This is a great fall/winter album for me.....I played it heavy back in November 2002, some of the tracks had a haunted quality 'Last Real nikka Alive', 'Mastermind'....I remember when it leaked, right before or after 'Blueprint 2', at the time I didn't like 'Made U Look' that much...but the album was dope. 13 some odd years later, it shows it's age in a few spots....the Eminem beat, while I liked his production back then, for it's 'dark' qualities, it's aged badly. 'Warrior Song' had great lyrics, poor production, 'Heaven', I never liked the Nas fast flow. 'Hey Nas' is a forgotten little dope track, that I always loved. 'Dance' was my shyt too. It's about time to throw this back on my phone.
Who remember the bonus cd? 'p*ssy Kills' and 'Thug Mirror'.....The latter being a perfect Nas track.
