Stillmatic [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Nas's 1994 debut, Illmatic, is hands down one of the greatest rap LPs of all time. Open to debate is why he ditched his lyrical genius and raw, gully beats to go pop on his next three albums. On his fifth solo LP, Nas returns to his grimy, hardcore roots. On "Ether," Nas disses Jay-Z mercilessly (a response to Jay-Z's anti-Nas stabs on "Takeover" from The Blueprint). Nas then proceeds to dis Prodigy of Mobb Deep and a whole slew of other Queensbridge-based MCs on "Destroy and Rebuild." When he's not busy tearing into fellow New York-based MCs, Nas pulls a politico routine on "My Country," questioning the blind patriotism of many African Americans, flips rhymes with former Firm compadre AZ on "The Flyest," and pays homage to Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G on "Got Ur Self a...." However, the albums finest artistic moment comes on "Rewind," where Nas crafts a sexploit and murder-filled 'hood narrative in which the story and wordplay are recited in reverse (think Tarantino's Pulp Fiction on celluloid). With beats supplied by DJ Premier, Large Professor, and Swizz Beatz, Nas has arguably reclaimed his throne as the MC king of New York. --Dalton Higgins

5 out of 5 stars Stillclassic.......2007-01-24

I remember when Nastradamus first came out. I was stunned. I didnt think that Nas could make such a suspect album back then. And please dont mention that godawful Qb's finest comp! Coming from those low points in his career and a string of shots thrown at him by Hova, Nas comes back with his most stellar album in 2001: Stillmatic. Standout Tracks: STILLMATIC, ETHER(Nas disses the s*** out of Jay-z and Rocafella. One of the best diss records ever), SMOKIN, YOU'RE DA MAN, REWIND(creative story in where everything goes backwards), ONE MIC(I loved his rhyme scheme on this song!), 2ND CHILDHOOD, DESTROY & REBUILD(Nature, Prodigy and Cormega diss), MY COUNTRY, RULE(yes I like this record even with its corny beat), WHAT GOES AROUND(deep) Bonus tracks: EVERY GHETTO, NO IDE'S ORIGINAL(sound a lot different than the Lost Tapes version) and EVERYBODY'S CRAZY.
Note: The last two songs were Circuit City exclusives. Filler: Got Ur Self A Gun(I never felt this track) and Braveheart Party(studio trash can amterial). Bottom Line: Nas's Stillmatic is easily one of the best albums in 2001. Nas's rhymes were on point(minus those two tracks in the filler section), the production was spectacular and he tore Jay-z and crew a new one! Im glad they buried the hatchet and got together to make a superb track(Black Republican on Nas's Hip Hop Is Dead). This album is proof that you cant say its over for Nas based of Nastradamus. This album is classic status now.

4 out of 5 stars Nas is still illmatic!.......2007-01-05

We all know by now Nas' history in rap. Since we first heard him in "Live at Barbeque" with Main Source and Akinyele. We all heard a lyrical firepower. Then came "Illmatic" his debut album at only 19 years old where he puts himself next to many of great MC's that were on the top at that time. A kid coming out of Queensbridge, New York had just delivered a Hip Hop classic with his debut album. Maybe at that time Nas opened up Queensbridge for all of us to see that obviously by that time he wasn't the only one rappin' out of Queensbridge since Marley Marl and MC Shan. For example Mobb Deep (They great second album called "The Infamous"), Big Noyd and Cormega.

Since "Illmatic" we expected then a whole lot of Nas. In his second album "It was Written", another Hip-Hop classic, was seen greatly by many, but dissapointing by others. Many were expecting another Illmatic. And that expectative continued on with his other albums including "I Am" and "Nastradamus".

With this release by Nas called "Stillmatic" he puts his critics back to sleep and the wack MC's to school. Having a fired-up lyrical feud with Brooklyn based MC, Jay-Z. In this album he leaves all things settled up. On why he his the real King of New York.

Nas starts up "Stillmatic" very unexpectadly with "Stillmatic: The Intro". I call it unexpected because I never expected an introduction by Nas that way. The beat was amazing and his lyrics complemented tremendously. Then Nas decides to start up and aim his lyrical cannon to Jay-Z on "Ether". If you are a fan of Jay-Z and not a fan of Nas, then you should probably start hearing Nas instead or any other MC. Because no matter if Jay sells many records all Hip-hop fans and even Jay recognize that Nas buried him on that track and ending the feud. On the track "You're Da Man" Nas puts all haters to rest with a sampled chorus telling Nas that his "Da Man".

Nas on "One Mic" delivers a strong sentimental track that shines as one of the best of the album. Followed up by "2nd Childhood" were Nas grabs his conscious style on a excellent Primo beat. Nas then aims again fire against other Queensbridge MC's like Mega Montana a.k.a. Cormega, Prodigy of Mobb Deep and Nature (former member of "The Firm" along with Nas, AZ and Foxy Brown) and handles the chorus using BDP's "The Bridge Is Over" phrase to retaliate and state that Queensbridge is destroying weakness and jelousy and rebuild it. He makes reference to the BDP feud with MC Shan. AZ then joins Nas on "The Flyest" a strong and great gangsta rap track. Nasty Nas then returns to consciousness with "My Country" and "Rule" featuring R&B singer Amerie sampling the eighties classic "Everybody Wants to Rule the World". In "What Goes Around" produced by Salaam Remi goes around the poison and negative things living in society today.

Hip Hop fans, we can't compare "Illmatic" with any other Nas album, never. Neither with any other album in Hip-hop. "Illmatic" is one of the best Hip-hop albums of all time and that's it. Nas is one of the greatest MC's that Hip-hop has nurished. No matter if he had a couple of weak albums. In "Stillmatic" he learned of his downfalls and settles things up and for upcoming albums.

Standout Tracks:

1. Ether
2. You're Da Man
3. 2nd Childhood
4. One Mic
5. What Goes Around

4 out of 5 stars "Stillmatic" = ILL, but not "Illmatic".......2006-12-19

To be honest, the reason I bought "Stillmatic", Hip-Hop legend Nas' fifth studio album, was because R&B singer Amerie of pre-"1 Thing" fame was credited as a guest artist on the hook of the sentimental "Rule". Nonetheless, "Stillmatic" remains to be a solid Hip-Hop album that, after 5 long years since its release, easily pummels the throwaway Pop-Rap albums produced by rappers like Chingy, Dem Franchise Boyz, D4L, etc. DJ Premier, Large Professor, Ron Brownz, Chucky Thompson and a bunch of other producers provide solid production to "Stillmatic", while rapper A.Z. & aforementioned R&B songstress Amerie make guest contributions to "The Flyest" & "Rule", respectively. Thankfully, everyone involved in this project was smart enough to make sure Nas was the album's main focus - his compelling lyrics and ferocious delivery are never swallowed by over-produced, synthetic beats or an overabundant guest list, and "Stillmatic" easily benefits from it.

In true Nas fashion, "Stillmatic" is an album that is strongly dedicated to the streets. "Poison" highlights societal, racial and cultural decay; over the minimalist beat DJ Premier provides on "2nd Childhood", Nas uses his solid storytelling abilities to recount the stories of his own childhood, a struggling man and a struggling woman on verses 1, 2 and 3, respectively; Nas dismisses haters and jealousy rivals mercilessly on "Destroy And Rebuild"; and "One Mic", one of the best tracks on the album, spotlights Nas delivering more street-minded rhymes with burning passion and emotion. "Ether", Nas' infamous Jay-Z/Def Jam diss track, is utterly ruthless and merciless with Nas' scathing lyrics over a hard-hitting beat & a vocal sample that repeats "F**k Jay-Z", and is easily one of the most immediate tracks on the whole album. Other tracks that are bound to attract inquisitive minds are "Rewind", where Nas recounts killing someone after a one-night stand BACKWARDS, and the braggadocious "Got Urself A...", which uses a Gospel choir that repeats the track's title as the chorus.

If not for the deliberate self-aggrandizing on tracks like "You're Da Man" & the G-Funk track "Smokin'", we'd have another classic Hip-Hop album from Nas. This album clearly isn't as good as "Illmatic", but "Stillmatic" is well worth taking the time to listen to. 4 stars!

2 out of 5 stars For die hard Nas fans only! (2.5/5).......2006-03-27

This remix album was released at the busiest point of Nas's career, where he had been releasing so much relevant and mainstream music that a remix album was almost inevitable, especially during 2002, when almost every big rapper was putting out one of these. The remixes here are new takes on some of his most classic songs, and most of them don't really improve on them any. The only people considering buying this probably know the originals anyway, so they wouldn't buy it to hear Nas's lyrical power, and they would most likely be disappointed. Another thing that will deter many listeners is that the tracks are all edited, and the censorship is done poorly. "From Illmatic to Stillmatic: The Remixes" does well for what it is, but don't be expecting anything too much.

The only remix here that really significantly improves over the original is the "Life's a B**ch" Arsenal mix on this EP. Nas and AZ's verses are left unchanged, and instead of the toned down, slow beat on the original, there is a faster, saxophone laced beat. The "One Love" mix has a more defined bassline and vocals during the chorus, it's actually nice to hear. "It Ain't Hard to Tell" sounds very different than the original and is not worth listening to because it's not even close to as good. The "Street Dreams" remix is a little better than the original, but I didn't like the original that much anyway, and it still reflects that awkward period of Nas's career. The "Affirmative Action" remix is very unimpressive, replacing the original beat with a very tired and played-out old school piano line that we've all heard before. The "One Mic" remix isn't good either because except for the slightly sped-up drum pattern, it's virtually indistinguishable from the original.

The bottom line is that if you're a die hard Nas fan, you might find value to having these remixes in your collection, but otherwise I would not recommend it. That said, Nas is maybe the greatest hip hop lyricist ever and any music that is graced with his verses is worth listening to at least once. Newer fans should buy any one of his classic LPs before this.

2 out of 5 stars weak..........2005-11-03

these remixes dont even compare to the original. if you haven't heard the songs from the og version of illmatic yet then you better wake up, 'cuz illmatic is still one of the best hiphop albums to date.

1 out of 5 stars NOT EVEN 30 MINUTES LONG-BUT HARD HITTING BASS.......2005-07-03

OUT OF ALL THE CD I HAVE BOUGHT SINCE 2000.THIS HAS TO BE THE WORST.WITH ALL THE HIT'S NAS HAS; HE REALLY CAN ONLY MAKE 6 REMIX'S.
THERE IS ONLY AN EDITED VERSION MADE.SO YOU ARE DRIVEING DOWN THE STREET LISTENING TO THE SONGS.AND EVERY 12 SECONDS A SWEAR WORD IS BEING SCRATCHED OUT.
AT LEAST HE COULD OF MADE A REAL CLEAN ONE.SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HEAR A COVERED UP PA VERSION.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THERE IS NOT A PA VERSION MADE.
IF PEOPLE LIKE JENNIFER LOPEZ CAN MAKE A FULL REMIX CD.AND SOMEONE LIKE MARIAH CAREY CAN MAKE A 2 DISC ONE.I DON'T THINK NAS EVEN TRYED.
BUT AT LEAST THE CD HAS HARD HITTING BASS.BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SYSTEM IN YOUR CAR THAT IS EVEN WORTHLESS.{NO SYSTEM~NO BASS}
IF YOU WANT THE REAL NAS BUY HIS VIDEO COLLECTION DVD!
NOW THAT IS THE NAS WE ALL KNOW. HIS DVD IS PERFECTION.SO DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS.AND BUY HIS DVD. (SYRACUSE,NY)

5 out of 5 stars one of the best remix cds I have heard.......2005-02-06

I was casually browsing the used cd bin at my local cd store. I pick this up and see that it is Nas'remix cd. I said, hmm, I have to get this because I have only one of his cds(God's Son). So I picked it up and put it on in my car, and I heard Life is a Bitch remix, and I went "WHOA!" and started bobbing and weaving to it. I was thinking this is a great song, then I heard One Love remix, and I went, man, he is a good rapper, and they do not kill his songs with the remixes. The most pointless remix is the One Mic remix. That one sucked, I have never liked that song. It is just ok.

5 out of 5 stars Nas back to his roots.......2005-07-18

After putting out the bonafide rap classic Illmatic in '94, one would think - why on earth would Nas try to cross-over on his next 3 albums? Unfortunately, that was the case with Nas. It Was Written was great, I Am... was decent, and Nastradamus just didn't cut it. I guess all Nas needed was some motivation to get back on track, and all thanks to Jay-Z, Nas put out this 2001 rap classic, Stillmatic.

As you may already know, Jay-Z dissed Nas a lot on his album, The Blueprint, saying that Nas had an average of one hot album per ten years. Obviously, Stillmatic was meant to shut Jay-Z up. After listening to the intro of Stillmatic, you already know this album's hot 'cuz it's the only intro I've heard that's worth listening to. After the intro is "Ether", the infamous Jay-Z diss track, keeping the beef between Jay-Z and Nas alive. The first single, "Got Yourself A..." is a great song where Nas pays homage to 2Pac and Biggie, and the second single, "One Mic" shows Nas still had more heart than any other rapper in the business - it's terrific. "You're Da Man" and "Rewind", both produced by Large Professor are great tracks as well, where in "Rewind", Nas tells a story from end to beginning, truly a fine moment in the album.

But without a doubt, the finest moment in the album is "2nd Childhood." Nas can never go wrong with the type of storytelling he displays here, and it's backed by a signature DJ Premier beat. Other standout tracks include "Destroy & Rebuild" (Nas comes off sounding a bit like Slick Rick here), "The Flyest" featuring AZ, and "Rule", an epic track that sounds a lot like it could very well be If I Ruled the World Part 2.

In the end, Stillmatic is probably the closest he'll ever come to his masterpiece Illmatic, Stillmatic is extremely enjoyable and Nas fans will not be dissapointed one bit. Watch for Street's Disciple, Nas' new LP out Nov. 30. Until then, enjoy Stillmatic.

5 out of 5 stars Straight Up Classic.......2004-09-20

Let's get one thing straight here. Like alot of other reviewers have said for other Nas albums, Nas will never make another Illmatic. That is because he says that everybody wants him to make another Illmatic but he's not moving backward, always forward, so let's move forward to Stillmatic. A classic Nas record. It doesn't match up to Illmatic, but let's pretend Illmatic didn't exist. Now this seems like something you'd want to hear from Nas. It's great, however this record has only one flaw. We'll get to that later.

"Stillmatic" is the opening song. It's the intro that's the same title as the album. It's pretty good. I like the "Blood of a slave, heart of a king" line he drops a couple times. "Ether" is the well known diss to Jay-Z. This is an excellent track, and I really like the chorus. Very good diss. "Got Yourself A..." is another good track. It's not the best, but it's still a track you always listen to. "Smokin'" is the first song that I really really liked, the others before this are good, but this is great. Produced by Nas himself, you'll always be listening to this one. The next one, "You're Da Man" is also a classic track, produced by Large Professor. It has great lyrics and beat. The actual song isn't long enough, it has an added on skit that makes it longer. "Rewind" is a wonderful cut. Nas raps this story backwards, all the way to what the people in the story say. I've listened to this track many times, and I still can't understand the story. "One Mic" is one of the best songs on this album. It's a masterpiece. Nas tells us all he needs is one mic in this world. Very powerful cut as well. This one is also self-produced, and it's probably the best song on here. "2nd Childhood" is another cool cut. It's produced by DJ Premier. It's about how people that still aren't doing anything when it's time to grow up, and they're acting like it's their childhood all over again. This is more laid back too. "Destroy and Rebuild" is sorta a diss song to Cormega, and other Queensbridge rappers. He's saying that the Bridge isn't over it's just cowards that are killing it. This one's produced by Baby Paul and Mike Risko. "The Flyest" featuring AZ is another great track (all these are, actually, except for one). I really like the chorus. Not as good as "Life's A B**ch" which is a song Nas did with AZ on Illmatic, but it's awesome still.

"Braveheart Party" featuring Mary J. Blige, is the only weak track on here. Produced by Swizz Beats, this should have never made it on the album. It's a party track, and it just feels completely out of place on this album. Not very good at all.

Don't worry though, the album picks up right after that awful track. "Rule" featuring Amerie, is a pretty catchy track, and it's produced by Track Masters. It contains interpolations of the track "Everybody Wants To Rule The World". "My Country" is a song that I never really listened to that much. After I did though, I figured out that this an awesome track as well. I really like the chorus on this song. It's what drew me into the track. It's produced by Lofey. "What Goes Around" is another classic track on the CD. It's about how your actions will eventually catch up and turn on you, and "What goes around comes around, and what goes up it must come down". Those are some true words for you. The extra track, "Every Ghetto" is okay. It's not a song I listen to much, because it's the very last song on the album. It doesn't even appear on the credits inside the booklet.

So, as my final though, I'd say get this right now if you don't already. It's near flawless (Braveheart Party really messed up the album, but it took care of the slack). It's something every hip-hop fan should have in their collection. You can play it over and over again, except for the horrible Braveheart Party. It's great. 5 Stars.

This cd is a masterpeice. Songs like "Your da Man", "Rewind", "One Mic, "2nd Childhood" and "What Goes Around" cannot be touched by any mc in the game today. This is a must have cd for anybodys collection.

5 out of 5 stars Stillmatic Review.......2002-02-22

This is one of NaS' best cd's. I read a few of the reviews and they do this cd no justice. 1. Stillmatic intro is just letting you why he was Nasty NaS. 2. Ether tore Jay apart. 3. Got Ur Self.. this song is okay, I like it but there are songs much better. 4. Smokin' is not the worst song on the album, it's second best. Last verse is nice. 5. You're Da Man another great song, NaS talks about what his plans were in the biz and what it turned out to be. 6. Rewind is a great visual song where he tells a story backwards. 7. One Mic...the best song on the album, NaS gets you hype with the whisphers to screams and just does wonders with the lyrics. 8. 2nd Childhood, a DJ Premier song..great lyrics with a great beat..NaS and Premo..great combo. and talks about people who don't grow up. 9. Destroy & Rebuild..NaS is tellin about the biggest projects in America.. QB..and how he's rebuilding and trying to make it unite...I love this song despite how everyone thinks the beat is not good, I love it. 10. The Flyest, NaS and AZ...I love this song too...NaS comes strong as well as AZ. 11. Braveheart party..let's just say i'm glad this was taken off the album. 12. Rule..second least favorite..i'm just not feeling this song, but it has good meaning..and I do listen to it. 13. My Country is a good song too..telling of how USA has treated it's people. 14. What Goes Around is a great song..talks about how things come back on those that do wrong and what things POISON the mind. 15. Bonus track 1 Every Ghetto..Great song with a great beat. I don't get to hear this song much because I start the cd over every time I put it in. I have two other bonus songs on my cd, Everybody's Crazy and No Ideas Original which talks about nothings original but the outcome all depends on HOW you do it. Everybody's Crazy talks about people and there actions. This is more than a 5 star cd because even though there is 1 bad song, the others make up for it, and it's taken off the newer version. I recommend this cd for everyone. I'm a big fan of NaS since Illmatic and I think it's his second best cd. Go check it. It's worth it!

5 out of 5 stars the flyest.......2002-07-15

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.

3 out of 5 stars Details About This CD.......2002-07-06

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.

5 out of 5 stars It's not fair.......2002-07-04

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.

I am not about to waste my time writing...go and cop this before "hiphop is dead...the N" hits stores! TRUST!

5 out of 5 stars One of the year's best mixtapes.......2006-03-21

Nas on an exclusive Dirty Harry mix tape? Do you know what that means? Well if you're out there in Napoleon Dynamite land and have no clue, I'll fill you in, silly buns: The end result is that this is EASILY one of the year's top 5 mixtapes. (Off the top of my head the other ones would include Cooked Crack 3 by Juelz Santana, the God's Son Project featuring Nas & Jay Z, Rock Phenomenon by Vlad, and the entire J Love series.) Man, we've got Nas up on this CD lacing nasty freestyles over Rakim beats, Dr Dre beats, Lil'Jon beats. I mean, this right here is a downright classic. What are you waiting for? You need this in your collection!
