Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Nas's 1994 debut, Illmatic, is hands down one of the greatest rap LPs of all time. Open to debate is why he ditched his lyrical genius and raw, gully beats to go pop on his next three albums. On his fifth solo LP, Nas returns to his grimy, hardcore roots. On "Ether," Nas disses Jay-Z mercilessly (a response to Jay-Z's anti-Nas stabs on "Takeover" from The Blueprint). Nas then proceeds to dis Prodigy of Mobb Deep and a whole slew of other Queensbridge-based MCs on "Destroy and Rebuild." When he's not busy tearing into fellow New York-based MCs, Nas pulls a politico routine on "My Country," questioning the blind patriotism of many African Americans, flips rhymes with former Firm compadre AZ on "The Flyest," and pays homage to Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G on "Got Ur Self a...." However, the albums finest artistic moment comes on "Rewind," where Nas crafts a sexploit and murder-filled 'hood narrative in which the story and wordplay are recited in reverse (think Tarantino's Pulp Fiction on celluloid). With beats supplied by DJ Premier, Large Professor, and Swizz Beatz, Nas has arguably reclaimed his throne as the MC king of New York. --Dalton Higgins Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - NaS - StillmaticThis album was so important for Nas's career. If he wouldnt have done this album, im afraid people would have lost interest in Nas. After the terrible Nastradamus, and the mediocre at best I Am, He needed to get another homerun. And to be honest, i guess this wasnt really a home run, but it definetly got the bases loaded for the home run to follow in the form of God's Son. But none the less, he stepped his game up from his previous two releases to prove he was still relevant in rap. The biggest thing with this album was the swagger, and its more hardcore/street appearance. Now, we all know that Nas has always been street, but on songs like the very eerie and dark "Got Urself A..." he shows his true darkside. And then it also re-emerges on the ... Read More: Rating:  - I only have one question?Where is the track silent murder. I remember when this first came out I got the tape of it. Hey it was 96 they still sold those. That was a bonus track and it was fire. I have it on a home made mixtape I made but still you would think after all these years they would have included it ow well. This to me is nas best album beat, lyrics at the time it was hated on for not being illmatic but still this joint is one of my favorite rap albums period!!!!!! I can't diss Nas anymore because he has found his way and stopped bling blinging it up. Before his new joint comes out pick up the N@#ger mixtape. Later Rating: - still ripping em upwhether or not others feel this cd. Stillmatic is one hell of a release by Nas as he returns to form this time around slaying them on a variey of subjects throughout the cd. Whether its a stab back at Jay-Z on the heated "Ether" or Prodigy or Cormega on "Destroy and Rebuild" he's letting folks know that Nas is one of the best MCs out there without a doubt. He also does something i don't believe i've heard on a song period with "Rewind" where he raps in reverse throughout the track and turns this into one of these best songs on the cd even though its just over a couple minutes. It makes you want the song to last that much longer. Also of note are tracks like "My Country" with Nas making a political stand on issues of war and taking ... Read More: Rating: - Stillmatic is Still one of the bestNas is in my opinion one of the greatest emcee of all time, he is one of very few that stays true to the real Hip Hop and has never went commercial unlike some artists. I see some negative reviews and it interested me cuz how could this be a mediocre album, and the reason why there are negative reviews is because people are comparing to this his landmark debut album "ILLMATIC". People should not compare this album to Illmatic because no one can top that album not even Nas himself, and he knows it, just listen to his lyrics in the Intro ("They thought I'll make another "Illmatic" But it's always forward I'm moving Never backwards stupid here's another classic") just because this is Stillmatic (a supposed sequel to Illmatic) does not mean ... Read More: Rating: - All I need is One MicNow this is a great return to form from one of the best MC's that this world has ever seen. This is his best album since It Was Written in my opinion. Skip Nastradamous and even I Am and pick this up, great album. Highlights Ether (F*** Jay Z) Got Urself a... One Mic |
