Advantages: very interesting story Disadvantages: would have been made an easier read with humor
Pawn of Prophecy was written by David Eddings and is part of a three book series. I feel like the author has a similar stile of writing as Terry pratchett although he does not get too technical when explaining how things work.
I must admit its only really till i go to the middle of the story that I began to understand what was happening.the first few chapters go into detail of how there world was created by the seven guards Audor,Torek and five other quards what gets confusing is when he goes into describing which cities the gods are control of and history of many wars that have gone on in the past.
Garion one of the characters in the book is very inquisitive and is always asking how things work and it is because of that he is able to learn more about how life works.Garion is adopted at an early age by aunt pol aka polgara ...
Advantages: Most of the hits Disadvantages: Some big tracks missing
it, but this is where it lost me.
In my opinion, Q-Tip took Nas' laid-back sombre style and turned it into something boring and I certainly do not approve of this, so if the beat was a bit more funky and less dry, then it would have been a decent track. As many did enjoy it in it's time, it does still deserve a spot on this compilation album.

Advantages: Some excellent production and lyrics; ONE MIC and 2ND CHILDHOOD are CROWNED Queensbridge classics Disadvantages: One disappointing guest rapper - AZ remains a SLAVE to THE FLYEST / Some overrated lyrics
with a new, political rap album (released December 2001) and this is where 'STILLMATIC' enters the equation!
Speaking of 'STILLMATIC', allow me to explain the prophecies of how I was destined to purchase this valuable album:
**INTRO: WHY I PURCHASED STILLMATIC**
In March 2002, during my employment at Matalan Ltd, there was a LOT of hype about the quality of 'SILLMATIC' amongst half of the Matalan staff who were Hip-Hop fanatics. Most of the hype centred on Nas' creative diss track ETHER, a response to Jay Z's 'Takeover'. One work colleague strongly recommended I check out Nas' REWIND, one of the SUBLIME tracks off 'STILLMATIC' superbly written by the prophet himself (i.e. Nas).
**OUTRO: EXCITING RUMOURS ABOUT STILLMATIC - WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND**
So far the INTRODUCTION predicts that on 'STILLMATIC', there will be a lot ...
