Music and lyrics
N of tha World features live instrumentation and loops which derive from blues, funk and hard rock.[1] "See You In Hell" is built around a sample of the Muddy Waters song "Tom Cat", from his 1968 psychedelic concept album Electric Mud. "Why You Gotta Lie" samples the drum break from Aerosmith and Run-DMC's "Walk This Way" and the chord progression of Metallica's "Enter Sandman".[1]
The album's lyrics focus on topics ranging from women and violence to spirituality.[1] Natas expresses self-reliance and allegiance to God.[1]
Reception
About.com reviewed the album favorably, writing "Great, great stuff that I personally will drop on the many I meet daily that are starved for proper hip-hop."[1]
