Yeah got that as well.

Just listened to the album a couple more times and it gets better. I'm still in shock at how good this is. Recovery is gunna have to do something special to the take the crown of album of the year.

And I take back my comment of Marley not rappign enough - I didnt really take his rapping in on first listen.

This is a definite 10/10 from me. Instant classic and the great thing is it'll cross genres and I can see Nas winning new fans with this. My mum, who dislikes rap but loves reggae, listened to the album, and mentioned how she enjoyed Nas. Was nice to hear.

This album is going to be getting a lot of spins from me over the summer, it was the best album I heard all year until Janelle Monae dropped her debut

Surprising that outside of hiphop magazines, this album hasn't done to well with the critics, I seriously can't find anything wrong with the album, I love Reggae, I love hiphop, and this is a great mixture of both
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified

Fuck Rolling Stones review of this album

I don't mind that they gave it a 3 out of 5 - that's their opinion but they only spoke on 2 tracks and didnt back up the fact they gave it a 3.

To write so little about a major release and have the nerve to rate it without any reasoning pissed me off.
