Editorial Review: Album Description: Nas is back and more controversial than ever on his new untitled Def Jam release. On this, his 9th studio album, Nas studies and lyrically dissects some of the our most divisive issues: race, inequality, poverty, and power. And who better to stir up debate than the man most consider one of the top five emcees in the history of the game? From his brilliant 1994 debut Illmatic, to his mainstream success with It Was Written, to anthems like "Hate Me Now" and "One Mic" and his venomous lyricism on "Ether," Nas' ability to tell stories, educate, make you dance--and make you look--is the stuff of rap legend. The outspoken Queensbridge rapper has sold over 15 million albums worldwide over the course of his storied career. Nas' Def Jam debut, Hip-Hop Is Dead, was released in December 2006 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 with over 350,000 copies sold in its first week. Preparing now for the 2nd Def Jam release, Nas is ready to release his untitled album on July 15th. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Commericial Hip-Hop's Saving GraceNas is as real as Ice Water and you better bring a life preserver if you think you can tread water behind him ask Jay-Z after Ether. He soon reconciled and recruited this mad lyricist to his camp. I could say many positive things about this brother and the most important I feel is that he has stayed grounded and been about the Revolution. He is even much more prolific and resolute as he matures just like fine wine. And he is taking the news media to task as he should because that is the real purpose for rap music that has grown into Hip-Hop. Nas is ole school, he is a Rapper, he is not looking for you to drop and pop it to his offerings he wants you to pay attention to his words of wisdom and carry the torch of righteousness/fairness and ... Read More: Rating:  - Controversial, somber, honest and not for everyoneVerily, I say, this is the most controversial album of 2008. Nas is always honest about his views and feelings and it is usually not pretty. He's blatant with his words and, there is no doubt, some people will be offended by his statements, but that is apparently his intention. Just recall weeks before the release of the album and how much chaos it stirred up. The quality of this album as a unit is decent, however, as usual, his lyrics are the most grand aspect. The hooks and beats, for the most part, are sub-par, but Nas has the ability to take you away with his clever wordplay. "Lost Tapes" and "Hip Hop is Dead" are still my favorite works by this artist, but this album holds its own and I will be taking a lot more listens. ... Read More: Rating: - Classic!!! Nas tells it like it is. First off, let me say that Nas is one of my favorite rappers. No other rapper can touch Nas right now. Period. Nas spoke the truth on this album and I know a lot of people are mad at him about it. But they already bought the album so Nas already made his money whether they liked it or not. This album is nothing but the truth and it needed to be said. The song "America" is the best hip hop song out right now. This whole album is the best hip hop album out right now and Nas should get album of the year. He has always been talented. I knew that from the moment I heard his classic debut, Illmatic. He has always been a cut above the rest. I love the fact that Nas is not a corporate clown rapper trying to be an Uncle Tom and please the industry. There's ... Read More: Rating:  - Horrible. Sucks. Don't believe the hype!This album is garbage. Lack luster production with pretty much every song being about how "the man" is still controlling things. He tried to use the N word to get free publicity and it worked but in the end he just made himself look like a fool. He tried to use the N word like NWA did but he's been far removed from being someone that can be an activist. thiswas supposed to be something revolutionary but this is also music and if it's not something that's good to listen to then just write a book with your thoughts. This's is actually worse than street's diciple. Don't waste your money on someone trying to make money off of the N word. Rating:  - I think Nas jumped the shark with this albumSince day 1, Nas has been one of, if not my favorite, rapper. Even his weaker albums(Nastradamus;Streets Disciple)I played the hell out of when they were released and even to this day. This album is a few steps below either of those albums, and BY FAR is the weakest LP he has put together. I can ramble on all day about his prior albums, where he came from, how he evolved. I can break down each song and ramble on which ones I liked and which ones were wack. The bottom line though, is I really didn't care for this album at all. The beats, the message, the flow of it, EVERYTHING. One decent song, one borefest. One awesome song, one borefest. One decent song, two borefests. etc etc Also, can someone tell me where the heck L.E.S. ... Read More: |
