I'm still not in love with all of the production gelling with Nas' style, but there is more here I like than KD1 that was an album I didn't get the fuss with at all. Hit-Boy's production is better, Nas spits some more interesting content and then you've got the Em feature that is something we've all been waiting for. As I began with though, not enough wows me to rank this as highly as many fans have. 'Death Row East' is one of the few that does have production I love with Nas' flow being more engaging, plus the content, 'EMPD 2' is a highlight for the rapping from all involved, 'Rare' has an interesting beat change and 'Count Me In' is one of my favourite rapping performances with a darkish beat, making for a few of my favourite moments. Best Tracks: Death Row East, EPMD 2, Rare, Count Me In
