    But it's worse lyrically. it's a tie between between that and nastradamus for his weakest album to me.

    I dunno, I think he went in on some of those tracks. He blacked out on teh third verse of Hero for instance:
    Nas wrote:
    This universal apartheid
    I'm hog-tied, the corporate side
    Blocking y'all from going to stores and buying it
    First L.A. and Doug Morris was riding wit it
    But Newsweek article startled big wigs
    They said, Nas, why is he trying it?
    My lawyers only see the Billboard charts as winning
    Forgetting - Nas the only true rebel since the beginning
    Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow
    Try telling Bob Dylan, Bruce, or Billy Joel
    They can't sing what's in their soul
    So untitled it is
    I never change nothin'
    But people remember this
    If Nas can't say it, think about these talented kids
    With new ideas being told what they can and can't spit
    I can't sit and watch it
    So, sh! t, I'ma drop it
    Like it or not
    You ain't gotta cop it
    I'm a hustler in the studio
    Cups of Don Julio
    No matter what the CD called
    I'm unbeatable, y'all

    As a black man i dont wanna live in a racist society and endure racism from people who i have done nothing too.
    But i have to live.

    You still would like this album if you like hip hop. Nas never says "all whites". lol.

    Untitled is way better than Hip Hop Is Dead in my opinion, but it isn't a classic album at all. A very good album that did the topic at hand justice but nothing too groundbreaking.

    Barely average to me, Nas lyrically is at the top of his game, but those beats are mad boring.

    Nas is one of the greatest but Untitled? Nah, that album was too dry and had more than a few questionable tracks for it to be a Classic. Very good album? Sure.

    Very good.....yes.

    Great...of course.

    Classic? Ummm...nah.

    Not bad, though. Top 4.

    (N.I.G.G.E.R is the best track on album.)
