Nas (Untitled)
CD (Item 509566) Def Jam, 2008 — Condition: Used
Nas's controversial N-word LP – N- for Nas, that is – his 9th album and an occasionally strong set of straight up lyrical domination from one of the greatest MCs in the history of hip hop. The late 00s find Nas in a strange holding pattern in which his album titles (both the used and rejected ones) become news headlines – but beneath all the hype is some decent, if uneven material. Tracks include "Queens Get The Money", "You Can't Stop Us Now", "feat Eban Thomas of the Stylistics and Last Poets, "Project Roach" feat Last Poets, "America", "Make The World Go Round" feat Chris Brown & The Game, "America", "Sly Fox", the almost title track "Ni**er (The Slave And The Master)", "Fried Chicken" feat Busta Rhymes, "Black President" and more. © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
Used CD Grade
We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.
When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.
All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
