You wrote this: 'As for the album's muddled political core, it's best exemplified on "Farrakhan," where in one breath Nas claims that he's a "revolutionary" while in the next he claims he's the "king of bling, jewels and Bentleys." ' If you go back and listen to the line, he actually says that OTHERS will tarnish his legacy as a "revolutionary" (once he dies?) by labeling him the "king of bling, jewels and Bentleys." That is why he immediately says afterward that then "they'll use one of my lines to prove I'm guilty." So yeah, I really didn't find any contradictions made by Nas in the album, but to each his own.
