This is the Debut Full-Length LP from Georgia Singer and Rapper Lil Nas X. Montero Lamar Hill, aka Lil Nas X, blew up on the popular music scene with an all time hit, Old Town Road which then got remixed and got even bigger due to a Billy Ray Cyrus feature, this track stands at 1.2billion plays at present. He released an EP soon after that included another hit single, Panini. This track was a lot more pop influenced instead of the country rap style that he brought to Old Town Road. Nas continued this trend on the EP and his next few hit singles, first Holiday which did have a rapped verse but the instrumental was a regular pop beat in the current wave of pop and recently the lead single for this record Montero (Call Me By Your Name) which showed that he was looking to make him being gay the forefront of the music in this current chapter of his career. I don’t necessarily mind it because at the end of the day, anyone can rap or sing about whatever they want and especially if it’s something personal. The problem I have with Lil Nas is his music videos. He’s allowed to express himself, but on the Montero single he’s twerking on the devil in the video and that’s just a little bit of a step too far. Industry Baby is one of my favourite Nas tracks because of the fantastic horn passage on the track and the killer Jack Harlow feature. I’m not even necessarily crazy about the track but there’s an insanely catchy aspect to it. I have another problem with this music video though, as it has a scene where there’s multiple naked men dancing in the bathroom. I’m sorry but I don’t swing that way and It ruins the song if you listen to it on the music video. The song itself had a lot of potential though so I was intrigued to see how good Nas can take his obvious high level of talent and see if he can produce some interesting songs with maybe a deeper layer on his sexuality since that was clearly the way he wanted to make his music which I have no problem with. Unfortunately this didn’t happen.
