专辑介绍
by Leo Stanley
For his second album, It Was Written, Nas hired a bunch of hip-hop's biggest producers -- including Dr. Dre, DJ Premier, Stretch, and Trackmasters -- to help him create the musical bed for his daring, groundbreaking rhymes. Although that rhyme style isn't as startling on It Was Written as it was on his debut, Illmatic, Nas has deepened his talents, creating a complex series of rhymes that not only flow, but manage to tell coherent stories as well. Furthermore, Nas often concentrates on creating vignettes about life in the ghetto that never are apolitical or ambivalent. This time around, the production is more detailed and elaborate, which gives the music a wider appeal. Sometimes this is a detriment -- Nas sounds better when he tries to keep it street-level -- but usually, his lyrical force cuts through the commercial sheen. Combined with the spare but deep grooves, his rhymes have a resonance unmatched by most of his mid-'90s contemporaries. Because, no matter how deep his lyrics are, his grooves are just as deep and those bottomless funk and spare beats are what make It Was Written so compulsively listenable.
热门评论
- @冰中之火：肥厚累赘的beats太减分，跳不出贫民hustle的话题，重复性的话题使人乏味。 Nas的技巧增进在于不过激得倾述，炫技性的内容少了，取而代之更自如轻松得掌控局面。但同时丧失了一种代入感，整张专辑更像普通的一张专辑，而非带有幻觉的“电影”。 叙事本身的技巧和深度是Nas的优势，而非依赖于beats的丰富。不同于声音本身具备煽动性的Tupac、DMC等人，Nas声音偏干且断句时间偏短，丰富的beats更突出这个问题，更raw更简洁的beats较适合Nas，易于引导听众集中于内容，就像好菜不放味精。
