	Stillmatic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Upon its release, Stillmatic was hailed by hip-hop fans and critics alike as Nas's best album since his landmark debut, Illmatic.
		Stillmatic was one of the most highly anticipated hip-hop albums of the year, primarily due to the fallout from Nas' heated battle with rival Jay-Z.
		On Stillmatic, Nas retaliated with the anticipated song, "Ether", a response to "Takeover" that labeled Jay-Z as both a sell-out artist, a hypocrite, and of stealing lyrics from Biggie.

	:: MVRemix: Album Reviews - Nas - Stillmatic ::
		I remember hearing this album for the first time just one day before I turned 19 and from that point on to today, the number of mental notes I made regarding this aspect or that aspect or whatever aspect were lost.
		Although this song does not live up to the rest of the album, it is 'Stillmatic.' This can be compared to the best tracks that the streetwise 'Nastradamus' made, but with an 'It Was Written' flow.
		Yes and no. It indeed serves as a sequel in the sense that it reunites L.E.S, Nas, and AZ, but all three are now 'Stillmatic.' 'Life's A Bitch' featured two MCs and a producer struggling on their knees who got high because they never knew when they were going to go.

	Nas: Stillmatic (2001): Reviews
		'Stillmatic', as ever, is far from flawless but, at its best, it addresses the hip-hop landscape of 2002 as lucidly as 'Illmatic' did that of '94.
		Stillmatic wouldn't be a proper Nas record if it didn't contain at least a few regrettable detours into bad taste, and the album boasts its share.
		Stillmatic is all the proof anyone needs that Nas isn't as special as he was five years before the album's release.

	The Guide -- Nas’ Newest Exceeds Expectations
		Anchored by the lead single “Got Ur Self a,” Stillmatic does not succeed with the usual radio friendly tunes of popular hip-hop, but instead with a raw sound that impresses not only at first listen, but over and over as one keeps noticing more and more intricacies in Nas’ lyrics.
		Stillmatic is not just limited to firing shots at other rappers.
		Stillmatic is an amazing album that nearly makes me forget the nightmare Nastradamus.

	The Cavalier Daily (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		And this helps him on some of the spottier tracks on "Stillmatic." It was only a matter of time before someone sampled "The Sopranos'" theme song, but "Got Ur Self A..." joins "Nas Is Like" as the most inspired post-"Illmatic" singles.
		In the intro, Nas swears "it's always forward I'm moving / never backward, stupid." But "Stillmatic's" centerpiece is the reflective "2nd Childhood," with a DJ Premier beat that you could pour on your mashed potatoes.
		Most of "Stillmatic" is just as essential, and it's not just because it includes the only recorded evidence of praise for Ma$e (you reading, Smithsonian?).

	Tower Records - Stillmatic [Explicit Lyrics] - Nas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Just by the title, STILLMATIC makes obvious its yearning to recapture that feel, a ridiculously tall order if not impossible, but it comes dangerously close, which merely makes it one of the top albums of its year.
		On Stillmatic, Nas attempts to prove, for the last time, that Illmatic was no fluke.
		Illmatic and Stillmatic share a lot of the same themes: jealousy, envy, street life, paper chases and drama.

	Nas : Stillmatic - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Dropping many of the mainstream hooks and featured performers in order to focus his rapping, Nas proves he's still a world-class rhymer, but he does sound out of touch in the process of defending his honor.
		Despite the many highlights, a few of these tracks (most were produced by either Large Professor or Nas himself) just end up weighing him down: "Smokin'," one of the worst, is an odd G-funk track that would've sounded dated years before its release.
		Stillmatic certainly isn't as commercial as past Nas output, but it places him squarely behind the times.

	Review of Nas's Stillmatic
		So you waited for Stillmatic as proof positive that Nas really is lying in the lyrical gutter somewhere, stripped of his medals, fallen back to earth.
		Well that’s too bad because that’s not what Stillmatic is about, and the rubber neckers should be ashamed of themselves.
		“Stillmatic (The Intro)”, “Ether”, and “Got Ur Self a” are all street rattling playground disses.

	Stillmatic Review (SNICKA.com)
		I thought Nas’s career was done after hearing Jay-Z rip him on “The Takeover” and I still remember the bitter taste left in my mouth from his last two releases I Am and Nastradamus.
		While a more mature side is shown for a majority of Stillmatic, the lyrical ferocity that Nas brought to Jay-Z on the response record “Ether” does surface on some occasions.
		Stillmatic is a solid album that shows the maturation of one of the best lyricists to ever wield a mic.

	Nas: One Mic - PopMatters Music Video Review
		And before that, he took a minute to do the Bono-Puffy-all-star extravaganza for the benefit cover of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?" Mainstream and all tied up with post-9/11 flag-waving as it was, the single did bring Nas in a lyricist first, and charismatic performer second.
		Stillmatic is all about returning -- to roots, ideals, neighborhoods, dreams, and ambitions.
		But "stillmatic," a kind of motion in poetry, appears to be just right, a way to reimagine time and space inside, rather than according to someone else's measure.

	Facts about stillmatic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		After I Am and Nastradamus were panned, and with Jay Z launching an all out assualt on Takeover in 2001 off of Jay's Blueprint CD, many, including Jay, thought Nas was finished.
		Instead, Takeover seemed to snap Nas out of his years' long funk, and near the end of 2001, Nas retaliated with "Ether" off the album Stillmatic, which may be the best rap CD released in the last 2 years.
		While many rap fans focused on "Ether" and the beef, the rest of Stillmatic is what made this CD a classic.

		On Stillmatic, Nas retaliated with the anticipated song, "Ether", a response to "Takeover" that labeled Jay-Z as both a sell-out artist and hypocrite.
		The lead single from Stillmatic was "Got Ur Self A...", with a piano loop reminiscent of the music for a king's coronation and a sample from the well-known theme song of the HBO drama The Sopranos.
		The second single was "One Mic", which received acclaim for its content and video.

	VH1.com : News : Nas Out To Prove He's Stillmatic
		Earlier this year, Nas blasted the Roc-A-Fella Records camp on "Stillmatic," and more recently he proclaimed his prowess on the underground gem "The General." "Stillmatic" saturated underground mixtapes late in the summer, and the Swizz Beatz-produced "The General" made its way to the streets last week.
		The game plan for Stillmatic was simple Nas wanted to show the world he was as "Nasty" on the mic as he was seven years ago when he debuted with the universally accepted classic, Illmatic.
		Stillmatic was recorded in the Bahamas and New York and should be wrapped up by next week.

	Stillmatic
		Better than Nastradamus, stillmatic brings hard hitting rhymes such as 'one mic' and the jay-z diss 'ether' which is wickid.
		For all the critics who thought that Nas was finished after Nastradamus, Stillmatic proves he is still one of the best emcees of all time.
		The furious 'ether' is a brilliant reply to Jay-Z's verbal barbs and 'you're the man' helps fans to realise the pressure Nas is under to reproduce his best work.

	Nas :: From Illmatic to Stillmatic - The Remixes :: Ill Will/Columbia Records
		The Nas EP "From Illmatic to Stillmatic" falls somewhere in between, but the first cut is so off-putting it almost derails the whole process.
		The original "Life's a Bitch" from "Illmatic" was a joint so soulful and smooth that it made the previously unknown AZ the Visualiza suddenly one of the hottest prospects in all of rap music.
		It is followed by a smooth remake of "Affirmative Action" built on a piano loop from the hip-hop classic "The Symphony" by the Juice Crew All-Stars.

	RapReviews.com Feature for December 18, 2001 - Nas' "Stillmatic"
		The boiling pot simmered over when Nas accused Jay of being an "H to the Izzo, M to the Izzo" on a widely dubbed mixtape that circulated back and forth between the streets and the internet.
		"Stillmatic" brings the career of Nas' full circle back to where it all started, so the title is no coincidence.
		Whether it was being dissed by Jay-Z that got him charged, or the doubts of too many naysayers who said he had sold out or fell off, the verbal attack of his raps has been polished to the shine of a samurai blade so sharp it could split a hair in half.

	THE MACK : NAS: STILLMATIC
		Nas’ return to glory certainly comes at the expense of Jay-Z. The first cut on Stillmatic is the unforgiving diss “Ether.” The track is what people had been waiting for: An angry rebuttal to “Takeover” that pulls no punches.
		However, what pushes Stillmatic past its more sophomoric elements are its innovation and conscious verses.
		Nasty Nas is back, and on Stillmatic, he’s finally cashing in on his promise.

		But like the proverbial phoenix, Nasty Nas has risen from the ashes to reclaim his crown as hip-hop's king with the release of Stillmatic.
		Despite its flaws, Stillmatic is perhaps the best hip-hop album of the year and certainly the best Nas album since Illmatic.
		This is a must buy LP that will provide definite listening satisfaction to Nas fans, past and present.
