You know Nastradamus is bad when it has a Timbaland beat on it that even I can't fuck with!

lol, yeah, the vibe I get from this album is definitely "lazy as shit"
I had forgot this was the album with You Owe Me and YOU'RE A BIG GIRL NOOWWWWWW
meh, I dug Project Window (though I think it's a slightly different beat from the I Am bootleg I remember hearing) and Come Get Me, but that's about it.

Great album, probably the only thing wyclef has done that I actually loved.

Last time I heard it a few years back it made me go on a Wyclef spree, checking out everything he's released. I..... wasn't too impressed.
This album is like a continuation to The Score in the way the ODB album is like a continuation to 36 Chambers and in that sense it works very well.
I remember Chris Rock regarding it highly also.

This album is Wyclef getting the last bit of Fugee magic out of him.

I never understood the hood's affection with Gucci goggles..
The closest thing I could come up with is that "they see money, with goggles that cost money."

wtf, is this a tupac verse on Thugz Mansion?
Love that verse.
In retrospect im enjoying I Am a lot more than i initially did. Its just like a half done effort, but ya, some of my favorite joints are on this. I probably fuck with it on the same level as something like Blueprint 2 or American Gangster, a solid effort with some obvious ehhhhh shit.
It's also the album that originated MySpace beats on commercial releases.
And then we got this
this is a classic, was a tune back in the day. especially when i was 10.

Buddy f/ Pharrell - As Far As They Know
You might remember Buddy from Awesome Awesome which is a banger.
This joint is iiiiiiight.
haha I've always liked Chris Rock's list. Anybody have a link to that 2Pac tape at number 3?

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
Stillmatic was GREAT
From the opening intro to Every Ghetto to that pidgin taking a shit on the cover. Still amazed Hangmen was able to produce the intro. They did some shitty beats on Benzino's album.
Blueprint was meh. I bought both so I'm not playing favorites.

Ah, Stillmatic v Blueprint. I argued this shit many a day as a young ninja. Now I'm a grown ass man so let's go through this shit line by line
Production: I don't see how anyone can deny Blueprint wins this. Kanye and Just Blaze before their prime can't be fucked with. I don't like the Timbo beat. Bink has some dope beats here too.
Stillmatic has some dope producers (Premo, Large Pro, LES) but a lot of the beats sound dated. Rewind is a dope song but that beat didn't age too well. Ether's beat sounds mixtape quality, especially when compared to Takeover.
Lyrics: Nas wins by a mile. More depth, better imagery...you know, the typical shit that makes Nas a better rapper than the camel
Consistency: Let's consider the top tier songs on each album
Blueprint: The Ruler's Back, Takeover, U Don't Know, Heart Of The City, Never Change, Song Cry, Renegade, Breath Easy
Stillmatic: Ether, Got Urself A Gun, You're Da Man, Rewind, One Mic, 2nd Childhood, The Flyest, What Goes Around
When I was a young ninja I argued Stillmatic had better classic songs in part because of the concepts, whereas most of Blueprint is generic stuff (I'm rich, I love you bitch, streets is rough yo, etc). Today...eh. I definitely believe One Mic, 2nd Childhood, and What Goes Around shit on everything on Blueprint but I'd say overall Blueprint's best songs are better.
Verdict: ....Imma have to go with Blueprint brehs. It's close but Blueprint just has better songs overall

She got Graves Disease back in like 08 so has been laying low for a minute.
She's still ill as far as I know, but it's no longer life threatening.
Her last album was seven years ago and things haven't even moved on that much.....
It's kinda not close though. Blueprint really shits on Stillmatic
I mean, it doesn't really matter that Nas' lyrics and concepts are better because Jay's songs are just eons better. That's always been the difference between Jay and Nas. 8 or 9 of the 13 songs are just classic in every sense of the word.
You can say that for Stillmatic about at most 3? (Ether for impact reasons, Gun and One Mic). Shit, One Mic is the only song that's even on the Blueprint's level IMO.
No shame for Stillmatic though, it's just not in the same class.

Yup. Nas could have a legendary discography if he picked better beats for the majority of his albums.
Edit: Just bought this
Hopefully it is good, been hearing pretty good things.

Speaking of old albums, does Anyone else like Nelly's Country Grammar or Sweat/Suit albums?
