Im still soaking this cd in. It's not Nas' best but it's not weak.
The songs I think are dope are: The First Song(forgot the name), Carry on Tradition, Black Republican, The one with the Unforgettable sample-track #14, The song with Game, the acappella verse at the end. Oh yah i forgot about still dreaming that song is sick i was listening to that song this morning. it's a good morning song for some reason that beat kanye did is hot. The one with snoop is hot too i just forgot about it. The guy below reminded me of some songs i forgot.
Some songs are a little boring to me. I can't get into the Hip Hop is Dead song just not feeling the beat, Not Going Back is just too boring for me.
So far I give the album like 6.5 out of 10 maybe 7 out of 10.
