Nas- Untitled Appreciation Thread

[madness]

bumped this album from the summer of 08 when it dropped all the way until election time that november...powerful album that probably won't get its just due until nas is dead and gone...they're gonna look back at this masterpiece and be like

 

[Rivoli]

classic album, decades from now it will be recognized as one of the best of this period..

 

[posterchild336]

just listened to this album today..has some good tracks..not his best album but has some original, creative tracks..as usual from nas

 

[ReasonableMatic]

First time I ever heard something from Jay Electronica..


Untitled was a dope album, Nas went in

 

[Piff Perkins]

Some brilliance mixed with some average shyt mixed with some good shyt.

 

[The_Hillsta]

ahhhhh Nas's Def Jam era... How I loathe and are also intrigued by this focal point in his career.

Untitled has that aura like it was scaled back from its monumental impact it was supposed/hyped up to have. Songs such as the following one should have never been left off the album:

Association-Nas feat. Stic Man (No DJ) - YouTube

I think this will be an album that will be appreciated in hindsight.

[The song with Chris Brown was trash!]

Was gonna post this cut. This Nas album STAY in rotation

 

[thaKEAF]

His best album since God's Son.

 

[tybo]

fukk it...I gonna go ahead and say it...Untitled is a CLASSIC!!!!

 

[iPod Raheem 2.0]

How many of y'all renamed the album ******?

This thread may make me revisit the album. Never really gave the album a genuine listen and I'm a huge NaS fan. at myself. I always felt mixed about what I heard, though. My expectations were too high and I was on my A&R bullshyt so I was ultimately disappointed with the album.

Loved Queens Get the Money, You Can't Stop Us Now, Hero, America (unreleased version), Sly Fox, and Testify.


No matter what, I'll probably always think he left some gold off this album. Should've been a blend with The ****** Tape. Cops Keep Firing >>>

Man, I've had this conversation with people so many times over. I feel like a lot of people just didn't get it. I really appreciate the album even more knowing the climate (politically/financially/etc) it was released in. It was an intense time in this country.

 

[Super Cheech]

This album took a while to grow on me.

DOPE fukkING ALBUM.

Maybe I need to go back and listen again but I really did try to give that album a chance. I just couldnt get into it. Just a handful of songs worth keeping

 

[H.S.]

I didn't think the song with Chris Brown was bad at all. Pretty dope actually. I'm convinced 98% of this forum can't dance.

Breathe, Queens get the Money, and Hero are my top songs, but I'm feeling Black President more on the Green Lantern Mixtape than on the album. Nas does it again. Life is Good coming July 17th
