Nasir Jones (born September 14, 1973), known simply as Nas, formerly Nasty Nas, is an American rapper from the East Coast. He is well known for his 1994 debut album Illmatic, which many consider to be one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. This album established Nas as one of hip-hop’s most profound lyricists, introducing his signature poetic style. Raised in the notorious Queensbridge housing projects in NYC, he represents a continuation of a hip-hop tradition in Queensbridge that has spanned through early hip-hop, including the Juice Crew, Marley Marl, and MC Shan.Following Illmatic with It Was Written, Nas pursued a more mainstream direction, which resulted in wider success but decreased artistic credibility among critics and hip-hop purists. Nas’ increased commercial success was accompanied by stylistic changes that fostered accusations of giving in to corporate wishes and compromising the style that had enamored his fans. Nevertheless, the album Stillmatic is often credited for restoring Nas’ credibility among fans. Since the success of Stillmatic, Nas has continued to maintain a high profile within the hip-hop community and has pursued a decidedly personal aesthetic.Columbia Records are set to release a compilation of rapper Nas’ Greatest Hits on November 6, 2007, which will go head to head against album dropping on the same day.
Nas’ album will feature twelve of Nas’ singles from his Columbia releases from Illmatic to Street’s Disciple and two new tracks. The collaboration made with Cee-Lo for the Rush Hour 3 soundtrack is expected to be included.Tracklist:01 04:44 Surviving The Times02 03:16 Less Than An Hour (Theme From Rush Hour 3)03 03:23 It Ain’t Hard To Tell04 03:30 Life’s A Bitch05 04:54 N.Y.
