Summary: a mature CD
Comment: every song on this city is well written. the ideas are creative and new and i blieve this album to be a movement within itself. Nas finaly dedicated a whole album to the "good fight". this CD represents the gif Hip-Hop been asking for, but i wont be suprise that if it get overlooked. fans seem to want what they like in an artist and cannot except the fact that every artist serve their own perpouse also. Nas keep doing you god!!

Summary: Hip Hop Review #4; Are You Serious?
Comment: In the words of Flavor Flav, Woowwwwwwwwwww. I must be dreaming this can't be true, just kidding Nas never lets me down. I knew he was going to come on strong, especially with the name he was going to use for the album, I knew he wasn't going to put that word up for just nothing. This is a real collectors item right here. I often say that hip hop is now dead, but when MC's like Nas come out with albums like this, I say there must be a few breaths left in it. I was amazed people was putting this album down without picking it up and actually listening to it.
My favorite songs on the album includes, You Can't Stop Us Now, Hero, America, Sly Fox, N.I.*.*.E.R, Y'all My Niggas, and Black President. I want to start off with saying I loved that Nas made the song Sly Fox. I am intrigued that he made this song. I remember back when, I was telling my family and friends that Fox is a prejudice network, and I remember them disagreeing with me thinking I was wrong or I had something against them. But when you hear the same stupidity on the network about Barack Obama is muslim, after he said he wasn't 20 times, and how Bill O'Reilly went to Sylvia's restaurant and ranted about the problems with black culture, something must be going on with fox. But any who. My next favorite was You Can't Stop Us Now, beautiful beat with a flow to back it up, the song was about how African American culture has came from to what it is now, a very true and amazing song. Nas' track America expresses the wrong American image we have today. "This old German said I was a thug with a notty head Looked at my Benz and called that a Nazi sled With a face like he wondered where I got my bread Probably all these stones he see From my shows overseas."

Real classic, please get this album, could be a long time before an album like this come out again. Thank You.

Comment: This album is very political. If you are a liberal you will love this album but if your a repulican you will most likely find it offensive.

Summary: Nas Fights Fire WITH Fire
Comment: What makes a patriot - his or her allegiance to the flag - the amount of tax money he or she pays - or his or her race? How do we prove our patriotism? Do we become patriots simply when we accept the tenets of so-called patriotism? True patriotism lives in the heart; patriotism is not pinned to the lapel or a hand salute.

Nasir "Nas" Jones is a patriot; he challenges and fights against the adversary. More specifically, Nas fights against the men (and women) who run this country without considerations for the lower class or the middle class. Nas fights against those who would "shackle" those beneath them, white, black, brown, or yellow. Nas fights against these so-called patriots.

Fighting patriotism is patriotic. And in America, which was founded on rebellion and revolution, fighting the government or the Man is a form of patriotism. Nas fights patriotism, but he uses his brains and his voice rather than a gun. Music, be it gangsta rap or Bob Dylan's folk tunes, challenges "The Man." Therefore, music is a form of protest. Music is patriotism.

Nas fights fire with fire; he uses the voice of protest in order to fight against the slave masters in this country. Some may say he is unpatriotic or anti-American - this is nonsense! In our country, during this time in our history, fighting patriotism IS PATRIOTIC.

This album is meant to give us hope. Nas drops wicked lyrics and knowledge over wicked beats.

Fight the sly fox. Peace.
