When Nas took chances it never worked for him. Why? I mean, "You Owe Me", "You Want See Me Tonight", Untitled LP, Hip Hop is Dead LP and other "Against The Grain" attempts to make a statement. It seem like he always fall a little short unless he make his RAW Nasty Nas songs that we all seem to love. His commercial attempts or "concept" LP's always seem to not be accepted. Now, Nas is my favorite MC but it appears taking chances never jump off for him....or do they in your opinion?
