I Am is cool...slightly above average LP...the highs are crazy but the lows are some of the worst music Nas has created...

Disagree Hip Hop is dead, SD and Nastradamus had worst lows.

I wish Dr. Knockboot was labeled “ Dr. Knockboot interlude”. People take that track too serious. It was a fun interlude type track about important issues that are relevant today (Me.Too, surviving Kelly).

I Am is definitely one of those late 90s/early 00s albums that would be undeniably great if not for 4-5 tracks. And just like those albums it's the ladies tracks that take the L. I would have kept You Won't See Me Tonight..that shyt would have been a hit if it was pushed and given a video. I remember Timbo saying him and Missy were stunned they didn't release it as a single. I'd also keeping Kissing, which is corny but the beat is kinda cool, the verses are good and it later ties into Undying Love.

Everything else? Big Things, Dr Knockboot, I Want To Talk To You, Money Is My bytch...straight to the bushes. Give me a time machine and I get rid of those tracks and try to get another Premo track, and another Hitmen track from Diddy (assuming they wouldn't let me use any of the leaked tracks from the double LP).
The hood loved Money Is My bytch. That’s what’s so crazy about that. Lol

King's Not Dead - It's Still Nas Vs. The World | Highsnobiety

it's not very often Highsnobiety interview a legend like Nas

“All things happen for a reason. I think this is a time right now where we gotta reflect, and we gotta think. The world’s been quieted down and stopped, so this is the time to really rethink your life. We have a lot of fights up ahead. Prepare.”

I think undying love is top 5 Nas song in terms of imagery and story telling. Beat is amazing and haunting also. When he talks about the van wyck and giving horse dap before he fukks out the back - I felt that

One hand on her ass and she was rubbin his dikk:mjgrin:

Exactly... I always looked at Dr. Knockboot as a fun interlude.
