NaS

So I walked into my friendly local Sonic Boom record store and of course the first thing I did was scan the new release shelf . There I found the new album from Nasir "Nas" Jones ( which was a pleasant surprise as I had forgotten the actual release date and have been greatly anticipating it ) ; the "Untitled" , "NaS" , or previously named "Nigger" album . I got it for a sweet deal of $11.99 plus tax and am now officially the proud owner of the NaS album . 

I've listened to it , and straight up , it's dope .

It's fresh , showing a slightly different , more evolved Nas from the " Illmatic " days , but still has the same originality and style . 

One of my favorite songs is " Sly Fox " , because not only is the lyrical content incredible , current and intelligent ,  but the song itself has great production . 

It talks about FOX news and addresses propaganda and politics in a really informed but clever way . His allusions and thinly veiled metaphors and double-meanings dominate the song and make it a really strong , provocative resonant piece . 

In it he states :

" Misinformation ,

Pimp the station ,

Over-stimulation ,

Reception

Deception

Comcast digital Satan

The Fox has a bushy tail

and Bush tells

Lies and Foxtrots

So I don't know what's real . "

Yeah , this shit is fuckin ill . 

I suggest you go to your local record store and cop . 

Because yeah , you could download it or buy it on iTunes , but we all know the best part of an album is opening the plastic case and flipping through the inside cover while listening to it all the way through . And come on , it's less than $20 of your hard-earned paper going to something that's well worth it . Trust me .
