Nastradamus – NasView More By Nas Our ReviewNastradamus is invested with an aura of pre-millennial tension, and it begins and ends with two pretentious spoken-word pieces about the instability of modern civilization. On Illmatic and It Was Written, Nas triumphed by describing his neighborhood’s smallest elements — a street corner, or the backseat of a car — with exacting detail, but the majority of songs here find him obsessing about large-scale themes such as modern technology (“The New World”), the nature of heaven (“Some of Us Have Angels”), and above all, the newfound wealth that seems to have stolen some of his self-identity (“Life We Chose,” “You Owe Me”).

Whether proclaiming himself "Nasty Nas" or "Nas Escobar" or "Nastradamus" or "God's Son," the self-appointed King of New York battled numerous adversaries for his position atop the epicenter of East Coast rap, none more challenging than Jay-Z, who vied with Nas for the...
