Nas - Untitled (leak)

[JamSix]

01. Queens Get The Money (Produced by Jay Electronica)

Great opener, Esco drops some intellectual shit over some smooth keys, no drum beat. 4/5

02. You Can’t Stop Us Now (feat. Eban Thomas of The Stylistics & The Last Poets) (Produced by Salaam Remi)

Straight fire, cant really say much about the beat, chances are if you're a hip hop head you would have heard the sample atleast once. shits all over RZA's version (the chamber stans aint gonna like this one). 4.5/5

03. Breathe (Produced by J. Myers & Dustin Moore)

Some smooth shit, beat gets annoying pretty quickly, as always Nas spits some nice shit over it. 3/5

04. Make The World Go Round (feat. Chris Brown & The Game) (Co-produced by Cool & Dre & The Game)

Everyones gonna have mixed opinions on this one, if your one of those only into 90's sounding dudes, your not gonna like this one. Game delivers pretty well but its pretty clear that Esco dumbied him on this one. 3/5

05. Hero (feat. Keri Hilson) (Produced by Polow Da Don)

Excellence, this is some hype shit, Polow hooked Nasty up with a sick beat on this one. Esco drops some of the realest shit hes said in a minute on this one, just peep this.

Forgetting - Nas the only true rebel since the beginning
Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow
Try telling Bob Dylan, Bruce, or Billy Joel
They can't sing what's in their soul
So untitled it is
I never change nothin'
But people remember this
If Nas can't say it, think about these talented kids
With new ideas being told what they can and can't spit
I can't sit and watch it
So, sh!t, I'ma drop it
Like it or not
You ain't gotta cop it
I'm a hustler in the studio
Cups of Don Julio
No matter what the CD called
I'm unbeatable, y'all

4.5/5

06. America (Produced by Stargate)

Another banger, dude sounds hungry as fuck on this one, you can tell he switches up his voice for this to make the delivery extra cold. BEat is mad smooth too, im likin the vocals from that chick.

4.5/5

07. Sly Fox (Produced by stic.man of Dead Prez)

This shit thumps HAAAARD, stic.man pulled through, another hype ass track makes me wanna get wild. Esco's flow has shaped up a little bit for this, dudes on some Dead Prez shit. 4/5

08. Testify (Produced by Mark Batson)

Mood changes up a bit here and the CD's slowed down a notch, esco switches to a lazy flow thats really easy to follow and listen too. doesnt stand out too much too me. 3/5

09. N.I.G.G.E.R. (The Slave And The Master) (Produced by DJ Toomp)

Beat for the most part is nice, drums could use some major work, tinny ass snare/clap shit.
lyrics come through right again, track flows real nice, esco shows that he still got it for sure. 4/5


10. Untitled / Louis Farrakhan (Produced by stic.man of Dead Prez)

this ones mad nice, tempos sped up a bit for this one, stic.man pulls through yet again. doesnt exactly stick out but still for sure a nice joint. 3.5/5

11. Fried Chicken (feat. Busta Rhymes) (Produced by Mark Ronson)

This ones absolute beauty, I dunno who this Mark Ronson cat is but damn homie can make a mean beat. The worldplay from both nas & busta is just fantastic, keep your ears open on this one and your gonna catch up on some sick darts. 4.5/5

12. Project Roach (feat. The Last Poets) (Produced by Eric Hudson)

Practically a skit, not much to be said here, features a short verse from esco. not gonna rate this one

13. Ya’ll My Niggas (Produced by J. Myers)

Another banger, the beat builds up mad nice, gets a little repetative towards the end though. Hook is especially nice, that wooshy synth solo. As expected Nas just breathes fire over this (dunno how many times Ive repeated this). 4/5

14. We’re Not Alone (feat. Mykel) (Produced by stic.man of Dead Prez)

This track is deep, stic.mans on a roll here, 3 solid bangers, brings his signature jazzy keys on this one. Dude singings got a nice voice and is mad easy to listen too, Esco treats this one well. Rating would be a bit higher with a little less singing 3.5/5

b15. Black President (feat. Johnny Polygon) (Produced by DJ Green Lantern)

Meh, im really not feelin this one, beat sounds like some Fruity Loops version 2 shit, snares are just really tinny and fake sounding. as usual nas delivers. Your opinion may severly differ than mine but Im just not feelin this one. 2.5/5

Overall: 53/70 - 7.5/10

Im gonna call this one level with It Was Written & Stillmatic, Ill definately be bumpin this one for a while. Nasty is relevant once again!

[Mic Tyson]

thanks for the review, but if its on the same level with it was written why is it only a 7.5?

[JamSix]

My review is broken down into track by track, even a couple poor songs can affect the average quite severly and then there are tracks on here that are easily some of Nasty's best. Another reason this album is so good is its timing and relevance, shit couldnt have come at a better time.

[sarr]

Gods Son in my oppinion was a 8.5/10

I love this album...i gave it an 8/10

But im suprised some people dont like "make the world go round"

that song is bangin...just has a real feel good vibe to it

i second that

[INF]

the guitars on sly fox could went harder. shit sounds corny. still a good album though. I'll vote after some more spins.

[whitey]

surprising me so far. actually pretty decent. better than the past couple for sure.

[INF]

I take back what I said about Sly Fox. I heard it again today and that shit is hard.

[djskillz]

At the moment it's a 7 for me but if the replay value is good then I'll bump it up to an 8. So far I haven't skipped a track while playing.

[RynMur]

Your poll is fucked

[GhettoGnom]

Sly Fox is straight BANGIN

8/10

[Dominus Santorini]

I bumped it nonstop when I first copped it

and...

Thanks to Nas' new album I have 1,000 posts

[Focus Man]

i only listened to it a few times and i luv it. i can tell this album has a lot of replay value and will eventually go down as a classic. I'm hella suprised at how good this album is. It got everything from soft shit, pump up shit, deep shit, poetic shit, political shit, rnb shit....its THA SHIT basically.

[INF]

I just felt the need to skip from the middle of "Breath" to "Sly Fox"......that sucks.


Sly fox is one of my favorite tracks now , second to Project Roach and Untitled.


BEST TRACK ON THE ALBUM IS TESTIFY.

[SHEEPISH LORD OF CHAOS]

I'm a say tracks i think are the best are:
Testify
Sly Fox
Untitled
Breathe
You Can't Stop Me Now
Black President
