I agree with Rukas. I wish Nas would just rap... not try to change the world. Whenever he tries to be different, or he tries to be all militant and controversial and shit (Last 3 albums including the new one) he's wack. Leave that shit for other dudes.
To Nas: Get some good beats from Just Blaze, Toomp, Kanye, No ID, Hitmen, Cool&Dre, 9th.. Let them do all the song-writing (BEATS, HOOKS), fuck Salaam Remi off, and you just concentrate on rapping, Nigga! Stop trying to change the world.
