Aye, yo, Nas new article

Being More Accessible | TechCrunch

More than ever, entertainment is about self-promotion — using the power of your fans through social media to market live shows and new business ventures and move a few records. The direct connection to the fans is not just freeing artists from the old corporate structure; it’s redefining the relationship between creator and audience.

When piracy hit the entertainment industry, artists were distraught and began distrusting their own fan bases. In truth, it was a response borne from confusion rather than logic. The passion the fans had for what we were creating never went away; we just had to evolve to survive in the new digital world.

A huge aspect of that evolution is offering a glimpse into your lifestyle — being more accessible. The power that Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram offer is immense. Being an artist today is not only about being creative in what you produce, but finding creative ways to show people what you’re doing. Artists everywhere took notice when Louis C.K. sold his stand-up special and show tickets without a network backing him on the promotion and distribution. That truly was innovation at its best.

To me, that’s inspirational. That’s bringing things full circle and is the kind of independent triumph that will allow artists to create freely and reap the full benefit of their craft.

Nah, it's not even that. I know exactly what it is now. I do think a lot of LIG is just him telling his story, or recounting times, which I appreciate. But it's just that my ears have changed. You know Nas said on Locomotive, "This is for my trapped in the 90s nikkas." Songs like that and Queens Story, Reach Out, etc. I guess I just don't like that sound anymore or maybe I'm tired of shyt that sounds vintage 90s.

But Nas' bars have always been what makes him Nas. Once I got past that bias, I could just listen to the shyt he was spitting. Still slightly overrated in that I wouldn't mind if I never heard The Don or Summer On Smash ever again. But still the best hip hop album this year. Ross should've donated Nas a couple of those beats.
