    i'm a huge nas fan. nas is my favorite rapper but this album wasn't that good to me. it was okay compared to his other albums. i liked a few songs on the album. overall it wasn't that good. his lyrics were still on point. but his production quality was lacking.

    Man, i wish this album was like Illmatic. A track list very inconsistent, half good half bad. Nothing special with this record... Ether is one of the best diss tracks ever tho

    This is supposed to be Nas' return to form? Both Illmatic and It was written highlighted his incredible storytelling chops over sample based beats. Stillmatic highlights Nas' arrogance over synthesized beats- yuck.

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

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

    It's infuriatingly inconsistent.... But this album's bittersweet beauty lies in the fact that Nas cares. [Feb 2002, p.120]
