Nas is one of the illest lyricists in the history of hip hop. He has nine albums of raw material to back up that claim. In 2006, Nas made a shocking statement to the hip hop community — the creator of Illmatic, widely considered the greatest hip hop album of all time — said that hip hop was dead. Emcees scurried to even agree with Nas or prove why he was wrong. It’s been 2 years and Nas wanted to shock an even broader audience. This time around Nas goes after mainstream American with full momentum. The New York artist, tackles some of the most challenging topics of our time and reflects on hard times in the past. Nas takes on poverty, mainstream media, slavery, politics, war and electing the first black presidential candidate. The album will not leave behind the Illmatic legacy, but it will leave a legacy of its own.
