I Am… definitely has its ups and downs, but I think it's a pretty solid album overall. "N.Y. State of Mind" is a certified classic, and so coming back to the song was a risk, but Premier and Nas crafted a worthy sequel. And "Nas is Like," is one of the best songs that Mr. Jones and Mr. Martin have ever done together. "Favor for a "Favor", the record with Scarface, is excellent and "We Will Survive" pays homage to Tupac and Biggie. The faults of this project are that it's inconsistent and the album is a few songs too long. And "Hate Me Now" with Puffy was a great commercial single, but I think "You Won't See Me Tonight" with Aaliyah would have been a better choice.
