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.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Still nasty, but not always in the best way
Nas is just amazing when it comes to fitting so many syllables into every single line of his verses, but it is mostly for not on this new album. Unfortunately, the production on this album does not rise to the same level as Nas' lyrics, and the result is an album that lacks that lyrical/musical cohesion that really cemented the legacy of "Illmatic" and later Nas albums. Topically, Nas is pretty on point, maybe even a bit overly didactic, but with Nas spitting over music that is better fitted to a ... Read More
Rating:  - Unplug From The Matrix
Nas has a certainty and fire on this release. Apples and oranges; it isn't Illmatic and thank God. Move on people. As a caucasion hip-hop lover, I will be honest, there are parts that make me squirm in my chair. A lot of what Nas says, I can't grasp right away and really digest what he is meaning. Like a complex film, book or artist, this is the genius of Nas. There isn't another hip-hop artist right now throwing the darts that Nas got. Nobody else can. He is simply hip-hop's poet. There are songs ... Read More
Rating:  - The Sickness of Hip Hop Has Finally Brought Nasty Nas Back
On his last album "Hip Hop Is Dead" Nasty Nas was challenged by other rappers on his statement. Only problem with that was he was being challenged by rappers and not true MC's like himself. This is the thing, Nas has never let fans down lyrically. He always delievers because he has something to say. When he made illmatic he had nothing but hunger, most MC's die after that cause they get paid and loose it. Nas will always have a hunger even if it isn't the same hunger he had on that classic album. For ... Read More
Rating:  - R.I.P NAS
It would be nice to enjoy this album without the embarrasing sounding amateurish hooks, and that gay elevator, live present day jazz production. It sounds like a bootleg band who wants to be The Roots really bad produced the album. As always though, Nas's vision, and rhyme definitely shines, but, as always on the majority of his albums he has no taste in production. I guess he's either being cheap, or just gambling playing with a new sound, and falls flat every other time. I just don't know what the ... Read More
Rating: - an important piece of art
its funny how people knock the production in this album when every track is produced with a lot of detail with the beats being critical to the songs character and entirety. if nas made an album w/ a bunch of club beats then he may have a bunch of more kids listening to him, but the messages that he conveys will be lost. this album has diverse styles of songs and production and they all have a point to them.
and what nas has to say in this album is very important for our current culture and ... Read More
