micmerdah said: "[SIZE=2][CENTER]One of the most anticipated albums of the time of its release in 2001. This album like Jay-Z's the Blueprint was considered a battle album and was there most critically acclaimed albums since their debuts, Reasonable Doubt for Jay and Illmatic for Nas. Back from a dismal Nastrudamus, Nas goes back to his lyrical genius on Stillmatic. If you need proof just look at track 2 "Ether" the diss to Jay-Z which is a classic diss record some of the lyrics are very personal and attack Jay-Z's credibility
"[I]First, Biggie's ya man, then you got the nerve to say that you better than Big
Dick suckin lips, whyn't you let the late, great veteran live.......You Tae-bo hoe, tryna' work it out, you tryna' get brolic?
Ask me if I'm tryna' kick knowledge
Nah, I'm tryna' kick the shit you need to learn though
That ether, that shit that make your soul burn slow
Is he Dame Diddy, Dame Daddy or Dame Dummy?
Oh, I get it, you Biggie and he's Puffy"[/I]
His lyrical intellect his truly shown on this album with the track "Rewind" which portrays a story played in reverse:
[I]The bullet goes back in the gun
The bullet hole's closin this chest of a nigga
Now he back to square one
Screamin, "Shoot don't please" (really saying Please don't shoot)
I put my fifth back on my hip
It's like a VCR rewindin a hit
He put his hands back on his bitch
My caravan doors open up
I jumped back in the van and closed it shut[/I]
Jay-Z is not the only one being attacked on Stillmatic, Nas takes some jabs at Mobb Deep on the KRS-One concept taken "Destroy and Rebuild":
[I]For what nigga you're butt and it got back to me
Asking a Braveheart to get back your jewelry
You aint from my hood, don't even rep Q.B.
Nature moved to Marcy
Man dick riding Nature, nothing else to say
Man Nature moved to Marcy
Back with ass niggaz in fear[/I]
Then you have One Mic which some regard as his best track in his catalog. His bars on here are fiery and provocative:
[I]Jesus died at age 33, there's thirty-three shots
from twin glocks there's sixteen apiece, that's thirty-two
Which means, one of my guns was holdin 17
Twenty-seven hit your crew, six went into you[/I]
In "You're Da Man" Nas claims 'Fame went to they head, so now it's "Fuck Nas"' Stillmatic is the "Fuck You" back.
Total Score 10/10[/CENTER][/SIZE]"
