Stillmatic - Nas

...**OUTRO: EXCITING RUMOURS ABOUT STILLMATIC - WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND** So far the INTRODUCTION predicts that on 'STILLMATIC', there will be a lot of interesting tracks enriched with great subject matter and metaphors. But wait, questions still remain unanswered. How great are the producers and their production scheme throughout 'STILLMATIC'. Would their beats sound ill (i.e. excellent) to my eardrums to match Nas' high quality of rhyming? ...
