Nas' most recent album Untitled received mixed reviews, was listened to briefly by most, and then disappeared from public dialogue.
Why? Because the album achieved what it set out to: create a buzz based on a controversial word, sell to the masses (particularly young urban youth), and make Nas a ton of money. This would be fine had he not chosen a word like Nigger to be his controversial keyword, then subsequently not addressed a single real issue pertaining to the title on the album. What exactly young black men walked away with from this album is unclear, though probably a new-found ability to metaphorically compare a woman to fried chicken is at the top of the list.
I knew he had no cannon fodder for this album before it even dropped. It was clear at the Grammy's he didn't know what he stood for.
NYOil has been the only real MC willing to stand up to Nas on this. This cat is our generation's KRS-One...
