Its not very popular to compare Nas’ later stuff favorably with his modern classics. Illmatic, It Was Written, Stillmatic. No doubt, classics all. But God’s son? Hip Hop is Dead? Have you heard Get Down on God’s Son? The title track from Hip Hop is Dead? Really underrated. Why a few years out of the Jay-Z/Nas feuds does J seem to have come out on top of this whole thing? (Maybe Nas signing with Jay-Z’s def jam label?…). Does anyone else feel like Nas’ recent stuff has been really, really good (read: better)?
To push this point further, Nas has leaked a bunch of singles from his new album. The track “Hero” dropped late last week. Ummm, its pretty ridiculous. That background guitar in the 3rd verse… D/L it here.
