39. Nas – 'Untitled' - So much was written about Nas’s album before its release (most of which centred on his decision to name it ‘Nigger’, before later dropping the title) that when it arrived in mid-summer it didn’t make the splash it deserved. A record that was powerfully of the moment (Nas even foresaw Barack Obama’s election victory on ‘Black President’), the album’s production helped showcase Nas’ best asset: his vividly raw and resonant voice. Certainly one for the years to come. [JG]
