Top tier nas again, this album explores more a more replayable approach than Illmatic and thins album is still full of enjoyable songs and including my favourite ever nas song 'I gave you power'. Nothing much wrong with the album really to be honest.
Favourite song: Affirmative Action
Least Favourite song: Nas is coming
Favourite Feature: Az on Affirmative action

Favourite tracks: America's most blunted, raid, fancy clown
Least Favourite tracks: Do not fire! , Hardcore hustle (Note: I love these tracks still but they are outshone by the other songs, still 9/10 songs imo)
Favourite Features: MED, Viktor Vaughan(DOOMs other character)

Considering the budget of the album and poor sales. It makes it even more incredible, that this album it what it is. Very unique sound dished with Danny Brown's unique voice with really cool lyrics. It's a fun record and also a very good one.

Favourite Feature: Inspectah deck on Duel of the Iron mic
I don't think this album is really that bad, I feel this album is a mixture of top-tier nas but also some of his worst songs like Dr knockboot, Money is my bitch, Big things and I want to talk to you. My favourite song: We will survive. My least favourite song: Dr Knockboot. Favourite feature: Scarface
OVR: 7.5/10, if we didn't have Dr knockboot in this I'd give it an 8
