God's Son was released in December of 2002, and like Stillmatic before it, was subject to major critical acclaim. On God's Son, Naseffectively took the battle-hardened demeanor he had cultivated and tore it down across 14 tracks that were emotionally insular,though still dusted in urban grit, and still finding time to shoot back at Jay-Z's potshots on tracks like "Last Real Nigga Alive" and"Mastermind." Assisting Nas was a slew of top-tier producers like The Alchemist, Eminem, Ron Browz, and Salaam Remi, oversamples of James Brown, the Incredible Bongo Band, Fela Kuti, and Beethoven, and guest vocals from Alicia Keys, Kelis, ClaudetteOrtiz of City High, and even a posthumous 2Pac.
