    The people that rate this album 10 know nothing about rap.Nas has fallen off since his last album and there are alot of my favorite artists falling off these days.When you look at all Nas albums before this you can see the spiral downwards.He sounds like an idiot trying to fill 2 cds that should never have been made.You idiots that love this crap are the reason he thinks he can put this The people that rate this album 10 know nothing about rap.Nas has fallen off since his last album and there are alot of my favorite artists falling off these days.When you look at all Nas albums before this you can see the spiral downwards.He sounds like an idiot trying to fill 2 cds that should never have been made.You idiots that love this crap are the reason he thinks he can put this crap out.The industry is getting so bad that we have to travel back to the 90's to find anything worth listening to.Thanks to everyone that has supported this bogus s**t!

  1. Street’s Disciple reveals Nas at a new peak, finally comfortable in the post-millennial hip-hop world.
  2. Yes, it's "sprawling," "massive," "has lots of filler," "should have been one disc," etc.-- but guess what: It's cocksure and it works.
