I agree with everyone's comments that this was Nas's worst album. Instead of enjoying the acclaim he received from 1999's I Am album, he waited only a few months to release Nastradamus that year. Simply put, this album is so bad that it's not even worth reviewing, but I'll give my opinion anyway. Most of the songs aren't bad because of totally weak material, but because the production is weak and Nas just doesn't bring his clever wit and wise words like he used to, even on his bad days. Case in point: DJ Premier's "Come Get Me" sounds like every other song this DJ produced, with the chorus full of scratches and a pounding uptempo beat while Nas tries to find his voice. Havoc's "Shoot 'Em Up" sounds like Nas jacked a Christmas carol. And whoever produced "Big Girl" should have been dismissed because Nas is speed-rapping over a ballad. That's the worst track on the album--I take that back, "You Owe Me" featuring Ginuwine is the worst. This album gets two stars, one for "New World" with its Y2K scare message (but I don't like that Toto sample they used), and another for "Project Windows", which was supposed to be on I Am in a different format. The rest of the songs don't even need to be mentioned, and in fact I'm sick of even thinking about this album. I'd even listen to It Was Written or The Firm album instead of this. Buy this only to complete your Nas collection.
