Title: nastra...DAMN
Review: Nas is sharp lyrist- along with Gza, killah Priest, and 9thPrince of Killarmy to name a few, but lacks in the way he chooses hisproduction. Basically, Primo is good but chops up his music using heavy drums and his trademark scratches, which makes his music sound the same. And Timbaland's music is really R&B, very simplistic skippy beats which also sounds the same which is apparent on "You owe me". It sounds like that beat he did for Missy Elloit. And Dame Grease, this is not a DMX album it's a Nas album. Nas and Havoc work good together. My prediction for a great Nas cd productionwise is RZA, Havoc, L.E.S., and Primo. But stay away from the Wackmasters, and then we have another classic. Lyrically, Nas wasn't complex on this one either. Like on Cuban Linx's "Verbal intercourse", he displays the Nasty in Nas. But here, maybe 1 or 2 standouts lyrically. Let's hope he can recapture his flame?
