Nas Holds Number 1 Spot In Billboard Charts, Knocks Wayne Off The Top

We all saw it coming, but Wayne’s number #1 album The Carter 3 has finally been knocked off the top spot by Nas’ latest album, Untitled.

The album shifted 187,078 copies in its debuting week, which does not compare to Lil’ Waynes million sold in the first week, but considering Nas had no commercial heavy hitting chart topping singles (bar Hero, but even that wasn’t dumbed down enough for chart dominance), we’d say he’s done pretty damn good as far as sales go.

Nas’ Untiteld was released officially on 15th July. You can read our thoughts on the album here.

Nas ‘Untitled’ Finally Drops And Delivers - His Best Album Since Illmatic?

Posted on July 15, 2008 in News

Nas 8th Studio Album

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.

More Nas News: Signs Deal With Fila, More Tracks Leak

Posted on July 4, 2008 in News

Nas has signed a one year endorsement deal with South Korea’s largest sportswear manufacturing company, Fila. In exchange for Nas wearing the latest Fila products, the company will be providing financial support for additional advertising campaigns for Nas’ upcoming album Untitled.

Additionally, and more excitingly, Nas will also co-create a new line of Fila street wear inspired by late-80’s fashion.

“My best friend Will and I loved Fila. It represented prestige and everything that was cool to us. When Will passed, we buried him in a black Fila sweat suit, so doing a deal with them has a lot of significance for me.”

In other Nas news, yet more tracks have leaked off of his latest album dropping July 15th; it wouldn’t surprise us if the whole album is on the internet within the next few days. It’s rumored that G-Unit boss 50 cent is behind the leak, but we’re not so sure how realistic that is. Anyway, check out the first new track below, entitled “Breathe”:

And the latest leak below, “The World Go Round” featuring Chris Brown and The Game.

Both tracks are strong and it is looking like Untitled may be a true classic. Roll on July 15th.

Nas ‘N’ Leaks Galore - Sly Fox, Fried Chicken, Tracklist

Posted on June 28, 2008 in News

We’re not sure what happened over the past day or so, but a hurricane of new Nas information, along with two new joints, has leaked.

The first new leaked track is entitled “Sly Fox” and is produced by Stic.man (of rap group Dead Prez) - the track has Nas firing off at the Fox news network, “propaganda, visual cancer” Nas rhymes over the rock influenced beat.

The second leaked track, which I feel is slightly stronger than the previous (not that Sly Fox isn’t a solid track - it is!) is Fried Chicken with an appearance from fellow NY rapper Busta Rhymes. The track has Nas and Busta comparing Fried Chicken to women, and is a very nice track despite the short length. The track is produced by Mark Ronson, one of my favorite producers.

And finally, a tracklist for Nas’s “untitled” or “N” album was also leaked; there is no confirmation that this is indeed the final tracklist, but it looks pretty good - though “Be A Nigger Too” is missing. Hmm.

01. Queens Get The Money (Produced by Jay Electronica)
02. You Can’t Stop Us Now (feat. Eban Thomas of The Stylistics & The Last Poets) (Produced by Salaam Remi)
03. Breathe (Produced by J. Myers & Dustin Moore)
04. Make The World Go Round (feat. Chris Brown & The Game) (Co-produced by Cool & Dre & The Game)
05. Hero (feat. Keri Hilson) (Produced by Polow Da Don)
06. America (Produced by Stargate)
07. Sly Fox (Produced by stic.man of Dead Prez)
08. Testify (Produced by Mark Batson)
09. N.I.G.G.E.R. (The Slave And The Master) (Produced by DJ Toomp)
10. Untitled (Produced by stic.man of Dead Prez)
11. Fried Chicken (feat. Busta Rhymes) (Produced by Mark Ronson)
12. Project Roach (feat. The Last Poets) (Produced by Eric Hudson)
13. Ya’ll My Niggas (Produced by J. Myers)
14. We’re Not Alone (feat. Mykel) (Produced by stic.man of Dead Prez)
15. Black President (feat. Johnny Polygon) (Produced by DJ Green Lantern)

It’s a shame that Jay-Z is not present for the album, but I can’t wait for the album regardless. Roll on July 16th - let’s hope this doesn’t get delayed again.

Nas - Hero - One word. WOW.

Algierz Dead Presidents Tee | A fantastic new T-Shirt from the south

Posted on March 1, 2008 in Algierz, T-Shirt

It’s almost shocking to see an urban clothing company on so much of a grind; Algierz just keep coming with totally heavy and dope designs every damn season. This T-Shirt is no exception, which is why as soon as I saw it I had to get down here and blog about this beast.

algierz tee

Well, the theme of this tee is based on nothing other than perhaps one of the most highly rated rap tracks in the history of mankind; Dead Presidents. You remember that, right? Let me refresh your memory… “You made it a hot line, I made it a hot song!” exclaimed Jigga.

The shirt features the classic yet super fly and awesome caricature look that Algierz is known for and of course features the greatest line in hip-hop history as recited by NaS – “Dead Presidents Represent Me” – wow.

This is a truly awesome shirt, and I’m so excited about it. It’s so fly. It’s so dope. I’m going to order one of these as soon as I finish writing this post. So, let’s end it before they run out of stock! See below for the link to the store, and for more information/pictures.
