Why do people act like Nastradamus was horrible? It's very underrated

[Big Mel]

I know it went plat
I'm talking about he could've done it with without the commercial singles.
And how many actual bad songs are there

Even the preemo beat is bland. It's an awful album.

 

[Big Mel]

Funny thing is, you owe me is the most jammin cut on that frisbee.

 

[Doin2Much Williams]

What kind of a pranktel is this?



Big Girl was a classic.




Don't haight.

Yeah it definitely felt rushed. Too soon after I AM and the inclusion of the crossover tracks didn't give it that NaS feel. Also being compared to his other works,it was under par. I definitely some gems on there,they just rushed and mishandled the project.

Besides "You Owe Me" which "crossover tracks" do you speak of?

Big girl and Nastradamus. Even thought the latter wasn't that bad but the hook was cringe worthy.

The song "Nastradamus" did have a bad hook (a problem with the album in general, as I pointed out), but the beat is the same one used for a classic EPMD song ("Let The Funk Flow"). I don't think it was a shameless crossover attempt.

Its average

Everyone knew it was him messing up an EPMD classic. His piss poor hook game is on full blast in that disaster.

It did go plat, doofy head.


It's a bad album. Worse than I am, which was also bad.

FUKKOUTTAHERE!!!!

I Am was better than EVERY album released this year!!!

Intro (love the shyt talking )
NYSOM2
Life we Chose
Favor for a Favor
Still We Will Survive
Hate Me Now
Nas Is Like
Undying Love

If a niqqa produced an album with this many great-classic songs this year niqqas would be passing out!

 

[tybo]

The reason many people hate on Nastradamus is that terrible ass lead single!

 

[The War Report]

You wanna ball till you fall I can help you with that
You want beef I could let a slug melt in your hat

The others you listed are dope.

because at the time it was a big letdown. the hype for the I Am double album was at an all time high, the retail I Am album had it's great moments but also lows. Nastradamus was rushed because of the leak and it shows.
