The album closes with "What Goes Around," which samples The Beatles’ "A Day in the Life." It cemented that Nas hadn't just returned; he had evolved.

Stillmatic sold over 500,000 copies in its first week, debuting at number 5 on the Billboard 200. It went Platinum. More importantly, it single-handedly restored Nas's reputation. It answered Jay-Z’s "Takeover" with the nuclear option—"Ether"—and gave birth to a decade of fierce, competitive rap.
