Nas Album: “Stillmatic [Expanded]”

As an fyi, the bonus cd only has one full track, the first one, "No Idea's Original". The other four tracks, 2 through 5, are just snippets of tracks that will be on his next release, "The Lost Tapes". Furthermore, on disc 1, the track "Braveheart Party", which was on the original release, was removed. I only gave this three stars because I have the original version, and this is a bit expensive for a release that doesn't add much new material. But if you never bought "Stillmatic" at all, then this is a good pickup.

This is the re-released 2002 version of Stillmatic and all of the songs on here are classic material, but it's only so because Nas took off the only bad song on the original Stillmatic, "Braveheart Party". And the bonus disc contains good songs as well. So suuuurrre, everyone can call this a classic now. It's not fair. Though this version of the album still warrants five stars, Stillmatic wasn't originally like this. Nas re-released this album to make everyone happy. Nas, you're not fooling anyone. At least when Jay-Z has a weak track on his albums, he stands behind his wack material.

Nas is the greatest mc to walk new york besides big jay and x in our time and this is his best work and i cant wait until he drops his next lp.
