"The question is .....Is Nas still relevant ?
His last good album was Illmatic . "


Lol. Nas has already cemented his place among the pantheon of the greatest emcees to ever grace the mic. Invested with an uncommon complexity and candor, Nas will always be relevant, and his music will always be remembered. To claim that his last decent album was Illmatic - reeks of ignorance, stupidity, and unawareness. He is to be judged solely on the quality of his release, not the title of it.

This has been done before. It was a book that caused the chatter.
''Nigger,'' by Randall Kennedy, an African-American scholar at Harvard Law School.

Maybe NAS should have taken some notes from this article.

Don't buy this album - if he wants to raise the issue fine. First amendment at work, but let's not fund it or let him profit from it. Unless 100% of profits are going to fund public dialog and education about the meaning of the "word".

My "NIGGA" is at it again, school is back in session. Nas keep doing what you do. I know ppl are gong to only here the "nigger" "word". ppl now a days only here music they dont listen. That's y hip hop is where it is. I love to read through the line and figure the martix out. "Be a Nigger it may set you free"
O and Obama isn't me by no means, the government don't give a fuck about you, me , us or them, they give a fuck about the green. How can we run with a government thats seems like they want to leave us behind. listen, the lines may sound a little different.

If that is the case ...then Nas is a fool . As an elder statesman of Hip Hop ...... he should be veering away from such thought .
The question is .....Is Nas still relevant ? I think not . His last good album was Illmatic . Sorry Nas . I have had the opportunity to listen to your work extensively . Your messages are poor .... you sound secular . The world is bigger than NY.
You are a witness to the greatest story unfolding ... Obama, win or lose ,embrace the spirit and run with it .
The politics of today is different ....
The enemy is different .... he is you , me,us and ours .
Your message should uplift the the young generation ... not the lost .
And by calling the album ....N...... You would have failed us .Irrespective of your validation . Take us forwrd .
