MahmoudRFeb 24, 2007This album is a classic PERIOD. The so called "experts" who rated this album were paid big bucks by def jam to do so

Nov 27, 2010This 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.

Jul 14, 2012the fact that this recieved a 69 scares me. this was one of the strongest releases for hip hop in 2001. this is just as good if not better than the blueprint.some of the great tracks are youre da man ether one mic and destroy and rebuild. the only reason this doesnt get a ten is because it didnt match the greatness of illmatic but still a fantastic album

Aug 1, 2012After Nastradamus, Nas was almost not king of NY. Well with Stillmatic, he redeemed himself and I'd say he still is king of NY and always will be when he is rapping with advanced lyricism, and good production which are two reasons why Nas is the best of the game today. This is the definition of his name Nasty Nas, striking with another classic.

Jan 6, 2016A classic Nas album. Stillmatic is a strong LP that contains some of Nas' greatest songs from the aggressive Jay Z diss "Ether" to the retrospective "What Goes Around", to the creative storytelling in "Rewind". The album only has one dud, and it is "Braveheart Party", however, everything else is greatness.

Aug 14, 2020Hands down one of Nas best albums How it got a 69 rating on metacritic Absurd

Aug 19, 2021Nas risen from the dead with this masterpiece. It was an silencer to all the criticism that he was receiving from his competition

DonovanCMay 20, 2004This album is just sick! This is how your suppost to come back after a downfall. He came back aggressive and deep. Tracks 1-14 are ill. I think any rapper who can rap a whole song backwards makes an instant classic. Best rapper alive!!!!!!!!NAS

RyanT.Jul 19, 2002This is Nas best album since his debut Illmatic. There is some filler for example "Smokin". But overall this is Nas most introspective and consistent album since his debut.

-
FelonyShineFeb 23, 2003This album is definitely a classic album by a masterful artist. An artist should be rated by his ability to adapt to his circumstances, which are constantly changing. No one does it better than Esco.

MCDishDec 14, 2005I don't know what the critics are talking about, but Stillmatic is still the shit! It's got songs like One Mic, which'll hit you emotionally, cuz it's poignant, and Rewind is like Memento-the-rap song. This album is ingenious, it ain't like all that other pop, bland 50-cent materialism bullshit we hear on everyday radio.

AlishaMJan 19, 2006Practically every song on this album is perfect and unskippable. I can't say that for most albums. Classic.

LeonTDec 7, 2006This album is a TRUE CLASSIC!The critics reviewed it as bad because they like Jiggas "Girls,girls,girls",soft rap shit while Nas is too REAL 4 them!My favourite songs R Ether,My country & You`re da man...

Apr 30, 2012It's not Illmatic, but that's like saying Othello isn't Hamlet. Just because it's not as good doesn't change the fact that Stillmatic is an amazing album. Weakest track on the album is probably smoking and that's still very good. Though I don't get all the hate on Every Ghetto.
-
Jul 13, 2012GREAT ALBUM. Great compostion, great song matter and of course with Nas' lyrical talent this album goes as far as being an album that truly represents rap for it's originality and purpose.

Stillmatic is all the proof anyone needs that Nas isn't as special as he was five years before the album's release.
-
BlenderA surprising return to form. [Feb/Mar 2002, p.114]
-
VibeIt's infuriatingly inconsistent.... But this album's bittersweet beauty lies in the fact that Nas cares. [Feb 2002, p.120]
