Nastradamus was so bad Nas had to redeem himself by making Stillmatic

There is no way you can defend Nastradamus.

To me, HHID is his worst album, the production on that is where I think Vlad and them pull all their hate from. I only like maybe 5 songs on that whole album, :gag:. Nastradamus is a little bit better, I think that album was ass too tho, like a D+

The album that deserves defending is "Street's Disciple". There are some misses, it's a double album, but he was spittin on there, the low moments are really low but there are way more high moments.


those are the 2 weakest Nas albums for me as well:ehh:

This was never a good album. "Project Windows" is one of Nas's best songs. "Last Words" and "Life We Chose" are dope as is "Come and Get Me". "You Owe Me" was cool. I still have "Family" as the weakest Nas/Mobb collabo. "Big Girl" is the worst Nas song. Even though, "Come Get Me" is dope, it's the worst Nas/Premo track to be on a Nas album. "You Owe Me", while good, is still the worst of the Nas/Timbo tracks.

That said Nastradamus is easily Nas's worst album.

Nas setting the bar so high for himself is why Nastradamus got the criticism it got; Nas is the most over scrutinized rapper in the history of the game. He’s like LeBron.

I was looking forward to this album but was disappointed. Listened to it numerous times but couldn't force myself to call it a good album. I still listen to Project Windows but could do without the rest of it. Not there aren't other good songs on it but nothing that I think to return to.
