Short intro

I AmI Am is the third studio album by American rapper Nas, released on April 6, 1999 by Columbia Records. Following the commercial and critical success of 1996's It Was Written, Nas put to work on a double album that merged the styles of his first two albums and detailed entire aspects of his life. Although he was able to use most songs, other songs that would have made I Am a double album leaked onto the internet in MP3 format, forcing him to record new material for two separate single-disc releases.

Following the commercial and critical success of his 1996 sophomore album It Was Written, Nas returned with I Am on April 6, 1999.

Initially, he planned to release the album as a double album with the title I AmThe Autobiography, but the album was released as a single album after a number of the songs were leaked onto the Internet in MP3 format, one of the first albums to be bootlegged in this manner. Despite that setback, the album debuted at 1 on the Billboard 200 and achieved double platinum status with support from the singles Nas Is Like produced by DJ Premier, and the Puff Daddy-ass.

After going back to the studio and starting over Nas returned with a seemingly compromising album that only leaves you wondering who he really is. Lyrically hes still good sometimes even brilliant but unlike It Was Written his flow is often lazy which doesnt go over well when the beats are as weak as the ones provided hear. 1999 - download the album and listen online.
