I used to bump dude religiously....but these days I just can't get into sons music or image at all. It seems like he doesn't stand for anything. Dun is all over the map. From RD to AG...Jay is Jay, Ye is Ye, DMX is DMX, BIG was BIG, Pun was Pun, Kiss is Kiss. etc....
Who is the real Nas?
I was hypnotizde by the intellectual, poetic hoodlum that dropped jewels on Illmatic and Stillmatic. The emotional risk-taker on Gods Son was raw as @#%$ too...but other than that dude is an enigma. Is he a murderous Mafiosi? A Muslim insurgent? A tarrot card reader? Who is this cat? Dude is really starting to bore me.
HHID was a complete mess to me, except for 5 or so stand out tracks....joint was buns. That skit on HHID before "Not going back" with him and Kelis doing an imaginary drive-by, was the straw that broke the camels back. Dun is starting to ooze corniness IMO.
Most importantly his music just ain't appealing to me no more. I def don't think an artist should stay boxed in to one kind of music, but son hasn't really evolved as much as he has flipped. That melodic/poetic lyricism seems like it vanished too. His flow seems forced, his wordplay less fluid. I don't know what hes talkin about half the time...."Like Mike Jacks ATU part Mattola can't touch"...If he was predominately lyrical and conscious (like Com)....I think he would be the hands down GOAT. "What the fans want is Illmatic still."
I have always been pulling for homie, but if this next album is more of the same, I can officialy say that I have outgrown his gibberish.
