Might be his most underrated effort.

Classic and I don’t care what anyone else says

Boy was he wrong. Still good tho

Black Republican is insanely hard ooof

Always really enjoyed this album

When I was a kid I used to always try and steal this cd out my dads collection but i was too scared and i couldnt ever find it anywhere at a cd store lmao so i never heard it until i was older

Love Black Republicans

Never really listened to Nas outside of Illmatic, gonna check this out now

Hate narrative albums like this but this was a great album.

Hip hop is not dead
Auto tune still more alive than ever lol

Nas sxn exists should've posted it there

But in

Good album

Lol even Lil Wayne said he agrees with him at the time, hip hop was going to s***, he made a shocking statement to force rappers to step it up, even though hip hop didn't die (thankfully) it encapsulated that time period.

Still Dreaming

Dope album. Not even in my top 5 Nas albums but still good.

Some people thought Nas was subliminally dissing the South(who was dominating radio at the time) which is what sparked the mini-beef with Jeezy.

Jeezy got shat on but after a few years he and Nas were cool again

Don't they have songs together?

My President Is Black. Nas was featured on that Jeezy song and sent shots at him on it

At the time yeah I probably myself woulda agreed I still just found it corny lol. But the crunk era and the beginning of t pain run and Soulja boy coming in a year after I couldn’t blame him

I remember hearing/seeing the video for this as it debuted on tv while I was in a foot locker

Edit- maybe Champs? I was buying a carmelo anthony jersey because I liked his gum. I didn’t watch any sport at the time

Classic. Don't really get why Nas would hate on Jeezy though, because Jeezy a true Southern poet

Jeezy dissed him first("Does Nas bust his guns"). Nas just responded to his diss.

Jeezy was more immature back then, basically typical young up n coming rapper s*** where the sudden stardom makes you delusional and disrespectful.. he got mad at Nas saying hip hop is dead s*** and took it personally. Said Nas is old and irrelevant. Then Nas outsold him

Interesting. Didn't know much about this beef.

How old were you? lol

Nas won
