Details: Product description Nas ~ God's Son Amazon.ca Do we have to compare Nas to Jay-Z? Probably not, but skirmishes between New York's premier MCs make it difficult for us to stop. Nas's God's Son may fall victim to Jay Z's more polished Blueprint 2 on the battlefront, but as far as Nas releases go, this one's not that bad at all. In fact, there are some striking stand-out selections. "Made You Look" and "Last Real Nigga Alive" (Nas's inevitable "why Jigga is wack" track) are white hot for the streets, and the Alchemist-produced "Book of Rhymes" showcases the type of witty yet introspective rhymes that Nas fans crave. Still, one can't escape the impression that the album suffers from a bloated track listing and quite a few unnecessary guest appearances, including yet another "collaboration" with the long-dead 2Pac. We also could have done without the tired misogyny of the limited-edition bonus track, "P***y Kills." Oh, and Salaam Remi's beat on "Zone Out" deserves a dope rhyme than the one it supports. But for the most part, Nas's flow is on point. --Rebecca Levine
