God news, Librasoul, the Stillmatic LP lives up to its name. I love all of the tracks; he's really left that Esco buffoonery behind....
Also, both men recently received 5 mics in the source. This is the first accomplishment for Jiggaman, and Nas's second (Illmatic was the first).
True, Jay-hova has figured out that over-saturating the market with the same song over any beat works, but how long will it work, especially since every new rapper (think Fabolous, Ja Rule) is cashing in using the same formula.
The battle for the top is probably one of the best in hip-hop history; I just hope that this one stays on wax.
