"Word to mama, any lineup of rhymers
Could bring any drama, anytime, the city's mine/ Nas Is Like, Love Undying, Money's My bytch, In Thugz Mansion, thugs dancin' around to fly shyt.
Pharaoh garment's Prada, Egyptian camelback-riders, Pyramid architects, Perignon bottles/ Money, jewelry want me to come, get me, hit me but don't miss me, you history/ Lead flowin' around like a Frisbee, Italian dons from Sicily kiss me/
This ain't 50, this ain't Jigga, this ain't Diddy, this ain't Pretty/ Pain, power, p*ssy and pistols, lyrically no one, hold none near me, hear me/ Kids cheer me like The Count of Monte-Cristo/ Steady poundin' soundin' like G without the lisp though"

Nas floated on that first verse

That album doesn't make any damn sense to me.The only way I can understand it is that Nas must have a very insular approach to making albums...because any outside voice could have told him that shyt was weak.

You're Nas in 2004, coming off a string of plat records. You ethered Hov in a battle a couple years ago. You had a club (Made You Look) and mainstream (I Can) hit on your last album. All that being said, Jay undeniably crushed the building in 2003 with The Black Album. You have to respond.

Me? I'd take a page out of Jay's book and create my own production team for the album. Get Premo. It's late 2004 so Mobb Deep's new album is out and you see Alchemist crushed the building with multiple dope tracks like Win Or Lose and Got It Twisted. Get him in the studio. Might as well try to get a Dre track, fukk it. Basically the goal should be to ensure you get the dopest beats possible.

Instead he collected a bunch of washed up producers and rapped over Atomic Dog. :why:

:snoop: who thought that was a good idea fam. It just doesn't make sense...

I thought Street's Disciple was dope, in my head got it as a 4 mic album, some really great songs, but a few weaker joints and few weaker beats.

man this thread gets made once a month..we already established that this is one of nas worst projects..probably 2nd worst. it had some shining moments like war, theifs theme, just a moment, streets disciple..and a few more..but this wasnt never supposed to be a 2 disc album imo..i guess he rushed that shiit quickly just to sign with def jam.

Its a creepy ass album IMO

Feels like he was mad isolated and alienated here. Theres no real concept to it, but its oddly cohesive and united by it being under-produced and low-key in every way imaginable. No idea what Nas was trying to accomplish or put forward here. It has some raw records and wouldve been a solid single disc album, but I never really "understood" this release when you sandwich it between God's Son and Hip Hop Is Dead. I guess it was his last album for Columbia and no one gave a shyt
