leaked album is hot. is that really the minority opinion? goddamn.

I'm probably also one of the few anywhere that thinks Stillmatic is wild overhyped. maybe I got to listen to this Untitled shit again, but I think it's the best shit he's done since IWW.

OK, so I tried to listen to it again. Couldn't even get through it. Again, awful, don't know why people would subject themselves to this on multiple listens, there's too much better stuff to listen to right now. Beats are just terrible.

TI's new album is gonna be >>> everything mentioned in this thread.

"Louis Rag," "No Matter What," and "Better Day" are all great, great tracks. Dude's not gonna have to worry about getting good production either: Swizz Beats, Pollow da Don, and DJ Toomp are all blessing him.

if everyone in hip hop just ignored 50... then Nas just :copy: 'ed him with 'Ether 2', hip hop would start bleeding rainbows out of its bulletwounds and platinum-plated diamonds would start growing out of ghetto concrete.

Nas - Hero - [Video]

Post by Conscious »

http://freehiphopnow.blogspot.com/2008/ ... video.html

This Hero Song is Kanye-ish. Second verse... Not the video...

Nas sounds like he's slightly chasing the beat. Not outtah breath but not seamlessly delivering...

I wouldn't call Nas "irrelevant", just "removed from the center of the action", aka "not where Lil Wayne is in rap".
50 Cent? IRRELEVANT RAP MUSIC MAKER. :rofl:

and though the dis isn't that :copy:, you know 50 Cent is fucking :jiz: over it... even though it's not simplistic enough to mount a retaliation that the G-Unit Stan goonsquad can wave a flag for

I love how Nas gives 50 the dis he wants, but makes it so extended and lyrical that only the wise ones can appreciate it... the new school fools probably have no idea about the Rakim reference Nas's 50 Cent dis is based on, :grin:

yo, how come nobody thinks this about the album?
The N****r movement has been a lonely crusade for Nasir Jones. As a younger artist, he was regularly blasted for allegedly selling out his musical integrity. Years later, a mature Nas now sees his attempts to bring relevant social issues to Hip-Hop cynically dismissed as a pseudo gimmick to gain exposure. But after all the comments and discussion, the final word will always be the quality of the music. And with the recently censored album name now christened Untitled (Def Jam), Nas seeks to validate himself after months of intense pressure from fans and media alike.



The album begins with the haunting sparse piano chords of ג€œQueens Get the Money.ג€ The lack of drums makes the track initially sound abrasive; as Nas weaves his rhymes on and off beat. But it is the dissonance of Jay Electronicaג€™s production that accentuates Nasג€™ lyrics midway. The Queensbridge poet paraphrases elements from Rakimג€™s classic fourth verse on ג€œMy Melodyג€ to take some piercing jabs at former apprentice 50 Cent.



Regular collaborator Salaam Remi delivers a bass heavy, jazz infused rendition of ג€œCanג€™t Stop Us Now.ג€ The now popular sample has seen recent renditions from MF Doom, Mos Def, and the RZA. However, Remi makes the piece unique by incorporating jazz trumpet chords, the soulful crooning of Eban Thomas of The Stylistics, and the authoritative spoken word of the Last Poets. Nasג€™ rhymes remain on point as he takes aim at our accepted beliefs on early American patriotism (ג€œBesty Ross sowed the first American flag / Bet she had a n****r with her to help her old assג€).



Recent criticism against Nasג€™ albums has been his use of somber, demure production, which the Queens MC has made strides in addressing. On the graceful ג€œBreathe,ג€ the melodic rhythms blend effortlessly with his urges for us to ג€œexhaleג€ on the stresses of American life. The celebratory ג€œMake The World Go Round,ג€ by far the most commercial and radio aimed track, works mainly due to the lyrical chemistry between The Game and Nas.



However, the slick production starts to wane thin by the Stargate produced ג€œAmerica.ג€ The continued bombardment of synth originated cadences (especially after the sonorous but enjoyable lead single ג€œHeroג€) starts to pull the listener out of the album. Still, Nasג€™ verses remain potent, especially a standout third verse criticizing the sexism and imperialism of Western society.



The LP gets back on track with the rock-tinged ג€œSly Fox.ג€ Over PE reminiscent guitar riffs, Nas cleverly assaults the moral authority of Fox News on the basis of their manipulation of news and business dealings with Youtube and Myspace (ג€œOnly Fox that I love was the Redd one / Only black man the at Fox love is in jail or a dead oneג€). With ג€œTestify,ג€ Nas creatively crafts the song in the conversation flow of ג€œBook Of Rhymes,ג€ while questioning whether his fans are ready for social action beyond the music.



First seen on the now classic ג€œI Gave You Power,ג€ Nasג€™ expertise at personification is once again on display with ג€œProject Roachג€ and ג€œFried Chicken.ג€ On the former, the Last Poets appear again to ridicule the NAACPג€™s ג€œfuneralג€ for the word n****r, while Nas personifies the insect as a metaphor for the derogatory term. With the latter track, Busta Rhymes joins in as both MCג€™s skewer the stereotype of Black eating habits over Mark Ronsonג€™s southern blues styled production.



The criticism is not just directed outward, as Nas questions his own materialism on the reflective and communal ג€œYג€™all My N****s.ג€ He continues that trend on the ethereal, ג€œWeג€™re Not Alone,ג€ where Nas expresses regret at previously glorifying killers like Pappy Mason over figures such as historian Ivan Van Sertima.



On Hip Hop Is Dead, Nas made the mistake of presenting that topic as a loose theme over the album and expecting listeners to pick up subliminal messages. With Untitled, heג€™s able to not only cohesively explain his stance on the word n****r, but detail its use throughout history on social, political, and judicial levels. And despite the dense subject matter, Nasג€™ varied lyrical presentations keep the opus from ever becoming preachy or condescending.



Notwithstanding minor missteps in sequencing and production, Untitled has delivered on its potential as a cogent, intellectually honest piece of art. And like its predecessor The N****r Tape, Nasir Jones has crafted not only a career highlight in his catalogue, but the most thought-provoking and challenging mainstream Hip-Hop album in a long time.

Was checking out the thread while dl'in, given the responses it got here I expected to really like it. And I sort of do.

Yes, some of the beats are paper-thin. It's still not his worst produced album, I don't think it has as many cringe-moments as HHID, SD, I Am or Nastradamous. Not a single beat I'd say is flat-out wack.

The lyrics are great in some spots. He still paints imagery and piece words together better than almost anyone.

The only thing I don't like is how every fucking song is negro-conscious. The concept gets so stale towards the end I feel like screaming NIGGGGGER! just to offend a random black guy on the bus.

"It's not for you, you don't understand the black mans bla bla bla bla" some might say, and this is true. Yet I hardly believe Nas sits at home all day pondering his blackness, and if he does he has too much time on his hands. Hes forcing the black-leader role down people's throat without anyone really proclaiming him spokesperson for anything at all.

Then you got songs about roaches and chicken... I don't really get down with that and can't see myself playing it more than a few times.

Game sounds kinda off-beat and tries to imitate Nas' flow, what a cunt-croc.

In conclusion, this is what I expected. 2.5-3/5. If anyone expects more from your favorite 40year old rapper I suggest you start getting into a new genre.
Whether to Jason of Philaflava or John Podesta, I will speak my fucking perspective openly

Looks like you got what you were asking for already.
Im kinda pissed off though... for the fact that I got one nas song on heavy ipod rotation... its the Talk of New York (Hard to Earn mix)... i got to find that to upload it... i don't recall saving it on a disc though... I'll look... if you didn't hear that you're missing out.

It's either he caught a body, no sleep they watchin'!
I watch CBS
And I See B.S.!
Tryin' to track us down with GPS
Make a nigga wanna invest in PBS

[Chorus]

Watch what you watchin'
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Big Brother is watchin'

Watch what you watchin'
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Fox 5 is watchin'

[Verse 3:NaS]

They say I'm all about murder-murder and kill-kill
But what about Grindhouse and Kill Bill?
What about Cheney and Halliburton? (Halliburton?)
The backdoor deals
On oil fields
How's NaS the most violent person?
Ya'll don't know talent if it hit you
Bringin' up my criminal possession charges with a pistol (pistol)
I use Viacom
As my firearm
And let the lyrics split you
Who do you rely upon?
They shoot shells at Leviathan
I'm dealing with the higher form
F**k if you care how I write a poem?
Only Fox that I love was the red one
Only black man that Fox loves is in jail or a dead one!
Red rum
Political bedlam
Don't let the hype into your eyes and ear drum
Murdoch on Fox
Not 18 with Barracas
And he hate Barack cause
He march with the marchers

[Outro]

I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth.
Not the biased truth
Not the liar's truth
But the highest truth
I will not be deceived
nor will I believe
In the Propaganda
I will not fall for the Okey-Doke
I am tuned-in

[NaS]

Watch, cause they're watching
Watch what you're watching

Better watch, cause they're watching
Watch what you're watching

Me-Me-Media
Misleading ya

Watch what you're watching
how you dont appreciate this I dont get..coulda got better beats, but like usual he spits crazy

"It's not for you, you don't understand the black mans bla bla bla bla" some might say, and this is true. Yet I hardly believe Nas sits at home all day pondering his blackness, and if he does he has too much time on his hands. Hes forcing the black-leader role down people's throat without anyone really proclaiming him spokesperson for anything at all.
WTF are you on about. he's not forcing shit down anyone's throat. you chose to listen to his album
