So let me star off by saying, this album is courage and bravery. Instead of taking the safe route and releasing a compilation of "I got money" tracks along with "Im in Love" we have a poltically fueled album with enough beat to make you jump. sometimes that is. The best way for me to describe this album is it sounds like nas is giving a report to his teacher. Hes spitting hella knowledge and its making sense he gives you things to think about. each song has its own concept that grasps your mind and makes you listen.
The slave and the master- is more than the truth. you would think he was a fresh rapper who knows the hood and not a rapper whos been rich for 10 15 years. He speaks to the people
Project Roach-Crazy ass concept how they compare the word nigger to a roach. how black people cant get rid of the word nigga like they cant get rid of a roach.
Yall my niggas- Its like the word nigga is talking to all black people. and you say mr.carter is a concept driven track. Being that NAS is reciting the song its also like hes talking about people saying his name. Its crazy..
he talks about how we developed our own language and took a derogotory term and transfomed it into something everybody wants to be. Now this is what music should be about using your voice to day what you want and its a bonus if you have something important to say.
In conclusion this is a dope album THIS IS WHAT A CLASSIC SOUNDS LIKE! obviouslty he has been writing this album for a couple years its not jus something he threw together. the reason i love hip hop.
