I was kind of worried Ja Rule might be on it or something. I like him and all but I'm glad he's not here. It's pretty good, actually. Not much of it sounds like 'Made You Look.' But he keeps the same sort of flow or whatever. He's calmed down since
Stillmatic. Because that was really strained and terrible. But he sounds right again. A return to form, I guess. I don't like saying that, but it's kind of true. And the beats are all pretty standard and mid-tempo. But that's good.
It kind of drags in the middle, I guess. With the Tupac song and some pretty garbage filler. The Tupac song isn't so bad, I guess. But it comes back better at the end. With an Alicia Keys song. And a catchy song with a flute. And then it finishes off less strong with-- Actually, it finishes off right. It just got to a good part in the song. He finishes it off right.
I guess it's, like, a standard sort of thing but Nas makes it right. It's a pretty good Nas CD. That's something I can say for sure. It could have been better. Take out the filler and get some better producers, maybe. But, it's a pretty good Nas CD. It could have been better.

I've kind of turned against the CD. I realized it wasn't so good that he had calmed down so much. He needed to calm down less but not as much as he did.

But, the important thing is, I kind of liked that website. I got the idea that I'm going to make a website where I review stuff like Tomas does. I'll start it tomorrow night, I think.

I didn't really expect much from this, but I listened to some clips online and it actually sounded really good, the beats seem hot. I'll probably get this, safe is better than whack.
