Nas delivers some prerecorded material (half of which I have heard years ago). It's got no weak spots, all good songs but no great 1 or 2 to get it 5 stars (I would've liked to see "Silent Murder" on this one). Features no one except Nas (AZ talks in the background on one song). Production is handled by some bigger names and is good. L.E.S. and Hill Inc. each do 3 songs, Alchemist does 2, and Precision, Al West, Rockwilder, and D-Dot all do 1. A good cd to have for his fans.#1 - 8.5#2 - 8.5#3 - 8#4 - 8#5 - 9#6 - 8#7 - 8.5#8 - 9#9 - 8.5#10 - 9#11 - 8.5#12 - 8.5b. Nasir Jones (9/14/73)b.
