Massive bootlegging and the leaking of album tracks in MP3 format (this was a pretty new phenomenon in 1998) really pissed Nas off and he took tracks off the album, added new tracks, and decided to convert I Am to a single album.Īs someone who listened to many of these leaked songs (so conflicted), if the original I Am had been released, it may have been better than Illmatic. I Am was originally supposed to be a double-album magnum opus, but the changing times did not allow for that to happen. It was Nas third album after Illmatic (critically acclaimed but low sales) and It Was Written (critically average but sold pretty well).
