Nasty Nas and his Great Hits

Advantages: Most of the hits
Disadvantages: Some big tracks missing

...taken from one of the greatest old-school Hip Hop tracks in history (in my opinion) , "Friends" by Whodini. The Trackmasters as well as Rashad Smith were able to make a big mix from Larry Smith's mid-eighties beat to make it sound much more modern and relevant to Hip Hop about ten years later on. **Five Stars** ---8. "Street Dreams (Remix) (feat. R. Kelly)"--- Album From: "From Illmatic to Stillmatic: The Remixes EP" Year: 1996 Length: 4:27 ...
...talent in one of the greatest diss tracks ever, but I can see how he wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of Jay-Z now as the beef has been squashed and they have both featured on each other's albums. Ignoring this, "Just A Moment" was a very good song, I can see how it's not nearly as great as others, but it was still a big tune. Finally I have to say that "Nastradamus" really needed to be on here because it's a missing stage of his career in ...

It is noted for being recorded at a time when she was newly married and was expecting her first child. 1.“Holiday Celebrate” The album opens up with a track that shows that in this album we are about ...
...lts of effort put into it in order to make it sound much more than your average, quickly-thrown-together Christmas album as we get thoughtful production that mixes in the contemporary R&B trends with the Christmas-y themes for a big opener that I can't find any faults with. **Five Stars** 2.“Christmas In Jamaica” As things move on, we see there here we get what was the second album from the record and a joint that has her linking up with the Dancehall ...
