on my own time)

i got so much love for this record it tales me black

ils albums like these that make me disrespect nas haters

most of u niggas just think it’s illmatic and that’s it, this nigga got several classics on him fr

Not the first time Nas influenced Jay Z for that album

Nas's only real misses are Nastradamus and Nasir.

When you factor in his whole body of work including Lost Tapes, his catalog is great.

Never heard the 1st track

Can't stop apocalypse my synopsis is CATASTROPHIC

The iTunes bonus track is on streaming now as well

Only time Wayne and Nas were on the same song I think.

Found it

Damian Marley isn’t titled on the album. It’s just under Nas.

Smh, AM with the disrespect.

Rly? When i go to damien marley’s page its there
