these beats on I am...

are kinda weak

Nas hasn't had good beats since Illmatic. Too much Trackmasters (Poke & Tone) back then, too much Salaam Remi since about 2000.

and why is nas rapping over wack beats

He's been trying to make a push into a more mainstream audience (like Jay Z) forever. But the same beats that sound good for Jay Z don't work for Nas. He needs the earthier production, the DJ Premier and Large Professor and L.E.S. stuff.

is that why some his flows on some tracks, weak as well

Slower, yes. And seriously, don't bother with Nastradamus. There are maybe three songs worth listening to:
