This album prob has at least 4 top 20 Nas jams. I'd probably rather listen to IWW more than any non-Illmatic Nas album right now.

Haha I was sorta trolling
― LOOK WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLA (deej), Wednesday, 11 February 2009 03:09 (fifteen years ago) link
You know, I was thinking about this album and due to the fact that the Nas of It Was Written is much closer to Illmatic-era Nas than it is to current Nas, all the "This is not the same Nas!" handwringing over it seems rather quaint.

alright so
i kinda feel this now
been playin it nonstop and the narrative shit like the setup feels like hype williams doing ellroy or something, super abstracted crime shit i love it.
i can pretty much do "take it in blood" from memory now and that line about "20 gods poppin wheelies on kawasakis" is dope as fuck just such an incredible mental image
