The Importance Of Nas’ “Untitled” And How It Was Way Ahead Of Its Time

[IllmaticDelta]

you on your petty shyt.........its alright, Nas will get his turn to get fawned over when his album drops.
you don't need to resort to bumping this because you see Jay getting praised to the hilt.

Not being petty just keeping it real...jay shows a little "wokeness" and cat's start with the god hova the militant praise after years and years of materialistic nonsense when been doing it

that "materialist nonsense" Hov spits is..



but eh...Jay always been "woke" in his own way.
now with experience, wealth etc he's more comfortable doing more from this point because theres more levity to his words an actions now.



but this isn't the thread for a Jay/Nas shyt. i just wanted to point out the pettiness that amused me.

I think this album is dope. Queens Get The Money and Breathe are two of Nas' greatest songs (no one can tell me otherwise) and I never understood why this album got a lukewarm response when it came out. It's more relevant now than ever.

Good point. It shows more now but black people and Hip-Hop culture by extension was in a political honeymoon period when Obama first got elected.

That album is soul food. A lot of people appreciated it after the fact. I actually find it highly rated now.

Definitely ahead of its time.

My thoughts exactly

When I watch/listen to some shyt from the 80s, hell the 60s and see nikkas talking about discrimination and police brutality I just
