Wow, excellent review man. I haven't listened to all of this album, the only track I've heard is "Big Girl", and dare I say it, I quite enjoy it. I might have to listen to this whole album since everyone hates it and never mentions "Big Girl" as a good track. If a track like that is considered to be one of the bad ones, I would be interested in listening to the good ones.

With such a successful style that pushed Illmatic into the realm of classic status, continuing in a similar vein throughout his career would've been a sure bet; sadly Nas chose to move in different directions, and as a result, an argument could be made that he's yet to come anywhere close to hitting the milestone of Illmatic.


I'm pretty sure you'd want to insert a comma after "sadly," but I'm not entirely sure. And I'd like it more if this was two sentences, because you don't do a lot of semicolons in this review (just a nitpicky thing but it struck me.)

In the sentence after that, please use another word than "sadly;" it's the second time you've used it in two relatively short sentences.

I cannot fully comprehend the street poet’s motives that drove him to make Nastradamus, but one can only imagine – money, his rivalry with Jay-Z, or implausibly enough, Y2K (which he mentions on the track “New World”) could all have served as creative motivation.


This reads awkwardly because of the emdash. I'd suggest something like (douche move but still): "I cannot fully comprehend the street poet's (note: i really love this phrase) motives for Nastradamus, but the only plausible choices seem to be money, a rivalry with Jay-Z, and Y2K.

The minimalist, pop tendencies of Nastradamus make the record just as bad as Illmatic is good.


This is so random in the context of that paragraph.


A lot of errors like those above, so I won't go through them all, but this after 87 reviews is pretty bad indeed.

I won't neg though, as there's potential.

I just won't pos'.

While I could be biased because I helped proof this review, but none of those changes needed to be made

you've taken leaps forward from your everyday reviews way back when.

'On Nastradamus, there are too many I’s and not enough eyes.'

that line's gold. reviews well-written and very clear. there's a few extra words here n there, but nothing that takes away from the review. good job, chan might even give this an A ; )

Cause I generally don't like rap, except Eminem and Dre's early days. A little of Lil Wayne, but not much else.
