Brehs how ridiculous was the idea that Nas fell off between I Am and Stillmatic in retrospect :why:

Son literally dropped some of the GOAT hip hop verses ever in that era















Because the criticism was coming from people who wanted entire albums from Nas that sounded like the songs you posted.

I agree, and some of us always rode for Esco on SoHH. That era was mad competitive though, radio was still powerfull and the payola was off the charts - that's when Dame and Jay flexed their muscles and started the "Jay is King of NY/GOAT" campaigns which led to all the NY beefs. Nas dropped classic verses but Nastradamus was considered a letdown and he was a nowshow on radio.

He shut them all up soon enough though.
