Reviews Customer Reviews for Nas      Very political      Rating:      This album is very political. If you are a liberal you will love this album but if your a repulican you will most likely find it offensive. Ben     Customer Reviews for Nas Cd      Nas Fights Fire WITH Fire      Rating:      What makes a patriot - his or her allegiance to the flag - the amount of tax money he or she pays - or his or her race? How do we prove our patriotism? Do we become patriots simply when we accept the tenets of so-called patriotism? True patriotism lives in the heart; patriotism is not pinned to the lapel or a hand salute. Nasir "Nas" Jones is a patriot; he challenges and fights against the adversary. More specifically, Nas fights against the men (and women) who run this country without considerations for the lower class or the middle class. Nas fights against those who would "shackle" those beneath them, white, black, brown, or yellow. Nas fights against these so-called patriots. Fighting patriotism is patriotic. And in America, which was founded on rebellion and revolution, fighting the government or the Man is a form of patriotism. Nas fights patriotism, but he uses his brains and his voice rather than a gun. Music, be it gangsta rap or Bob Dylan's folk tunes, challenges "The Man." Therefore, music is a form of protest. Music is patriotism. Nas fights fire with fire; he uses the voice of protest in order to fight against the slave masters in this country. Some may say he is unpatriotic or anti-American - this is nonsense! In our country, during this time in our history, fighting patriotism IS PATRIOTIC. This album is meant to give us hope. Nas drops wicked lyrics and knowledge over wicked beats. Fight the sly fox. Peace. Editorial Reviews for Nas Audio Cd      Album Description      Nas is back and more controversial than ever on his new untitled Def Jam release. On this, his 9th studio album, Nas studies and lyrically dissects some of the our most divisive issues: race, inequality, poverty, and power. And who better to stir up debate than the man most consider one of the top five emcees in the history of the game? From his brilliant 1994 debut Illmatic, to his mainstream success with It Was Written, to anthems like "Hate Me Now" and "One Mic" and his venomous lyricism on "Ether," Nas' ability to tell stories, educate, make you dance--and make you look--is the stuff of rap legend. The outspoken Queensbridge rapper has sold over 15 million albums worldwide over the course of his storied career. Nas' Def Jam debut, Hip-Hop Is Dead, was released in December 2006 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 with over 350,000 copies sold in its first week. Preparing now for the 2nd Def Jam release, Nas is ready to release his untitled album on July 15th.
