It’s the album the hip-hop community has been desperate to get their hands on; Nas’ eighth (or ninth) studio album is finally here. The tracklist we previously reported was 100% correct, so no surprises are in store for those of you who thought that this album would be somehow different from the leak tracks - though with that said, a few tracks have been properly mixed now (such as The Slave & The Master) and have been perfected.
This should really be a must-have for any Nas (or hip-hop) fan. It’s the first album this year that actually talks about things that matter. Nas really shows off his poetic genius in this album, right from the very first track; Nas rhymes “I’m over their heads like a bulimic on a see-saw” - it’s not often a line goes over my own head, but Nas managed to get me going, “Huh?” and thinking about what he just said. He is a genius, and at the moment, nobody comes close to him in the rap game.
I’ll say it again - this album is a must have for hip-hop fans. This album is a must have for MUSIC fans.
Best album of ‘08 - it’s unlikely we’ll see better, unless Detox really does drop this year.
