Illmatic
Nas |
Illmatic marks the debut
of New York Street poet Nas. We also see the first (of many) aliases
for the rapper, known as Nasty Nas. Nas brings out the rawest form
of hip-hop in this east coast effort, as he tries desperately to establish
himself as witty street rapper. Nas while a solid rapper (as we will
find out in albums to come) fails in illmatic, badly! This
album, which is pitifully small, holds absolutely no hits. “Life’s
a Bitch" is great song but not a hit by a long shot. Nas
does not blow anyone away with his rapping skill either, he tries
to hard and it just comes off as average to slightly below average
skill. In other words “reg”....Continue |

It is clear that most people
who have read Sloppy Joe's review of this
album, have taken the entire staff of 10rc to be fools. I just
want to remind all that our reviews are our own personal opinions
we each have no control over what the other say. That being said I
would like to whole heartily agree with many of the statements that
you have written in with about this album. Strait up this is one
of the best albums ever put to wax.....Continue |

It

Nas |
"I'm tired of these
niggas, niggas stealing beats" This comes off of Nas's sophomore

is Coming". This is laughable to point of unconsciousness.
Nas complaining about people stealing beats is ironic since he is
proven guilty of violating this rap commandment on his album. This
is however more funny and trivial than a detraction....Continue |

As a general rule, I fucking
hate Nas. I find his 'brilliant' lyrics to be overrated. I find his
rapping devoid of a sound that I like. I really don't see why Nas
is such a revered rapper. I think a lot of his lyrics are contrived
and clumsy. Nonetheless, the 10rd review bandwagon must go on so in
I popped It Was Written.....Continue |

Nastradamas
Nas |
Nastradamas is Nas's
fourth album, and he has changed quite a bit since his first effort
way back in 1994. Nas has been a leader in East coast rap since the
beginnings of raps accent into the mainstream. While Nas was a leader
of Hip Hop accent to the mainstream, he also has changed over time
to fit better in with the mainstream. Nastradamas is a strange
mixture of old and new Nas....Continue |
