The Lineup: July ‘12
What I can’t live without: And of course N-A-S are the
letters that spell. Nas has
created his best and most complete album in over a decade. With production that manages to
simultaneously capture the essence of the classic “boom-bap” without
sounding dated, Nas was able to comfortably weave in his signature rhymes. In the past Nas struggled trying to
make “current” songs that didn’t fit his style. It’s one of those albums that remind me why I fell in love
with Hip-Hop in the first place.
This is truly a classic and a must have in the collection.
(Related: Cargo shorts. Pretty much wore them every day of the month.)
