    Stillmatic is all the proof anyone needs that Nas isn't as special as he was five years before the album's release.

    His music often lags behind in inspiration. [Mar 2002, p.106]

    Sadly, the cuts that reveal Nas' depth and drive get lost in a jumble of sloppy filler.

    A surprising return to form. [Feb/Mar 2002, p.114]

    This album brought Nas back to the forefront in Hip-Hop. Aside from maybe one track, this entire album brings that intensity that only Nas can bring.

    This album is a classic PERIOD. The so called "experts" who rated this album were paid big bucks by def jam to do so

    Nas proves he is the king of New York with uch songs as "Ether", "Got Urself A Gun", and an instant classic "Rewind".
