This double album is considered by many (myself included) as one of the weaker points in Nas' extensive catalogue. However, because it is Nas, there are still some very strong records. "These Are Our Heroes" and "Virgo" featuring Doug E. Fresh and Ludacris are great. "Thief's Theme" is also a standout and wise choice for a single. The cons unfortunately outweigh the pros on this album though as a lot of the production comes across and mediocre. And just like every double rap album of all original material not called Life After Death, the set could easily be cut in half. Personally, I prefer quality over quantity.
