Bring back Arsenio.

That album has its low points, but You Can't Stop Us, Testify, Slave and Master, Untitled, Y'all My nikkas :wow:

Testify and We are Not Alone were :manny: to me but I think that Who Are You and Colors belonged on that alum and would've made it even more classic.

Testify drew the line in the sand. We are Not Alone could've been replaced with anyone of those other song that was unreleased or from The ****** Tape. Someone had a blended version of ****** Haterd with Queens Get The Money :banderas:

Rapper Nas: Not Good for U.S. to ‘Look Like Apartheid South Africa’
by Josh Feldman | 6:48 pm, December 17th, 2014

Nas, one of the most popular hip hop artists in the country, opened up in a Time Magazine interview out today about recent race issues in the U.S., remarking that “it’s not cool to look like apartheid South Africa.”
He said that with all the protests going on over the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, the rest of America can finally see “something that’s always been going on.” Nas remarked, “It’s not cool to look like apartheid South Africa.”
He also opined on the history of black life in the United States, saying that “a lot of whites are very ignorant with American history” and now is the time for “a lot of healing.”

Most of this is fodder for conscious rapper tracks but Nas and maybe Common can truly pull it off. Would love to see Nas refer to the racial events above and reference the fact that he spoke of it on the Untitled album,

Aint it funny how people felt like Hip Hop is Dead and Untitled were considered publicity stunts and unfocused ideas (debatable) and yet given everything that's been going on the last couple of years with white artists appropriating black hip hop culture but not being true to it and the relationship between black folks and the white police and white media in general as well as the overall idea of cultural appropriation being in the mainstream, one could argue those are albums that could be re-interpreted now and some of the songs are specifically relevant (Breathe, Slave and the Master, Sly Fox, Cant Stop Us Now, Y'all my nikkas, Where not alone,Who Killed it, Hope, Let There Be Light)

I fukks with Make the World go Round, but think it fits better as a bonus track. It fits perfect after Black President, it's more of a celebration track.

I'm ready for complex mag or rolling stone to do an article in the fact that the content from HHID and Untitled are very relevant these days. I would love to hear their analysis. I bet these sort of articles will eventually appear. Then love going back and proving that NaS is Nastradamas
