Audio. Nas Looking Back.
Audio. Nas Looking Back: The other day I was in line at a store and overheard the following conversation between a 14 year old boy and his younger sister: "Sis! Look at what I just got from FYE. It's Nas' first album." The girl replies, "So!" He responds, "So! Are you crazy!? This is one of the best albums of all time." She responds with nonapproval, "How could it be? It only has 10 songs." He immediately puts the cd back in his bag and says, "You don't know anything!"
I love that conversation. It gives us hope that a few younger folks are still reaching into the heyday of hip-hop beyond what the mainstream is feeding them. Was this an outlier? Possibly. We realize that all things change, but it's nice to know that the spectrum of an art-form isn't being forgotten. So from then to now, check out Nas' latest single, Where Y'all At. Although the track is mild in excitement, it still gets the job done. Photo Credit Bakinakwa*
