A lo largo de su carrera Miles Davis introdujo continuamente variaciones en la forma y el sonido del jazz. El rapper Nas ha trasladado este mismo nivel de innovación artística, transformación y liberación al mundo del hip hop. Alabado por la crítica por la complejidad de sus versos poéticos, por mostrar la dinámica de la calle y penalidades del ghetto, Nasir Jones a sus 25 años restauró la importancia del lirismo en el mundo del hip hop con su ya clásico álbum debut "Illmatic" en 1994. Dos años más tarde su "personaje" de Nasir Escobar inauguró la corriente "Mafioso" en la cultura del hip hop, con "It was written". Ahora, con 12 cortes que mezclan diversos estilos dentro de la nación global del hip hop, con su característica poesía profética, Nas presenta "I am..." otro hito creativo en la historia del hip hop y en el artista mismo. Nas recibe la clase de respeto que identifica a los verdaderos artífices de la palabra en el rap, para ellos todo se reduce a sus letra...
El rock es un género musical que se originó en Estados Unidos a mediados del siglo XX y se popularizó en todo el mundo en las décadas siguientes. El rock es una fusión de varios géneros musicales, como el blues, el country y el folk, entre otros.
El sonido del rock se caracteriza por el uso de guitarras eléctricas, baterías y bajo, aunque también se utilizan otros instrumentos como teclados y sintetizadores. Las letras de las canciones suelen hablar sobre temas como el amor, la política, la sociedad, la rebeldía y la juventud.
A lo largo de los años, el rock ha evolucionado en muchos subgéneros diferentes, como el rock and roll, el rock progresivo, el punk, el heavy metal, el grunge, el indie rock y muchos más. Algunas de las bandas más influyentes en la historia del rock incluyen a The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Nirvana y Radiohead, entre otras.

Uh, yeah the booty is the bass
The highs, the beauty in ya eyes
First glance I became alive
She went through a lot of dangerous guys, surprise
Now she went to side on Nas
Cause I ain't choose her, she chose me
In the party, it was a early day a March
When I first had ya legs arched
In the park, wasn't even dark
We was in the zone, we ain't care who watch
Baby was ?? though the trees was sparked
She said till you get enough, please don't stop
So I played wit it, got the moist spot hot
If I ain't hittin' the bottom, I'm getting some top
My hair cut look air brushed
Whatever I wear is straight plush from the ears to chucks
As we ?? across the dance floor
Just, me and you no one else but us to
[Maxwell]
No other girl in the room
No other girl in the room but you
(There's no other girl lookin' as good as you)
There's nobody but you
(They can try, they can try)
No other girl in the room
(But you know, you know, you know)
No other girl in the room
(Oh, oh, ooo ooo)
No other girl in the room but you
(There's no other girl, no)
There's nobody but you
(They try)
No other girl in the room
(There's nobody to,)

In the early eighties, shorty had me off the wall
A super freak as my thoughts revolved
It's like a menage Winona Gaye and Leila Hathaway
Both they fathers a tell me to play, sip ??
On our honeymoon everyday
We dance to the same tune everyday
Beauty and the goon they would say
You promise, savage beast
You a sexy freak
Your moist lips negates the ecstacy
Number one in my book, no discrepancy
When you walk on the earth, you be reppin' me
I'm obsessed with thee, cherish every breath you breathe
No matter what's going on around us
All I could hear was the sound of (her)
Twirlin' her around just (her)
See nobody in the crowd just (her)
[Maxwell]
(No other)
No other girl in the room
(No one)
No other girl in the room but you
(There's no other girl)
There's nobody but you
(Thinkin' about you baby, baby)
No other girl in the room
(Never ever, ever, ever, see you)
No other girl in the room
(Oh)
No other girl in the room but you
(No other girl has, they're not you)
There's nobody but you
(Oooh baby yeah)
No other girl in the room
[Nas]
