Nastradamus [PA] by Nas (CD, Nov-1999, Columbia (USA))

Description: AllMusic Review by Keith Farley From boy to man to king to prophet, Nas re-emerged six months after his third album with Nastradamus, a pre-millennial statement touching on the future, spirituality, and family -- issues that Nas has broached before, though never with this much devotion. It could have been an intriguing concept album, but Nastradamus is continually compromised by tracks that don't contribute to the theme. For every emotional track like "Some of Us Have Angels" or "God Love Us," there are the same old street-life anthems you'd expect to hear, like "Shoot 'Em Up," "Come Get Me," or "You Owe Me." They sound OK (thanks to production from L.E.S., DJ Premier, and Timbaland), but the result is yet another drawn-out hip-hop album that wanders aimlessly and never really says anything. Nas' rapping is superb as usual, but for the most part it's a wasted effort. Nastradamus From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nastradamus is the fourth studio album by American rapper Nas, released on November 23, 1999 by Ill Will and Columbia Records. It was originally scheduled to be released as a follow-up composed of material from sessions for his previous album I Am..., also released in 1999.[11] Due to bootlegging of the material, Nas recorded separate songs for Nastradamus to meet its November release date.[11] The album debuted at number 7 on the US Billboard 200, selling over 232,000 copies in its first week. It received generally mixed reviews from critics, and has been regarded by some as Nas's weakest effort.[12] However, it achieved considerable commercial success and spawned two charting singles.[11] On December 22, 1999, the album was certified Platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[13] Track listing No. Title Writer(s) Producer(s) Length 1.
