Nas being dead in the water critically before Takeover

I’m youger than a few a people so I need people to explain this to me. Specifically from NYC.

Nastradamus was certified platinum the year it dropped and had chart success. A few magazines have it an A or and 4/5 stars but was mixed.


I am sold 470,000 first week. Everyone was doing that back then either and received GREAT reviews and was a chart success and was platinum that year.

It was written and illmatic were before the two.

How was he critically dead in the water before takeover?
