He's got a lot of polarizing records in his collection, this might be the most polarizing with the critics as I've seen people give it anywhere from 3/10 to 4.5 mics.
I get that some people thought he kinda had ideas and throwed them out aimlessly but even in drunk boxer fashion he landed some jabs even if sonically the records might be flawed for some (Sly Fox, Breathe, We're Not Alone, Slave and the Master)

I fukked with it that summer heavy just because like now in 07-08 it had a place with everything going on (Obama's election, Jena 6, Don Imus situation, Sean Bell's murder)

It kinda worked as the alternative Hip Hop record that summer next to the Carter 3.

Yep. He touched on that here:

I honestly think u can make an argument that this is Nasir's 3rd best album after Illmatic and It Was Written

 

[Diunx]

Future classic.

2008 was a good summer. Untitled, Carter 3 and The 3rd World (Immortal Technique) were the major albums that I listened to. Moreso, Nas and Immortal Technique. Wayne got some burn though. I specifically remember that summer was when the Drake was ghost writing for Wayne rumors starting.

 

[Dragonfly Jones]

Untitled is a 9.5/10 album imo and any black person who doesn't like it is probably a c00n who'd rather listen to catchy melodies and beats rather than some profound lyrical spittage from the young Gawd Nasir


Rap's Gill Scott Heron

 

[Blackout]

Nas Won

Carter III was lazy and lead the downfall of rap.

 

[CHERUB]

This gem

 

[prophecypro]

Of course the tracks that were left off the album which were on the ****** Tape and El Dorado Black Project were fire too

Be a nikka Too
Association
Esco Lets Go
Courthouse
Something Foul
Curse of Mandingo (Fear )
Who Are You
Cops Keep Firing

And that clip of Colors made it sound like a classic

Agreed, I think like a lot of nas songs you need to let it sink in to really appreciate it. This whole album is more like his songs where over time it's getting better. I was playing it over this weekend and I liked it more today then I did last year. It's going to be one of those albums that gets more appreciation as time goes on

Love this album. Started making me look at things different. Didn't this album get hated on though? Or am I wrong?
