Editorial Reviews

Nas is incredibly talented, but he can't really justify the heft of a double album any more than Jay-Z or Wu-Tang could. Still, most of Street's Disciple is as impressive as anything he's done in the previous few years. He's still hip-hop's most compelling and sophisticated lyricist (sorry Eminem, Jigga), and more than a few tracks here burn with his verbal heat–-a flood of phrases and metaphors that inspire imagery as rich as in any movie. Unfortunately, Street's Disciple is twice as long as it needs to be, especially with insipid fare like "The Makings of a Perfect Bitch" or tired club cuts like "No One Else in the Room." You wish Nas had forced himself to cut a single album because half of this double-CD set is truly hot. --Oliver Wang

4 out of 5 stars Great Throwback Joints...But loses steam when tries to kick knowledge.......2006-11-16

Mad props to Nas for doing a song with his father, and making it a hit. Even the hardest thug would love to share a moment like that with their Pops. Lyrically, Nas delivers another hot one but falls off topic wise when delving into the Kobe-Shaq beef, Kobe's trial, dissing Taye Diggs and expessing his religious philosophies. This could have been a classic if it were a lot more focused.

I love Nasir Jones! How people compare Jay-Z to him is sad. Jay-Z speaks about nonsense not just on one song almost all his songs!! He can't hold a candle to Nas's lyrics even if you don't agree with some of Nas politics he is is still thought provoking. If he had done away with maybe 2 or 3 songs on the 2nd disc, in my opinion this would be a classic. Lyrically he is a monster!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2006-09-24

Nas' Street's Disciple definitely has plenty of memorable/outstanding cuts on it. Nas sounds very confident and his lyrical skill is prevelant throughout both discs. The subject matter varies which is way cool in that, it delivers to all audiences of his fans. Every Nas fan will be doing themselves a huge favor by supportin him and pickin this up today. A+

I deleted my first review for this album because I realized later it was unfair.
I'm trying to turn a new leaf. I want to express my opinions, but to express them with a little less venom and a little more respect.

I think Nas is a great rapper, and contrary to what Jay-Z says, Nas is probably the greatest rapper alive. However, I do take issue with some things he harps on in his music. I applaud the love Nas seems to have for black women (that is when he's not calling us bitches, but I guess it depends on how you want to take it); but he seems to have a problem with blacks who don't fit his design on what blackness should be. And this is what I have a problem with; especially with his lyrics on the Street's Disciple cd. What does he mean by the "cooning" and "UPN and WB" thing? Is he insulting the black actors on those networks because of their comedy? My definition of "cooning" is degrading or embarrassing yourself for the sole purpose of appealing to a particular group. You could look at anything blacks do today as "cooning": especially blacks who are falsely acting like thugs or tramps to appeal to the buying public which is predominately white.

What about his comments about Condi Rice? Is she not a real black woman just because she's a Republican? Is she an Uncle Tom? Well, my definition of an Uncle Tom is a black person who sells out their own for the advantage of another. Can't black men and women selling drugs to their own and subsequently having a role in the destruction of their neighborhoods be an example of Uncle Tom behavior? Doesn't that mean 90% of today's rappers, including Nas, apply?

Our skin color makes us black, not our attitudes, behavior, or even political views. He doesn't seem to understand that. He tries to define blackness. Now what if white people tried to define blackness for us? Would we tolerate that? So why do we have a right to define it for others?

I'm not against interracial dating, but as a black woman I certainly understand the frustration with the "trend" of black men disproportionately choosing other races for companionship than other men of other races. But there is a difference between solely dating a certain race because you find disfavor with your own, and just happening to find a person of another race attractive. Does Nas discern the difference or is he against dating whites altogether? Well you see, I don't know what he feels, only what he says in his music. That's the only source I have to judge his mentality. And his mentality seems to need a little work with its open-mindedness, or lack thereof.

4 out of 5 stars Can two discs be better than one?.......2005-07-18

When I heard Nas' new LP "Street's Disciple" would be a double-album, I had a lot of scepticism. Not many rappers have been able to pull off the double album with lots of success - 2Pac's "All Eyez On Me" is probably the best rap double-album, followed by Wu-Tang Forever in distant second. For a lot of double-albums, you can say the artist would've been a lot better off with one disc. Having said all that, SD is a fine double-album, even if it would've benefited as a single disc album. Here's how both of the discs break down:

Disc 1: Disc 1 begins with "A Message To The Feds, Sincerely, We The People", a track as much of a mouthful as it is impressive. Produced by the trio of Chucky Thompson, Salaam Remi and L.E.S. (We'll be seeing a lot of these 3 on SD), they prove that 3 heads are better than 1, helping Nas with a great opener. Nas spits some fire for about 2:40 on the Salaam Remi-produced track "Nazareth Savage", then he hooks up with his new wife Kelis on the Q Tip-produced track "American Way". The beat Q Tip hooks Nas up with isn't anywhere near as good as the one he gave Nas on "One Love", but it's good nonetheless. On "These Are Our Heroes", Nas weeds out some of celebrity sell-outs, then L.E.S. hooks Nas up with a really nice beat on "Disciple", an otherwise good track that suffers from a bad hook. "Sekou Story" and "Live Now" are two stand-outs that stand-out mainly because on these two tracks, Nas decided to alter his voice to sound like a female MC (Scarlett), but it's not too convincing. Still pretty creative, nonetheless. "Rest Of My Life" is skippable, but the 3rd single off SD, "Just A Moment" featuring Quan is also arguably the best track on the whole album. L.E.S. creates a nice backdrop for Nas and newcomer Quan to pay homage to those lost in the past. "Reason" is also skippable, but Nas changes up the mood of Disc 1 for the bonus track "You Know My Style". Salaam Remi flips the Run-D.M.C. cut "Jam-Master Jay" for the beat, while Nas drops some memorable lyrics for a perfect finish to a great disc. While it's not evident before many listens, the first disc is the stronger disc of the two. Nas benefits from the more serious mood of the first disc, and the beats are generally a lot stronger too.

Disc 2: Disc 2 starts off with "Suicide Bounce", a decent track produced by Nas and featuring Busta Rhymes on the hook, kind of disappointing that he doesn't drop a verse here. Next comes the album's title track, produced by Salaam Remi, with Nas' dad Olu Dara on the hook - another decent but unimpressive track. Things do get impressive though; on the self-explanatory track U.B.R. (Unauthorized Biography of Rakim). Nas gets behind the boards again here, but the beat takes a backseat to Nas' flawlessly put together biography of Rakim, one of hip-hop's greatest pioneers, who Nas once drew comparisons to when Illmatic dropped in '94. "Virgo" featuring Ludacris and Doug E. Fresh is another excellent track. With Doug E. Fresh on the beat-box, and Luda rhyming alongside Nas, Virgo is an excellent throwback-style track. The L.E.S.-produced cut "Remember The Times" is a great track about Nas' personal life, but the three tracks after it are all pretty unimpressive. The 2nd single off SD, "Bridging The Gap" is a really nice track, with Olu Dara on the hook, literally "Bridging The Gap" between Blues and Rap. Keon Bryce then delivers a memorable hook on the Salaam Remi-produced cut "War", but "Me & You (Dedicated To Destiny" is a pretty unnecessary track with Nas crooning to his daughter. Disc 2 finishes off with a bang - the 1st single off SD, "Thief's Theme" is classic Nas spitting venom over an "In A Gadda Da Vida" sample salvaged by Salaam Remi. While Disc 2 isn't as good as Disc 1, the more light-hearted Disc 2 definitely does have its moments.

Bottom Line: Street's Disciple, like most double-albums, probably would've benefited as a 16-track single disc album, but it's still pretty impressive as a double album. The production, done mostly by Chucky Thompson, Salaam Remi and L.E.S. is good for the most part, but it would've been great to see DJ Premier, Pete Rock and Large Professor on SD - maybe next album. Meanwhile, Nas is his usual self. Contrary to what some people think, Nas never "fell-off", at least not lyrically, and on SD, Nas delivers some of his most personal and introspective lyrics to date. Street's Disciple is a great album, but I can't stress enough how much better it would have been if it were cut down to 1 disc.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Double Album.......2005-04-15

This is the hottest release of Nas in nearly a decade. He returned at just the right time. I saw the videos for Thief's Theme, Bridgin' Da Gap and Just a Moment and wanted to get this album. Turns out I made the right decision. Also includes the Ludcaris collabo from the Red Light District "Virgo".

4 out of 5 stars A good double album (3and 1/2 stars).......2007-02-02

After he made his worst album Nastradamus, Nas made a classic called Stillmatic and has been on a role ever since. Street's Disciple is a good double album its not a great double album and let me show you why I see it as such. Standout Tracks on disc 1: A MESSAGE TO THE FEDS, SINCERELY WE THE PEOPLE, NAZARETH SAVAGE(crazy), AMERICAN WAY(gem), THESE ARE OUR HEROES(more gems), DISCIPLE, SEKOU STORY(Scarlett is Nas incognegro for the slow people), LIVE NOW, THE REST OF MY LIFE, JUST A MOMENT(touching), REASON etc. Filler on disc 1: None. This album would have got a higher rating from me if it were just this disc but its a DOUBLE ALBUM! Now for the dilemma. Standout Tracks on disc 2: SUICIDE BOUNCE, STREETS DISCIPLE, WAR, THIEF'S THEME(replay material all day). Filler on disc 2: U.B.R.(bland biography on a hip hop icon), Virgo(this song sucks on Ludapiss's album and it sucks now), Remember The Times(fruity beat, vomit inducing lyrics just a bad track), The Makings Of A Perfect B***h(even worser than Remember The Times), Getting Married(getting divorced), No one else in the room(WHY NAS WHY?), Bridging the Gap, etc. Bottom Line: The first disc is excellent but the second disc is suspect making it an okay double album. If Street's Disciple was just the first disc with the four standout tracks on the second disc I would have rated it higher. Disc 1 shows more effort while disc 2 sounds like a rush job.

    Nas on an exclusive Dirty Harry mix tape? Do you know what that means? Well if you're out there in Napoleon Dynamite land and have no clue, I'll fill you in, silly buns: The end result is that this is EASILY one of the year's top 5 mixtapes. (Off the top of my head the other ones would include Cooked Crack 3 by Juelz Santana, the God's Son Project featuring Nas & Jay Z, Rock Phenomenon by Vlad, and the entire J Love series.) Man, we've got Nas up on this CD lacing nasty freestyles over Rakim beats, Dr Dre beats, Lil'Jon beats. I mean, this right here is a downright classic. What are you waiting for? You need this in your collection!
