Reviews Customer Reviews for QB Finest Nas - QB Finest Rating: The concept behind Nas "QB Finest" (2000) was a good one. Combine some of Queensbridge established MCs and represent Queensbridge. After a lame Jungle & Wiz intro, Nas, Capone, Mobb Deep, Tragedy Khadafi, Nature, MC Shan, Marley Marl, Cormega & Millennium Thug do a remake track with "Da Bridge 2001" backed by a forgettable beat. Two average tracks follow then Nas provides a standout track on solo with "Find Your Wealth", rhyming and providing his own chorus backed by a solid beat. Jungle, Cormega & Poet rep their hood on "Straight Outta Q.B.". The albums single's follows, as the Bravehearts provide "Oochie Walley", this track is abysmal, simply horrible and I have no clue as to how anyone would think of this as single quality. CNN & Iman Thug then drop an ignorant track with "Our Way". Advocating driving drunk and Nore dissing Jordan (But Buying his shoes) make this one skip material (even for a CNN fan). Nature rhymes over a boring beat on "Fire", and Prodigy rhymes are lackluster on "Power Rap" (Freestyle Interlude). Nas collaborations with Pop on "Street Glory" and Prodigy with "Self Conscience" are on point. The Infamous Mobb provide the albums best banger with the grimy "Die 4". Nas, Bravehearts & Millennium Thug put some heart on "Kids In Da PJ's" a track for kids growing up poor in the ghetto. Nas & Millenium Thug then deliver the albums closer with the stellar "Teenage Thug". Production on this release is not impressive. Very few of the albums beats are beyond average. The main issue I have with this release is I don't feel like the MC's gave it their all. Maybe most of them were to busy focusing on their solo albums and saving their quality material for those. Nas is one of my favorite MC's I felt his own rhyming contributions were on point, this project though could have been handled a lot better. 2.5.
Customer Reviews for QB Finest Cd This s*it is Raw Rating: I aint gon waste anybody time sayin how wack oochie wally is, cuz anybody who heard it knows. Thats some o my reason for givin it 4. Another reason is that unnecessary intro is too long and annoyin. Puttin those aside the album is fire. ON QB 2001 I cant but help notice MC shan is still pissed about his loss. You lost dog, get over it. Find ya wealth is by far my favorite track. I cant say much more about this album. All I can say is cop it.
