I gotta say regardless of the thought behind it and what-not,
I just didn´t feel this one like the older Nas stuff, and I´m talkin first and second album..
Maybe Nas has already peeked?

Is what we´re seeing and hearing a gradual but significant decline in skill and delivery?
I haven´t heard any of the other tracks off the latest album, but I sure hope that this one wasn´t an indicator of what´s to come (as far as the rest of the tracks), ´cuz this one here,
simply wasn´t all that good, beat, lyrics delivery and video...I´m not very impressed at all..

Oh yeah, them organ sounds that he had for the chorus has been used, with the same melody. (The British rap group HIJACK used it on their album-The horns of Jerico, back in 1991).

Naah man, if Nas wants the kinda props for this new effort, that he´s gotten earlier, he simply needs to come doper and harder.....this wasn´t very Illmatic..
And don´t tell me about this bein a fly metaphor and all that, I do get that.
This just wasn´t that tight, matterfact I felt it was kinda sloppy for bein Nas.
Especially after all the hype about this album.
