Stillmatic is a rap album by Nas. It was released in December of 2001 and was Nas' 5th album, following 1999's I Am ... The Autobiography and Nastradamus.

Stillmatic was one of the most highly anticipated albums of the year, primarily due to the fallout from Nas' heated battle with rival Jay-Z. Jay-Z had previously insulted Nas in his single "Takeover", taken from his September 2001 release, The Blueprint. On Stillmatic, Nas immediately retaliated with "Ether", a response to "Takeover" that labeled Jay-Z as both a sell-out artist and hypocrite.

While Stillmatic was commercially hailed as Nas' comeback album after two years of inactivity and in light of the attacks made by Jay-Z, the album failed to match the massive sales of The Blueprint. Nas followed Stillmatic in 2002 with the album God's Son and in 2004 Street's Disciple, his highest selling album to date.
