There are certain axioms dynamically influencing the surface level space to which I refer with regards to commercialised-media. Certainly we accept that Nas’s music and image exists here as well as stimulated by these axioms—such as the facts that we accept the commercialised aspect of this ‘media’ as relentlessly driven to the minds of youths with negative connotations. Such that we accept hip-hop and rap as phenomena associated with violence and sexual images. Yet, can we also accept that through Nas’s music and image(s), there is hope to overturn these systematic assaults on vernacular-forms of cultural expressions? Can the ‘Untitled’ album and the issues explored there be accepted into this space as well in terms of a Trojan-like virus? That the infused negativities of this expressive tool be utilised as the very element to overturn it?
