Nastradamus Had Some Piff

[I Really Mean It]

I know it’s regarded as one of his worst, but there’re definitely some gems among the rubble.

[BulletProof]

Released by another rapper and it wouldn't get the hate it gets.

No album can be bad that has a song like Project Windows on it and that's one fukking song.

"You Owe Me" was always dope to me. Certain type of dudes act like anything about loving a girl or partying is automatically corny, lol, I don't subscribe to that and never did. Unfortunately though, the 5 joints already posted and this joint are the only shyts on the whole album I like and revisit. This rest is ehh at best, imo.

Project Windows, Last Words and Come Get Me alone makes this album above average. It’s criminally unfairly hated on!

 

[L. Deezy]

When it was released, they were comparing it to his first 3 albums... somehow its just been repeated over and over thats his worst album when thats total bullshytt. I listen to this album a ton to this day. shyt bang

Tell you how bullshyt that opinion is.. a young, white album reviewer who said he started listening to Nas on Hip hop is dead ranked his albums said its often stated that Nastradamus is his worst album and ranked it last just because...smh

if that aint the most get wit shyt Ive ever heard..smh

 

[BlackDiBiase]

facts its his own nas fanboys that were shytting on it, scared of "you owe me" that LP had bangers from start to end.

No matter how we slice the pie, Nastradamus will ALWAYS be near the bottom of Nas's catalog. Which Nas albums are we really below Nastradamus? Nasir? Street's Disciple? Hip Hop Is Dead? I personally feel all three are better than Nastradamus. Not necessarily a bad thing. In 1999, Nas had four albums. Nastradamus was definitely going down as his worst. He's released music since that album that is far more focused, consistent, and creative through and through and I actually like "You Owe Me".

 

[Tres Leches]

idolize nas in the flesh dont wait til im gone to say i was the best

 

[Metal Face]

every year ya'll force this

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

every year ya'll force this

Nothing to force

Even the single was hard
I still bang in the whip with the top down

 

[Air Nikes N Hats]

I still bump Family regularly..........I was thinking about that track while reading the DMX/Grease album thread. Family is one of the better Grease productions created.

Back to the topic, It was a solid album and didnt deserve the hate it got. I think we also gotta consider what was happening in music and around the world during that time. Sometimes those things do influence the way we view an album. To me Streets Disciple is his weakest album....and thats simply because of all the filler. Wittle that album down to 1 CD and I might feel differently about it.

Project Windows, Life we Chose, Family, Last Words, Come and Get Me like the best tracks for me

 

[Air Nikes N Hats]

The original Project Windows......I like the subtle differences better than the album cut.....both are still great though.

 

[Piff Huxtable]

album went downhill after Life We Chose
