DJ 31 Degreez has obtained all the unreleased material from Nas’ last album, including this gem “The Fear Of Mandingo” b.k.a. as “Fear Of The Black Man’s D!ck.” Pause. They kinda do look scared don’t they?

I remember there was speculation if this track even existed, given the fact the nameless album seemed to lighten up on the incendiaries it first promised to have.

Is it a safe assumption that Cee-Lo was more persuasive in getting his ethnic points across in one verse than Nas was in an entire album?

Better believe that Slick…

In what was possibly the most responsible abuse of the word “nigga” ever witnessed in a song, (Lo dropped approximately 30 N-bombs in under 3 minutes), the prelude for Goodie Mo-B’s sophomore stride served not only as an immediate attention grabber, but as an internal analysis of one of the most controversial words this world has ever encountered.

It’s usually never a good idea to tell the world the impact your album will make before it’s released, let alone even made. Nevertheless, Nas has made a habit of this dating back to 2006 when he originally wanted to call his album Nigga, before giving in to Def Jam brass and settling on Hip Hop Is Dead. Never one to back down, Nas went right back in the studio to work on what else? Nigger. Wanting to create awareness and conversation on the word, yet this time the label seemed to be on board —until it was announced the album would go untitled and people began hollering publicity stunt. Is Nas a sell out for changing the title or did he stick to his intended vision by leaving the album nameless? While that issue may never be resolved, Nas is partly successful in delivering what he set out to do. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s the 4th of July, and like most of the Hip-Hop community, part of this holiday weekend will be spent digesting Nas’ new album Nigg…err….Untitled. Yeah that’s it. Regardless if you feel it’s a total classic or classic feces, chances are the music will be synonymous with this time of year for a good portion of your lives.

As these United States celebrate their independence for the 232nd time, Mr.
N.igga A.gainst S.ociety candidly exhibited a declaration of his own on the bluntly-titled “America.” But if you’re expecting the rap version of “America The Beautiful” , obviously you don’t know Nasir. Squeezed in between the electrifying “Hero” and ethering of conservative T.V. on “Sly Fox,” one might be tempted to skip the Read the rest of this entry »

And since he’s excited about the leak, we feel more than obliged to help him celebrate it! The Roll Call party started last night but you should still be good.

You should still find it within your conscious & your pockets to purchase a copy when it drops.

For someone who’s album been pushed back two weeks, Nas sure has been flooding the street with new material. Four* FIVE SIX SEVEN (WTF) more tracks leaked today on what would’ve been the original release date for Untitled. Hopefully he’s holding something back in the war chest.

You know the deal…. Listen & discuss, speculate & anticipate.

Nas – “Breathe”

Nas – “Queens Get The Money”

Nas Feat. Eban Thomas –”You Can’t Stop Us Now”

Nas Feat. Mykel – “We’re Not Alone”

Nas – “Testify”

Nas – “America”

Nas Feat. The Game & Chris Brown – “Make The World Go Round”

***U knew it was coming…

The song @ the intro of the “Be A Nigger Too” video?

Nas – Nigger Hatred

Looks like I was wrong in saying Nas (or maybe just Def Jam) doesn’t care about radio success.

Along with pushing back the Untitled album two weeks, Nas quietly dropped “Hero” featuring Keri Hilson. Proving that all heroes don’t have superpowers, Mr. Jones reminds us that sometimes just making that transition from the streets to a regular 9 – 5 qualifies you for the title. Every hero needs a theme song and Polow Da Don gives him does just as he leaves Garageband alone for a second as he give Nas a spaced-out, yet commercially viable backdrop for Nas to bring hope to the masses.
