  • Nas, Foxy Brown, AZ, and Nature Present The Firm: The Album war ein einmaliges Projekt der Hip-Hop-Crew The Firm. Die Gruppe war von 1996 bis 1998 aktiv und bestand aus den vier New Yorker Rappern Nas, Foxy Brown, AZ und Nature. Gegründet wurde die Gruppe in erster Linie von Nas Escobar (so nannte sich Nas damals), seinem Manager Steve Stoute und Dr. Dre. Als Gruppe trat The Firm das erste Mal auf Nas Album It Was Written auf dem Song „Affirmative Action“ auf. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war noch Queensbridge Rapper Cormega das vierte Glied der Crew, er wurde später durch Nature ausgetauscht, wodurch es zu Streitigkeiten kam. Cormegas und Nas Freundschaft endete von da an und Cormega veröffentlichte den Diss Track „Fuck Nas and Nature“. Der Beef zog sich noch mehrere Jahre hin, endete aber dann doch noch im Jahr 2001. Der Grundgedanke von The Firm war, eine Starthilfe für Newcomer in den Einstieg ins Rapgame zu sein. 1997 wurde das Album über Dr. Dres Label Aftermath und Interscope Records veröffentlicht und war ein voller Erfolg was die Verkaufszahlen angeht und landete in den amerikanischen Charts auf Platz 1. Die Kritiker bewerteten das Album jedoch negativ. Wenige Monate später löste sich die Gruppe auf, und alle Mitglieder führten ihre Solokarrieren fort. (de)

The Album is a concept album that revolves around the themes of mafia and "gangsta" lifestyle. The songs on the album were mainly produced by Dr. Dre, Chris "The Glove" Taylor and Trackmasters (as Poke and Tone), and feature guest vocals from Pretty Boy, Wizard, Canibus, Dawn Robinson, Noreaga and Half-a-Mill. The Album received mixed reviews from the music critics, who criticized its mainstream pop-oriented sound rather than the members' previous styles. In the United States, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and also topped the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. It also charted in other countries, such as Canada, France and the United Kingdom. The Album sold 147,000 copies in the debut week and has sold over 925,000 copies in the United States and was certified gold in Canada. Two singles were released from the album, with "Firm Biz" peaking at number twelve on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and number eighteen on the UK Singles Chart. Although the album's second single "Phone Tap" failed to chart, it remained the group signature song. (en)

Il progetto è stato creato da Nas, dal manager Steve Stoute e dai produttori Dr. Dre e i Trackmasters che hanno avuto l'idea di formare un supergruppo hip hop. L'organico originale prevedeva Nas, AZ, Cormega e Foxy Brown, tutti presenti nella canzone Affirmative Action dell'album It Was Written (1996). Tuttavia, Cormega è rimpiazzato da Nature prima della realizzazione del disco a causa di divergenze artistiche tra lui e Nas e disaccordi contrattuali con Stoute. Il disco è un concept album che ruota attorno ai temi della mafia e dello stile di vita "gangsta". Le tracce dell'album sono state prodotte principalmente da Dr. Dre, i Trackmasters e Chris Taylor e prevedono la collaborazione di Wizard, Pretty Boy, Dawn Robinson, Noreaga, Canibus e Half-a-Mill. L'album ha ricevuto recensioni contrastanti da parte della critica a causa del suono mainstream orientato al pop piuttosto che agli stili precedenti dei singoli membri. The Album debutta al primo posto nella Billboard 200 e nella classifica dedicata alle produzioni R&B/Hip-Hop, classificandosi anche in Francia, Regno Unito e Canada. Il disco vende 147.000 nella sua prima settimana e 925.000 complessivamente negli Stati Uniti, ottenendo il certificato di disco d'oro in Canada. Due singoli sono pubblicati dall'album, con che raggiunge la dodicesima posizione nella e il numero ottanta UK Singles Chart. Tuttavia, il secondo singolo dell'album Phone Tap non riesce a classificarsi. (it)
