Simply NASty

By Foz

After months of controversy, Nas decided to change the name of the album from “N*gger” to “Untitled”. Im guessing he was never gona call it that from the get go. Just another marketing tool. I guess we can wait in the up coming weeks to see how sales go. Anyhow thats not what i wanted to talk about. (Man I hate when i get side tracked.)

Im gona sound so biased cus for those who know me, know that i am a Nasir Jones fan. SO, to me, this is one of Nas’ best albums.(yes i said it)

After giving it a thorough listen ima have to say that it is well structured, beats are SO on point, and lyrically he still shows strength.

Now even tho the title has changed, the album touches and embraces the N word, but not in an abusive way but in an educated way. Give tracks 6,9,12,13,14,15 a listen and you’ll know what im talking about.

And a song that will stand out on the album is the last track called: “Black President.” Just in time for the election. Now how crazy would it be if Barack chose that song for his theme music for the Presidential run. LOL!!!

The song reminded me of when Grandmaster Flash and the furious 5 came out with the song “JESSE”, in hopes of having Jesse Jackson to being the next president, back then in the early 80’s.

Now the album has its club bangers, theres a track with Chris Brown and The Game, and theres a track with Busta which is entertaining and not to mention mad jokes.

Please do not sleep on this album cus to me...TO ME.... its already a classic!
