![]() Nastradamus offers little in the way of prophecy, and even less for the next chapter in hip-hop. There are some highlights: “Project Windows” features the mournful utterances of Ronald Isley and offers a glimpse of Nas’ Langston Hughes-like genius: “Black hoods, cops and projects/Sewers flooded with foul blockage/The gutter’s wild and every child watches/Chains and top locks get ripped off hinges.” “Last Words” shines because of its military drumbeat and chants, and the eeriness of Nas, Nashawn and Millennium Thug’s naming themselves “hanging slaves.” But that’s where the creativity ends.
