It Was Written (original) (raw)
- It Was Written (englisch für Es steht geschrieben) ist das zweite offizielle Musikalbum des aus Queensbridge stammenden Rappers Nas. Das Album wurde hauptsächlich von Samuel „Tone“ Barnes und Jean-Claude „Poke“ Olivier (Trackmasters) produziert; es sollte das genaue Gegenteil des Vorgängeralbums Illmatic werden. Von Raekwon inspiriert, änderte Nas sein Image zeitgleich vom „Jungen aus den Projects“ zum Mafioso und nennt sich von nun an Nas Escobar (nach dem Kolumbianischen Drogenhändler Pablo Escobar, der lange Zeit ein Drogenkartell anführte). Im Song I Gave You Power wird zum von DJ Premier produzierten Beat mit Piano-Sample eine Geschichte aus der Perspektive einer Schusswaffe erzählt. Das Album beinhaltet außerdem Hits wie If I Ruled The World mit Lauryn Hill von den Fugees, Street Dreams und The Message. Für die Musikvideos der Singles stand ein großzügiges Budget zur Verfügung; sie wurden von Hype Williams gedreht. Auf It Was Written sind ebenfalls Gäste wie z. B. Mobb Deep vertreten, außerdem war es das Debüt der Hip-Hop-Gruppe The Firm mit den Mitgliedern Nas, AZ, Cormega und Foxy Brown. Nach der Veröffentlichung kam It Was Written bei den Fans gut an und wurde bis dato Nas’ in kommerzieller Hinsicht erfolgreichstes Album. Weltweit wurden insgesamt über drei Millionen Exemplare verkauft, und es setzte sich in den amerikanischen Album-Charts vier Wochen lang auf Platz eins fest. Nas’ Popularität stieg immer mehr, und er wurde somit auch bei Mainstream-Musik-Hörern bekannt. Der Rapper Lupe Fiasco aus Chicago erwähnte in einem Interview, dass It Was Written für ihn die größte Inspiration während seiner Jugend war. (de)
- It Was Written is the second studio album by American rapper Nas, released on July 2, 1996, by Columbia Records. After the modest commercial success of his debut album Illmatic (1994), Nas pursued a more polished, mainstream sound for It Was Written. Produced largely by Trackmasters, it departed from the debut's raw, underground aesthetic and embraced mafioso and gangsta themes. The recording also marked the first appearance of Nas's short-lived supergroup The Firm, featuring the rappers Foxy Brown, AZ, and Cormega. The album was a commercial success, selling 270,000 copies in its first week and debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, while receiving mostly positive reviews. It also heralded Nas's mainstream popularity as well as that of mafioso rap, joining similarly successful albums like Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… (1995) and Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt (1996). However, Nas's more commercial sound fostered accusations of selling out within the hip hop community, and its critical standing suffered with comparisons to the acclaimed Illmatic. With at least 3 million copies sold, and certified triple platinum, It Was Written remains Nas's best-selling album. (en)

- It Was Written è il secondo album in studio del rapper statunitense Nas, pubblicato il 2 luglio del 1996 dalla Columbia. Dopo il discreto successo di vendite del suo acclamato esordio Illmatic, Nas sceglie di concentrare i suoi sforzi in una direzione più commerciale. Prodotto principalmente dai Trackmasters, è un punto di partenza per lui dal suono grezzo e underground del suo album di debutto verso un suono più ricercato e commerciale. L'album presenta argomenti tipici del mafioso e del gangsta rap e segna la prima apparizione del supergruppo di Nas "The Firm", che include i rapper Foxy Brown, AZ e Cormega. L'album si è rivelato la pubblicazione di maggior successo commerciale di Nas con oltre due milioni di copie fisiche vendute nei soli Stati Uniti, debuttando al primo posto nella Billboard 200. Ha anche dato il via alla popolarità commerciale dell'artista e ha seguito il successo di altri album mafioso rap come Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... (1995) e Reasonable Doubt (1996). Tuttavia i suoi cambiamenti stilistici e il crescente successo commerciale hanno alimentato le accuse all'interno della comunità hip-hop che Nas si sia venduto alla musica commerciale. (it)

- It Was Writen (em português: Foi Escrito) é o segundo álbum solo do rapper americano Nas, lançado em 2 de Julho de 1996 pela Columbia Records nos Estados Unidos. Depois do número de vendas moderado do seu aclamado álbum de estreia Illmatic (1994), Nas escolheu focar-se em uma direção mais comercial. Primeiramente produzido pelos Trackmasters, foi uma mudança do tom cru e underground de sua estreia para um som mais polido e comercial. O álbum apresenta temas de gangsta e mafioso, e marca a primeira aparição de seu supergrupo The Firm, que incluía os rappers Foxy Brown, AZ e . O álbum provou-se ser o lançamento de maior sucesso comercial de Nas, estreando no primeiro lugar da Billboard 200 com 268,000 cópias e chegando a vender mais de 3 milhões de cópias mundialmente, com 2,494,000 só nos EUA. Também anunciou a popularidade de Nas, apesar de seu apelo ter sido prejudicado pelo sucesso de outros álbuns de mafioso rap como Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... (1995) e Reasonable Doubt (1996). Porém, suas mudanças de estilo e aumento de sucesso no mainstream promoveram acusações de se vender dentro da comunidade do hip hop. It Was Written também recebeu críticas mistas por não estar em par com Illmatic, servindo como um exemplo de queda do segundo álbum. (pt)
