Dudes can hate on IWW all they want. It's still a damn classic. If you thought IWW was wack, you probably looking too deep into it.

Is there any medium with IWW?
I feel like you either feel that is sucks or that its a classic.

He was also 22 years old when he made the album...Shows the pressure young artists face and how easy it is to succumb to the pressure. And the fact that he did in a sense play to the mafioso drug rap which was the standard at the time but do it such a lyrically profound level, is what's truly real.

Negative, God's Son was cool but I always thought it was his worst LP. I only play about half of it

Nas doesn't have any below average albums.
ya'll remember this track from "Untitled"?

AZ is a poormans NaS Escobar...
There's no real reason for both of them to exist...
But then again does AZ really exist?? He sells less records than Fat Joe... (not to mention makes AWFUL music)
AZ is the UNDERacheiver of UNDERacheivers... He makes Jadakiss career look successful...
Rides that SAME corny flow from like 95, and EVERY verse he spits sounds the EXACT same...
But enuff bashing of rappers that don't matter...
IWW is OVERrated on NT... In real life its about where it should be, another album from the 90s that had some good songs on it...
God's Son is MUCH more thought provoking, the fire that was under NaS #++ when making Stillmatic & God's Son should've been the same intensity he used to record It Was Written with, but it wasn't... And what alot of you dweebs don't understand is how much hip hop changed between Illmatic & IWW...
Illmatic marks the end of of era of sorts, that started with Paid In Full in 87 ended with Illmatic in 94, that chapter was done... BIG/Ghost/Rae spearheaded a NEW sub genre of east coast hip hop that was short lived but produced some memorable albums from late 94 up until BIGs death in March of 97... NaS got stuck inbetween 2 different time periods, and that plays a lot into why IWW & Illmatic sound NOTHING alike from a music standpoint...
