Nas - Accidental Murderers
Artist: Nas
Featuring: Rick Ross
Producer: No I.D.
Album: Life is Good
Label: Ill Will/Def Jam
Nearly two decades ago Nas broke onto the hip-hop scene with New York State of Mind, one of the best storytelling raps the game had ever heard. Fast forward to 2012 and Nasir is returning to his roots with new single Accidental Murderer. Over a soulful beat from producer No I.D., Nas lays down the tale of a man who has only ended innocent lives. These aren’t stone cold killers, these are men bragging about tragic mistakes: “Act like you killed on purpose / you didn’t mean to murk him, your gun’s a virgin.” Add in a verse from Nas’ now frequent rhyme partner Rick Ross that, it must be pointed out, doesn’t contain a fraction of the storytelling ability, and you’ve got the perfect way to get heads even more hyped for the arrival of Nas’ Life Is Good studio album, due out July 17.

Nothing approaching classic territory or massive Twitter trending sessions, but another solid effort off an album I am really looking forward to hearing in full.

I agree with you Z... This is a dope track, but not the HUGE hit I was thinking it would be with these two on it. Still a strong track though. 3.5 out of 5

Yes, I also agree, while it's good, it's nothing amazing like what I've come to expect from Nas. Rick Ross loses points for not even sticking with the song's narrative. Never been a big Ross fan. Looking forward to Life Is Good.
