Can you believe 10 years have passed since Nas released the classic "Stillmatic" album! The same album that released one of Hip-Hop's most memorable battle song, "Ether." The battle between Hova and Nas will go down as one of the best in our culture.Nas always went against the grain. With his music, and his fashion, the Queensbridge legend was ahead of his time. At one point, the self-proclaimed "Nike head" switched over to Fila, a well-known Italian sneaker that became popular among hustlers in the 80's. Nas inked a deal with the European sneaker company back in 2007, and Fila endorsed Nas' campaign during the "Nigger/Untitled" album run.
December 18th marks 10 years, and when I look at what Nas has done and the musical legacy he's given to our culture, he is "STILLmatic".
