Contains the bonus track "Every Ghetto," which follows "What Goes Around."
In 1994, Nas dropped his debut, ILLMATIC. More than just a classic, it's perhaps the definitive East Coast street hip-hop record, bereft of cliché, rife with rich, inventive rhymes. His early coronation proved both blessing and curse, as his three follow-ups, while shining next to most platinum peers, never reached the ingenious heights of his introduction. Just by the title, STILLMATIC makes obvious its yearning to recapture that feel, a ridiculously tall order if not an impossible one, but it comes dangerously close, which merely makes it one of the top albums of its year.
At times it feels as if half of STILLMATIC consists of shots at Jay-Z, ex-cohort Prodigy, and others, at times thinly veiled, other times not veiled at all (the opening two words of "Ether"). Out of the mouths of others, this game would be old and boring. What allows Nas transcendence is that he is not your average hater posturing to sell records, he's earnestly responding to a slander with his supreme, unwavering lyrical style. Nas has an insane arsenal of words and an acute sense of incongruity, best illustrated on "Destroy and Rebuild," where he reverses the guns of KRS-One's blistering attack on Nas's home, Queensbridge ("The Bridge Is Over"), to both glorify his beloved 'hood and deny the MCs he believes have fallen off.

STILLMATIC gets as close to the source as he's come in years..."
Q (2/02, p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Broader horizons, good production and a renewed flow of narrative detail bring a new lease to his life..."
Vibe (2/02, p.120) - 3.5 out of 5 - "...Poignant vignettes attest to Nas' still superb descriptive ability....at his best, Nas is still one of the finest..."

Two of hip hops powerhouse heavyweights both dropped albums in 2001, and both were undeniable classics. Nas' Stillmatic is genius, the production, the poetry were all top notch. You could get a sense from the Stillmatic intro that Nas was goin back to his Illmatic days as the greatest lyricist to ever write a bar. "Ether" is considered the greatest diss song of all-time next to "Hit Em Up" by 2Pac, and it shows when you listen to the explosive beat and the powerful lines that Nas distributes on Mr. Shawn Carter. Overall this is Nas' 2nd best effort in his already flawless career.
