Nas representing the leader and the chosen one. Doves and gold symbolising purity.bringing back the essence of hip hop. In the bible Noah was told to save 2 of each animal.Nas holds 2 doves with 2 pieces of gold on. Looking at the back of the cover, the Moses comparison is confirmed. Tracks like 'Destroy and Rebuild' show Nas' disgust with the state of hip hop. This symbolises the end of the bling era. He is shirtless with 2 pieces of gold jewlery. All the platinum he was wearing, the fly velour suit, is gone. Noah had to build Noah's arch to save the animals during the flood, Nas made this album. Looking at the God's Son cover, there is a flood in the background. Just as god sent Noah down to earth in desperate times to save Gods creations and start fresh.God's Son was sent down to save hip hop and start fresh. Jayz and his Crystal raps were coming to an end. That was the bling era when hip hop lost its essence. The dark clouds symbolise a storm is coming, particularly over NYC. In 2001 Nas was making a biblical reference with the Stillmatic cover. For now, we're still in the dark about what he's trying to say.but going back to the line he specifically said 'my next few albums' These 4 fingers are representing his previous 4 official studio albums (Illmatic, It was Written, Nastradamus, I Am).Ī pigeon stands next to him, looking right at him.

Pay attention to his right hand, hes got 4 fingers stretched out. The New york city skyline is in the background with dark clouds above, looking like theres about to be a bad storm. Nas has on every single piece of platinum jewlery he every bought, including the infamous QB piece.

It was all about singles, champagne, and jewlery. Rocafella and cash money had the game in a choke hold, the art was removed from hip hop. This freestyle dropped before Stillmatic was released, so lets take a look at the covers of the next couple albums and see what he's talking about.Ģ001 was the bling era. If you recall, Illmatic and It was written had QB in the background. There'll be a difficult test inside the cover for the mind's optics' 'My next few albums, instead of projects, You probably remember the stillmatic freestyle that sparked the whole beef.but let me shed some new light on it. I want to show you some real art that probably went right over your head. (Pac stans, before you start sending me hate mail just know that i love him too.but the outlawz said he took the concept from Nas in the 'making of makavelli' edition of the Source) 'I gave you power' a first in its own right, which was later jacked by Tupac when he made 'me and my girlfriend'. It Was Written back then was considered a sell out album, looking back now we can understand how ahead of his time he was. Nas was bringing the art into hip hop, but that was just the beginning. His lyrics had meaning, the quote above paints a picture of Nas blowing smoke into Medusa's mouth, vivid images. Seuss, simple rap days were officially over. 'I drink Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hellįrom the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell' That may have been the case til 1994, when Nas dropped Illmatic. Instead they called it a 'fad', they called emcees talentless, the music was meaningless. Album reviewLet's Pay Homage to a Real Artist: NAS (and his coded messages)įor years hip hop has been getting ****ted on, never being respected for the artform it is. See more Your browser does not support the audio element. Nas' rapping is superb as usual, but for the most part it's a wasted effort. For every emotional track like 'Some of Us Have Angels' or 'God Love Us,' there are the same old street-life anthems you'd expect to hear, like 'Shoot 'Em Up,' 'Come Get Me,' or 'You Owe Me.' They sound OK (thanks to production from L.E.S., DJ Premier, and Timbaland), but the result is yet another drawn-out hip-hop album that wanders aimlessly and never really says anything. It could have been an intriguing concept album, but Nastradamus is continually compromised by tracks that don't contribute to the theme. Buy the album Starting at $15.69įrom boy to man to king to prophet, Nas re-emerged six months after his third album with Nastradamus, a pre-millennial statement touching on the future, spirituality, and family - issues that Nas has broached before, though never with this much devotion.
