I've actually always wanted to listen to this cd,after Hiphop is dead came out and was commercially successful. So i downloaded this cd, and I loved it. It's got an awesome/ positive message, the beats are hot, and it's very enjoyable to listen to. I like how he took something so controversial, and made it into something that was enjoyable to listen to.Some of my favorite rracks were Breath, Nigger, Make the world go round, and hero. I'm very surprised Hero didn't do better on the charts, because it's very reminiscent of Turnin it on. I thought the duet with Chris Brown was one of the best singles brown has ever done.(It showed alot more maturity then some of his other work). If you love hiphop/ r&b then this is a must have! It's very good, and Nas is very talented!
