Bought it in Target around fall 1999, for "You Owe Me", which contrary to how it remembered, was a popular track, at least in 8th grade. I knew it wasn't as strong as "I Am", and Nas was my favorite rapper, though I hadn't yet heard 'It Was Written", or "Illmatic". "Life We Chose", "Project Windows", "Come Get Me", "Last Words", "Shoot Em Up", "Family", all got a lot of play from me, in 99, and to this day.

WOW even his worst album had a few gems?

try being a Blu stan breh...his worst albums have some of the greatest songs ever recorded on em.

Blu >>> nas
horrible poster. I'm glad blu has 1 die hard stan tho... the nikka fell off a cliff with those no mix projects. he is pure talent wasted.

Nas at his worst still better than blu

Nastradamus threads should always come with a disclaimer that it was a throwaway album recorded in haste because the real I AM double disc got bootlegged.

We lost out on a classic and got a weed plate in its place. Who's to blame? Nas or Leakers?

His original vision would have gave him an undoubted classic but was compromised and that double disc is now the stuff of legends :mjcry:

I never took this album in even when it dropped I knew what time it was and kept moving to the next one.. :yeshrug:
