NaS should have called this album "stillmatic," because its the closest thing to Illmatic out of all of NaS' LP's (and its about the same length). Anyway, fans and nonfans and even haters of NaS will like TLT. For the first time in years, the production on this album is top notch on every track. Nas comes dope on every cut, showing why he is one of the top lyricists in the game. "Poppa was a Playa" will be playin in your head all day, guaranteed. Just straight heat from NaS, and a very good pre-release marketing CD for the "Godson", which comes out in Novemeber.
