Review of Nas – “Untitled”
After controversy over plans to title his new CD N***er (without the *'s) Nas's album comes out today and is now untitled. I understand why there was a controversy but I feel most of it was overblown. I'm not sure if Nas was just doing it as a publicity stunt or really wanted to make a statement with this album. After listening to it I'm inclined to think its the former (with a healthy ammount of publicity whoring going on).
From the start you can tell this is going to be a classic Nas album. It opens with the almost too short Queens gets the Money Where Mr.Jones raps over a soothing Jay Electronica beat.
The next song is "You Can't Stop Us Now" which has almost the same beat as the RZA song You Can't Stop Me Now Oddly enough the songs are from different producers. I actually like the RZA version better.
The first single off the album, Hero, is also the best. The Video is great and I'm glad that it is getting a decent amount of airplay. Over a great Polow da Don beat Nas raps with the the fire I felt has been missing in his last albums.
Other highlights on the album are Make The World Go Round with a great verse by the Game, Sly Fox where Nas rails against Fox News and other news outlets. ("I watch CBS and I see B.S.") Fried Chicken featuring Busta Rhymes, and Black President which uses a Tupac sample and makes me wonder if someone has played it for Obama yet.
A couple songs I was not feeling as much: Breathe and N.I.G.G.E.R. (The Slave and the Master) are both mediocre songs.
Verdict: 4.5/5 Overall a Great album. Classic Nas. Go Buy it.
Bonus: Sly Fox Video
Worst Album Cover Ever
I was reading this article about the worst Pen & Pixel album covers when I came across this gem. How many ways is this cover awesome?
Bears wearing purple hats/yarmukles: Check
Bear wearing some sweet shades: Check
Assorted fruits and nuts: Check
Also look at the bears in the background not only are they drinking some sort of wine/alcoholic beverages but they are drinking out of the biggest glasses I have ever seen and wearing what I imagine to be very comfortable robes.
I Never Knew a MILF Could be so FINEEEEE!!!! YEAHHH!
Lou Draws - Youngest MILF
"Hey Girl. Why you walking away? Oh, you think I don't wanna talk to you 'cuse of that stroller? Baby, I find it Sexy."
Does Lou Draws just hang out in parks? Does he spend all day on the park bench waiting for young mothers to come by pushing a stroller so he can serenade them? I sure hope so.
And he finds strollers sexy? That seems a little troubling no? I mean does he find them sexy in general or just when they are being pushed by young MILF's? I really hope it's the latter. I am becoming a fan of Lou Draws and I hope that he isn't one day discovered in the stroller aisle of a Babies "R" Us with his pants down.
Also, doesn't Lou seem a little too prepared for you? He already has the Similac (baby food) and "the baby diapers are sitting in the back" (of what? of the car? You took diapers to the park just in case? How often do you do this?). A little creepy.
Is Lou just really excited to be a father? Why does he want a MILF so much? It's obviously not an age thing since he likes the young ones. I wonder if he would be as attracted to the girl in the video if she wasn't pushing a stroller? I doubt it. Lou as a MILF fetish.
"I don't care about your baby's father, seems like he doesn't bother."
How so Lou? Just because she is walking the kid alone? Ever think that maybe he is at work? Or maybe he had a doctors appointment. I don't think it is reasonable to suggest that he does not bother with his child based on the fact that he isn't present for one walk. I little presumptuous I would say.
Overall great video with great clothes, dancing, and singing. Catchy as hell too.
Watch for when they break it down at the 2:55 mark. Definitely some of the best dancing you will see today.
