I would drop 7, 8, 9 and 10. (All dope tracks)

I would add "where are they now" (Sample should've been flipped better)

1. Big Girl

2. Big Things

3. Zone Out

4. Remember The Times (too much information, like really)

5. Who Killed It

6. Where Are They Now (of all the things you could do with the "Get Involved" sampled, this is it and Nas is just listing unsung rappers. Song goes nowhere)

7. Nas's Angels (from the Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle soundtrack. Uninspired Neptunes beat and some cringe worthy lines from Nas)

8. Jarreau of Rap

9. Hip Hop Is Dead (beat is kind of dope, but a rehash of "Thief's Theme". I get he was parodying "everything sounds the same" in Hip Hop. Dope idea, but not effective. Didn't help he performed this live and Mario comments that Nas was wearing a dope hate. The host was like "Nas, THE Nas just finished performing and all you can say is 'dope hat'. Song doesn't go anywhere either)

10. Cops Shot The Kid (not necessarily bad, but the sample played throughout is annoying)

1.Big Girl
2 Who Killed it
3 where are they now
4 Nas Angels
5 Braveheart Party
6 Making of the perfect bytch
7 Hip Hop is Dead
8 getting married
9 no one else in the room
10 You can’t Kill Me

Had no idea people disliked Where Are They Now :ohhh:

Zone Out? Really? That was fire. Are you a Dipset fan or something?

Not a Dipset fan. I just never liked that song. To me, it remains the worst track Salaam has given him. That whole HIV lone was the best part of that song.
To each his own. Wiz verse on there was the only questionable thing on it, and that wasn't that bad. Nas killed it, and I like the beat.

Why does everyone hate Big Things. I don't know why but that track was always kind of catchy to me.
Beat sounds great in car systems

Also the beat kinda aged decently because of the rolling drums and uptempo high hats that would be common place years later in the mid 2000s And in the modern era.

American Way lyrics are politically relevant plus a Parliament Fumkadelic sample.
Im convinced you young nikkas hate black music pioneers and legends. Kind of disgusting imo.

Jarreau of Rap is dope as hell, I hated it off the snippet but has it on repeat when I heard the entire thing.

Nas is the GOAT but I hated:

Bridging the Gap
World's An Addiction (over dramatic singing and beat)
Zone Out
Big Girl
Majority of Nastradamus, couldn't even name the songs cuz I barely listened to that album
Who killed It

I agree that Jarreau of rap is one catchy tune. I hated it too but shyt came on random while driving and shyt was sounding kind of smooth. Been playing it ever since.
