NaS - The Nigger Tape [Mixtape] - Review

Released June 2008
Downloaded from NaS or DJ GL Website [Promotional]
Summary: Pre-Album Mixtape
Comment: As I understand it, the original songs on this mixtape are tracks that didn't make the "Untitled" album. I think Nas made the right choice leaving them out. Thematically, they fit, but the beats aren't up to par (somebody please remix Cop Keep Firing). "Be A Nigger Too" remix doesn't work for me at all. The highlight has to be Black President and there are some other decent highlights.
Rating: No Grade (NaS Super-Fans Only)
