Editorial Review from Album Description:
Along with group leader Esham's numerous solo albums, NATAS' work has trailblazed a path through uncharted territory, defining a dark style of hardcore rap characterized by decadence and heavy metal-like aggression. Taking considerable influences from Niggaz 4 Life-era NWA, the Detroit, MI trio consisting of Esham, Mastamind and TNT come hard on their new album, "N Of Tha World," exciting their cult audience, who are fascinated with their anarchic disposition and their self-termed style of "Acid Rap."

  "I Wouldn't Go To Sleep, Cause It's the End of Tha World!", 2006-06-06
Natas (rap trio consisting of long-time Detroit legend Esham, Mastamind, and TNT) are finally back with their first album since "Godlike". Their past releases include "Doubelievengod", "Life After Death", "[..] (Wicket World Wide)", "Multikillionaire: The Devil's Contract", "Blaz4me", and "Godlike". It's safe to say that Natas's new one does not disappoint at all. They're known for fusing hardcore rhymes and rock beats together to create a sound that Esham made himself: acid rap. Other reviewers have said it best. Both Esham and TNT shine on this record. Minus just one or two tracks, this album has good track after good track on it. Just what you come to expect from Esham and Natas.
br /
br /The only real complaint that has come from many fans is the fact that Mastamind only appears on one cut, because he's decided to go solo (surprisingly enough he still appears in the booklet like he contributed alot to the album). This isn't a problem for Esham and TNT come through and Mastamind's absence doesn't make a difference. The opening track "Once Upon a Time" is a banger. Tracks like "Dead Men Don't Sing" and "Full of Hate" and "See You In Hell" have those wicked rhymes that Natas is known for and aren't for pop fans. "World's Apart" is rather weak for the first few lines, but it grew on me and now I listen to it everytime I play the album. It's even funny in a way, as some lyrics in the song go "Hold on baby you know I love you, put that gun down let me hug you, let me tell you that's not even the case, then you slap me in my face!" "Nightmares" is an A+ track with a nice chorus and good lyrics, which even get a little political in the third verse, "I had a nightmare the devil made me part of his plan, put me in the Constitution I'm 3/5th's of a man" (referring to the 3/5th Compromise, which made African-Americans count as 3/5th's of a person in society). "On My Own" is a laidback track all about getting on your grind and getting things right for yourself and not worrying about everyone else. The chorus sounds kind of weak at first, but it's another one of those that grow on you the more you listen. "N of Tha World" is a nice track about drugs, street life and bad things that happen in the world. It's got great lyrics and a really good chorus. TNT holds it down well on "Crazy Town", which also has a crazy beat and a good sample for the chorus. "N*ggaz Always Talkin Alot of $hit" has a good beat and Esham and TNT rap in hushed-sounding voices. Makes for a decent listen. "Why You Gotta Lie" is an ok way to end the album. It has a NICE rock beat to it (which they sampled "Walk This Way"). It's about everyone in the world that lie about everything (if you couldn't tell from the title of the cut).
br /
br /The first track that I felt like skipping was "Pancakes Syrup". The album would've been better without it. The chorus is kind of annoying. Another mediocre cut is "Trouble and Pain". While not exactly a bad song, the verse by Moe Baddis is very weak. The chorus makes me cringe by the way dude says "trouble and pain" (when you hear the song you'll know what I'm talking about). However, the rest of the song is good, if you can get past those two drawbacks. The only other song is the simply titled "?". I don't know if it's supposed to be a hidden track, since it's not listed on the Amazon tracklist, and in the booklet they give it no credits. However, it doesn't do much for the album, even though the beat is cool.Besides these three songs, the album is great.
br /
br /This should not disappoint Esham and Natas fans. Don't worry about Mastamind, TNT and Esham hold it down, trust me. Esham continues to add on to his underground legacy. He was in control of most of the album; producing every track and also being the executive producer. Almost all the beats are great, and of course the lyrics are on point for most of the album. It's a great return for Natas. Also look out for TNT's long awaited solo album, entitled "Suicide Bomber". I don't know exactly when it's supposed to drop (or if it seriously ever will). But when it does, pick that up as well as this. Go ahead and pick this up anyway if you're an Esham or Natas fan, or if you just like hardcore rhymes. The album also doesn't overflow with tracks, as it has 16 minus an intro, so really that's only 15 tracks, and it's only about an hour long so you're not getting twenty extra minutes of filler. Almost all of these tracks are good, so it's well worth your money. Go out and buy it.
