Biography
Queensbridge, New York (1991 – present)
Illmatic was a critically acclaimed bestseller and is widely considered one of the greatest rap albums of all time. He married R&B singer Kelis in 2005, they have one son together, and she filed for divorce on the 29th of April 2009. Nas was also a part of hip hop supergroup The Firm, which released one album.
In the years following the release of Illmatic, Nas pursued a more commercial direction, which resulted in wider success but decreased artistic credibility among critics and hip-hop purists. Furthermore, Nas’ increased commercial success was accompanied by stylistic changes that fostered accusations of “selling out”. Nevertheless, the LP Stillmatic is often credited for restoring Nas’ credibility among fans. Since the success of Stillmatic, Nas continues to maintain a high profile within the hip hop community, and has pursued a decidedly progressive and personal aesthetic. While Nas’ current artistic direction differs greatly from his most successful work, it has ensured that he remains one of the most respected and acclaimed contemporary rappers.

French got bars for days. His debut album, Excuse My French, surpassed Illmatic lyrically by a mile.

I think the reason people are spewing these "it's his best since Illmatic etc." platitudes is largely because they're stuck on Nas' 90s boom bap/mafioso-type shit (which Life Is Good happily bathes in) and simply don't give his mid-late '00s material the time of day... and God's Son has some of the most suspect production of any Nas album no matter how you spin it. If hip-hop listeners open their minds I think they'll realize that some of Nas' most stellar material is his least predictable and outside of the Illmatic/It Was Written/Stillmatic/God's Son (and now Life Is Good) bracket... Street's Disciple, Hip Hop Is Dead and Untitled are all superior (to Life Is Good) imho.
