Though Nas’ Untitled album came out over a month ago, it has still been a topic of discussion that goes beyond music. Speaking on Tavis Smiley’s PBS show, Nas explained his intentions with the album, as well as an American media that could be flipped upside down.
Knowing that his title was controversial from the get go, Nas was adamant about the need to push something that he believed in, much like legendary artists before his time. “It's important to roll the dice. Anything in life, it's important to roll the dice. You've got to challenge yourself all the time…The artists I used to love took chances, from Marvin to John Lennon to even Hendrix.” Nas continued, “When you first get in the music business you're excited to be there, [and] you want to make records that everybody's loving. But after you got years in the game, you want to give people the real side of you, show people some character, and that's the stage I'm at right now.”
