The World's Greatest MC......N-A-S Nas
, December 11, 2002Reviewer: escos4real - See all escos4real's reviews2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this God's Son (Bonus CD) review helpful Nas is the greatest MC there is. I cant believe people even try to compare him with Gay-Z. My fault, Jay-Z, that no mustache havin taebohoe. Jay-Z fans. Have you ever seen Jay-Z rap tellin a story as good as Nas. How about in reverse like he did on rewind(Stillmatic). Jay-Z obsesses over Nas. Thats why, on his new wack album, "Blueprint 2: the gift and the curse" he tried to bust on Nas on a few lines. ["is it ochy wally wally or is it one mic", "when the grass is cut, the snakes will show, I gotta thank my little homie Nas for that though", "You street dreamin', all yall niggaz livin off of me. I gave you life when they was forgettin you MC'd] Those is the wackest lines I have ever heard. God's Son aka. Nas aka. Nasty Nas aka. Nas Escobar is the greatest alive. His new album , "God's Son" is going to tear Blueprint 2 apart. The only thing I like about the Blueprint 2 is that it features Beyonce Knowles. That's my baby. Um. Thats my wife. Forget J.Lo. Beyonce look good. I luv you baby. You should have won over J.Lo on the most sexiest performer award, cuz you is FINE!!!!!

Pro Reviews: God's Son (Bonus CD)
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews God's Son is an emotional album, imbued with recent experiences in Nas' personal life, particularly his recent bout with Jay-Z and the unfortunate death of his mother, Ann Jones. These experiences had challenged the self-reappointed King of New York, attacking both his street status and his heart, and he in turn looked within, embracing both his craft and his spirit. Brazenly declaring himself God's Son, in tribute partly to his mother's legacy as well as his own increasingly Jesus-like one, Nas emerged from his experiences wiser, stronger, and holier than ever, less engaged by the material world than the inner one, less interested in flossing than teaching, and less obsessed with his riches than his soul. And his soul he bares nakedly; profusely personal, Nas' lyrical divulgence is sometimes even startling: "Last Real Nigga Alive" namedrops Biggie, Jay-Z, Wu-Tang Clan, and other '90s-era rappers; "Hey Nas" reflects on recent failed relationships with women; "Dance" is an ode to his mother; and "Heaven" questions spirituality. As usual, there's a street-rallying leadoff single here, "Made You Look," that announces Nas' periodic return with fury and bombast. Salaam Remi produces the Marley Marl-fashioned track and lays down similarly inventive beats on four others. He's joined by many of the other producers who had worked on Stillmatic a year earlier: Chucky Thompson, Ron Browz, and the Alchemist, all of whom deliver harsh tracks without pop gimmickry. In addition, God's Son includes three noteworthy collaborations: Nas and 2Pac trade gentle verses on "Thugz Mansion," Alicia Keys contributes the production and hook to "Warrior Song," and Eminem produces "The Cross." Throughout it all, God's Son plays like an album. The playing time is reasonable, clocking under an hour, the song selection is diverse, no two tracks resembling one another, and the themes are interwoven, giving the album a narrative sense. God's Son isn't quite the masterpiece is could be -- mostly because Nas is so self-involved, sometimes seemingly intoxicated by his kingliness -- but it's surely one of the most remarkable albums of the Queensbridge rapper's highlight-filled career, just a notch or so below Illmatic and Stillmatic. [Columbia Records added a three-track bonus disc to early pressings of God's Son. Though the tracks are brief and undeveloped, they're nonetheless impressive: the Alchemist-produced "Thugz Mirror (Freestyle)," the Chucky Thompson-produced "Pussy Killz," and the Swizz Beatz-produced "The G.O.D." There is also multimedia content.] - Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide |

The album starts with "Get Down" and shows that Nas' flow is just as sick as ever! Over a funked out beat, he tells a story of street crimes and his bravado responses. "Last Real N*gga Alive" is Nas' account of a decade of beef (from Big 2 Puff 2 WU 2 Jigga)while ending with a subtle but firm chastisement of Jigga for not understanding the game. From "Heaven" to "Dance" Nas shows that his thoughts have transended from the 'norm' to a greater appreciation of life, our surroundings, and that the time we have with our loved ones - specifically his Mother.
This is truly the most mature album Nas has offered the masses. I think it will take a level of maturity to truly appreciate the messages that are written within poetic verses. If you ain't there yet, I suggest you put the album up on the shelf and pull it out like a good book - timeless...
