So underrated!



My favorite Nas album. I can listen to this over and over and not get tired of it.



The Message and Take It In Blood are two of his best for sure.

Whenever i see reviews of It Was Written, even ones written as well as this, i cannot help feeling that it is more criticised than it should be. This album seems to be grossly underrated, just because it doesnt live up to the giddy heights of Illmatic. If this was recored before Illmatic, or if it was made by a completely different artist, i'm sure it wouldn't receive half as much scrutiny as it does now. That said- this album isnt flawless, but if you ask me, it is very close to it. Suspect and Affirmative Action are my favourites.

This record isn't far from being on the same level as Illmatic, and I definitely prefer it to the Only Built 4 Cuban Linx records.

She do be lookin weaker, now her teeth are foul

Speakin loud, peep her style, in and out of every reefer cloud

Fat ass dissolvin, like cotton candy in a mouth that's starvin

Rock the same gear daily, like a soldier in my squadron
