Damian's talent is best showcased on "Patience" with so many great lines such as "Pay no mind to the youth He has amazingly conscious lyrics that really make you think. Although he is considered reggae, he mostly attempts to rap on this album and I have to say that he is pretty damn good at it. Most of the tracks are about the problems in Africa and America as well.īut enough about Nas, let's talk about Damian.
This album definitely falls into the category of politically and socially conscious. He has done everything from street tales (Illmatic) to mafioso rap (It Was Written) to mainstream rap (Nastradamus) to politically and socially conscious rap (Stillmatic) and more personal and emotional rap (God's Son). Now, Nas can't be specifically placed into a certain genre of Hip Hop. Whether you're a Reggae fan or a Hip Hop fan, this album manages to not only please both audiences, but go far beyond expectations with some of the most intelligent and insightful lyrics I've heard in a long time. Now, I'm not going to get into why I feel this album is underrated but let me say that you should definitely not look over this one. Now, despite all the critical acclaim Nas has received during his career, I still can't help but feel he is still underrated at times. Here Nas and Damian Marley create a perfect blend of two very genres from two artists who appear as completely different, but turn out to be more similar than you'd think.
Review Summary: "This goes out to all the wisdom and knowledge seekers of the world."
