Album Reviews: Nas - Untitled (Who gives a f**k)

Like movie reviews, album reviews are the opinion of 1 person/corporation that actually hold no weight whatsoever. They are of no use at all. 

When it comes to hip-hop album reviews in particular, it seems 'journalists' enjoy the freedom provided by a noticeable drop in the degree of fact checking. Creating lazy articles and allowing their personal prejudice towards an artist or genre shine through with sweeping statements and dismissive remarks. 

Again this was confirmed when reading the absurd reviews of Nas' new 'Untitled' album. Heres a few low lights (click on source to read full review if you must)

Pitchfork: But now, how is Nas going to come off like he intended Untitled to be an unflinching look at race relations and yet somehow leave off the track he did with stic.man? Rating: 3.8

Okay, first of all, stic.man produced 2 tracks on the album so they already f****d up there. Just a hint of the lack of knowledge displayed throughout the article. (They also gave the new Three 6 Mafia album a rating of 6.8)

NyTimes: Nas is the least musical of the great rappers, with little sense of melody and little flexibility in rhythm and cadence. 

This is just complete bullshit beyond belief. 

LaTimes: "Untitled," due out Tuesday, is Nas' blatant attempt to lob a Molotov cocktail at both the chattering classes and the streets in an attempt to simultaneously reclaim his spot as one of rap's finest and shift a million units.

Again, completely misunderstanding the artist and what he's about. Reclaim? Lol. Any 1 verse from Nas can be better than the entire career of most rappers. After 17 years in music you think now he gives a sh*t about selling a million records!
