It's all but unanimous that this is Nas' weakest album. I don't dispute that, but there are still a few good records on here. Considering Nas is one of the best lyricists ever, that should come as no surprise. The streak of Nas/DJ Premier bangers continue with "Come Get Me," Life We Chose" is a great song and "Project Windows" with Ron Isley is a solid collaboration. I also like the album artwork and how it correlates with Nas' three previous releases: from child (Illmatic) to adult (It Was Written) to legend (I Am) to prophet (Nastradamus). And he wasn't wrong as a prophet. In this millennium, it really is a "New World."
