VIDEO: Nas – Daughters

Grown man shit. Heartfelt song unafraid to touch upon relevant, personal issues without posturing. Nas doesn’t shift the blame from himself and infuses the track with emotion without getting needlessly sappy. The visuals add another welcome layer to the track and the camera shift towards miss Destiny Jones in the end is perfect. Simple idea, great execution. This is what hip-hop needs more of.

1982 was when Jaap van der Doelen aka J.Monkey shot his way out his mom dukes. A mere two years later he was already battling Big Brother and The Illuminati. Whenever he has time to spare from those efforts he writes (about music, mostly), hosts a radio show and designs graphics for a living. He lives in The Netherlands where he continues to be winning.
