Holy shit, Nas' new album is great

I know "Sly Fox" has been mentioned around here a few times, the song about Fox News/the media. Good song, bu only the tip of the iceberg. This shit goes deep.

Assassinations
Diplomatic relations
Killed indigenous people
Built a new nation
Involuntary labor
Took a knife split a woman's naval
Took her premature baby
Let her man see you rape her
If I could travel to the 1700's
I'd push a wheelbarrow full of dynamite
Through your covenant
Love to sit in on the Senate
And tell the whole government
Y'all don't treat women fair
She read about herself in the bible
Believing she the reason sin is here
You played her, with an apron
Like, "Bring me my dinner, dear."
She the nigger here

Those are some powerful lyrics.

He's got a pretty amazing gf (or are they married now?). I wonder how much she has influenced his perspective.

4. I wish ALL rappers would STFU!!!

Because I don't like what some of them say sometimes in some songs on some albums.
