- Black girl lost pt 2
Well, the beat was cool, the subject matter aight, but the hook was horendous, like really ? it sounded like the ratchet anthem hook. It ruined the all song, thank god it it didn't end up on LIG
- Nastradamus
The song wasn't that bad but how can you go from Nas is like and Hate me now to this. The hook was kinda cheesy, the beat was a little bit corny and the clip was really cheap. Nas wasn't on his element on this. Even live the song don't come off well
- You owe me
One of Nastradamus worst single and Nas' career worst single period. That song was the epitome of why people started to think Nas fell off. Timbaland gave him a futuristic annoying beat. That song was a failed attempt to do a clubby track but this is not Nas lane at all. That said, Ginuwine was cool on the hook, Nas did great not only on the flow but on the lyrics as well, even on light joints he still dropping jewels, and the clip was tight
- Money is my bytch
This is a personnal choice, I never liked the cuban like beat and the hook was one of Nas' worst. He usually good when it comes to personnificate object (coke, gun...) but it didn't work on that song. I always skip it
- I want to talk to you
The song is not bad, even cool, but I thought the concept was kinda phony, like you want to talk to the president, the cia, to tell them what ? like Nas was somme kind of Castro or Guevara. I don't mind Nas' political songs, I even like them, but this is a case of a rebel type of song with no purpose and no cleverness or point to it.
Ironically he did meet with retired president Clinton, but judging by the photo, nothing etheresque were said
- Big girl
Well, we all now Nas is not the type of mc comfortable with double time flow. He tried on Big things, didn't come of well but at least I liked the song. Here not only the song with worthless in term of story concept purpose but there was an ambiguity on who the song was adress. Is he really approve relations with barely 18 teens ? That was kinda creepy. And music wise the sample and chorus were a too obvious jacking compare to the original song. Again, how can the man who wrote The world is yours could wrote this
- UBR
Perfect example of good idea, poor execution. The beat was too cheap, pretty normal if you consider Nas produced the song (glad he disn't stick behind the boards, even if One mic was flames). And it spark a feud with Rakim, but we cannot blame him for this one. And where's the Krs One version ?
- Y'all my nikkas
I don't like this song, not a bad song and I know many will disagree, but for some reason I find the song useless. The chorus particularly was cheesy. On untitled I don't listen to this song as well as Were not alone whose chorus is too long
- Braveheart party
This is the rock on the stillmatic shoe. The worst track of the album. Beat was corny, so when you combime Swizz with Bravehearts verses you got this. Glad Mary (who was cool on the hook anyway) insist for this song to be removed from the stillmatic post versions due to the Nas/Jay feud
- Hip Hop is dead
One of Nas worst single. Well the song wasn't bad to be honest, but first how retarded is it to come for your first single with the same sample as your previous album first single. Not only it was disrepectuf to Salaam Remi, producer of Thief's theme, but for the fans it stopped us for having a feeling of new for the first single. The chorus was average, at first I tought the will I am version was better but Thief's theme was grimier and better and the clip was better. Because Hip hop is dead is one of Nas worst clip, generic at best. With that kind of beat we could pull of a clip a la Eminem a funny one for change on a haunted castle for example but he kept it simple, too simple, but I guess that's not Nas.
Some would have think of putting Who killed it first, but I actually like the song, weird at first but the song has a deep meanig to it and a great atmosphere
