Artist: Nas
Album: Untitled
Label: The Jones Experience/Def Jam

Just when you thought Nas‘ last album entitled “Hip Hop Is Dead” ruffled a couple feathers when the word got around that Mr. Nasir was naming his second album on Def Jam “Nigger” the controversy began. A couple months later the album title was changed but his message couldn’t be anymore clear after one listen to his official first single “Hero” featuring Keri Hilson and produced by Pollow Da Don. The album touches on topics your average artist would not dare speak on much less make a record about on “Nigger” and even answer back to the news channel Fox 5 on “Sly Fox”. But after “Testify” one of my personal favorite records outside of “Hero” Nas falls victim to a lack of good production once again which creates records such as “Black President” and “Make The World Go Round” featuring The Game and Chris Brown. Other highlights on the album are “Queens Get The Money”, “America” and “Fried Chicken” featuring Busta Rhymes.
