NAS与哈佛诗教授分解了“不难说”

经过特里·希克（Terry Heick）

1994年4月，皇后艺术家NAS发行了有史以来最具标志性的嘻哈专辑之一。

‘Illmatic’ contained 10 tracks, including ‘One Love,’ ‘Halftime,’ ‘Memory Lane,’ and ‘NY State of Mind.’ With legendary producers like Large Professor, Pete Rock, Q-Tip (from A Tribe Called Quest), and of course DJ Premier, the album instantly captured what had emerged as a then-modern east coast hip-hop sound.

NAS可以通过易于记住的钩子和文字播放易于可视化的真实小插曲的出色才能，从而使专辑Instant-Classic身份具有。

Working with producers like Large Professor, who had helped establish the east coast scene and sound, there was a tension between Illmatic’s aesthetic and the booming west coast p-funk infused, ‘gangster rap’ which was perfected in Dre’s ‘The Chronic’ released in 1992.

The video above explored ‘It Ain’t Hard To Tell,’ a track full of ranging similes and metaphors delivered with a pace that required 50+ plays before you could begin to appreciate it all, and even then only ‘getting it’ insofar as you realized you’d never entirely grasp the place the rhymes were written from.

美国有一门（$ 499）的哈佛大学诗歌课程，听起来与我10年前在肯塔基州乡村教授的课程特别相似，但常春藤联盟学术界这些天不要便宜。
