anyway.. I would like to add a slighly controversial album -Nas' Untitled
when he announced that he was going to name the album NIGGER.. I actually got excited..that word is the most infamous expletive in the history of the English language. Who better than Nas to infuse some knowledge into a language that the street dudes/dope boys could understand while entertaining and teaching the masses? That would have been great had it been Nas' agenda. Actually , that is Hiphopchiq1's perception of what Nas' album concept was. Nas never was able to clearly articulate the trajectory for this album. While he was promoting the album, I started to get mad, actually angry. In his interviews his arguements seemed disjointed and inarticulate. And to add insult to injury, the label sonned Nas' and renamed the album..I was officially done. I refused to buy or even listen to that album until last year. When I finaly listened to it, I loved it.Had he really been about his business ,it could've really been something. It could've prompted a real discussion about the current state of affairs in the Black community.
