Pac was overated hypocrites from the suburbs of Baltimore who went to a dance school for arts, nas is fucking legend from gangster to gentlemen, jeezy shouldnt even be put up there with em, and whi the fuck is kendrick 😅😅 thats nigga is ass, dobt ever compare kendrick to nas, compare him to macklemore or sum
Ricky Lorenzo Snoop aint from Compton and you don't think a bunch of nobody ass rappers from Compton have come out before Kendrick hit the scene and blew up? He got the cosigns because he's dope. It was no random decision. Clean the shit out of your ear drums and realize Kendrick is lyrically ahead of alot of his peers
+Ricky Lorenzo Nas gangster? Ok...Nerd from Queens bridge sounds about right.....And it wasn't dance school Nas with to it was School of performing Arts in which I don't under what that has to do with him rapping and his impact of the rap game
+First Last Nas disappointed me on that track. But i dont blame him. I mean, Its hard when you try new things for the very first time, Especially when you know your chance's of failing and succeed are 50/50. Am a comedian and the first time i went on stage i boomed so badly that if you'd knew me and every time you looked at me you would ask me the same shit over and over again "why? why bruh? what the fuck you was thinking? you sounded like Porky Pig from the God damn Looney Toon's, Dont do that again bruh even M. Jackson would moon out of his grave just to thriller on your ass and shout booo" but now am doing good.
Nas, will you go on a date w/ me? And can I be invited to your wedding Jeezy? I'll be the DJ at your reception. Believe me it's NOBODY'S pleasure. I'm trapped in the sickness oh no!
+John Quincy Astor Something to belive in from Fashawn, hip hop from Dj Khaled and One of Us from RIck Ross all post Life is Good...but I feel you, I think he tries to dumb it down too much...
Life Is Good is a post-Obama classic rap album if you ask me. I actually probably listen to it more than any of his other albums. But 2012 was almost 4 years ago and I’m just NOTHING he has been talking about in his features has been inspiring me. If so then post me some bars of something “fire” that he’s said? I understand he’s gotten into the tech world, he has been branded by Hennessy, is a Harvard Fellow, publisher and started back coddling Corporate America trying to get his money back up but I hope that hasn’t been the reason his music has been pretty tame. It literally sounds like he’s only doing these collabs (Jeezy, Beiber, Schoolboy Q, J-Lo, Miguel, Madonna, Rocko, etc) for money. He sounds bored and uninspired. I hope his passion for his upcoming solo hasn’t been lost in the marketing mix because I really never cared to hear Nas rapping about money, cash and clothes. That’s what I like Jay-Z for, he knows how to make capitalism sound good. I loved Nas because he was a ghetto poet, a teacher and socialist. He needs to take his ass to Egypt or Mecca and get back to studying his lessons and put the champagne glass and coke-sniffing crowd alone until his album is completed. But Nas has always been very duplicitous between commercial and underground.
Def Jam. They want radio songs. When really they should just let Nas make a complete album instead of forcing singles that mess up the cohesiveness of albums.
***** Exactly my point brother. It's good to hear you say that because usually when I level that criticism towards Nas, fans immediately jump straight into "I must defend Nas" mode instead of being analytical and thinking objectively. I am a Nas fan myself as he is my favorite rapper. If we compare Nas' earlier work to his later work in terms of technical skill we can see he has regressed or experienced a decline in the areas of vocabulary, utilization of polysyllabic rhymes, visual imagery or descriptive ability/poeticism. Today, we would be hard pressed to hear lyrics like "I sip the Don P, watchin' Ghandi til I'm charged and, writing in my book of rhymes all the words past the margin" or "My pen taps the paper then my brains blank, I see dark streets, hustlin' brothers who keep the same rank..."
lifestraight Yea The Eminem Show was the last classic album from him imo. The Recovery album was solid but he's lost that sharp delivery and flow over the years. I feel like Nas's subject matter has definitely gotten better since It Was Written. Life Is Good is a good album imo, the only weak track to me was Summer On Smash. The Distant Relatives album is near classic in my eyes, I was really surprised how good Nas sounded over reggae beats!
Jeezy don't even belong on the same track as Nas....they are not even on the same level or realm lyrically...I'm not a supporter of jeezy at all and this doesn't help....stop trying to force these collabs just to make a statement...let the magic happen naturally....I'm from va...and I'll be the first to say that they're plenty of down south and Midwest nigga who are just not ready lyrically to compete with the east....don't care how successful you are in your region or worldwide
why every body using that sound? if any beat maker/producer here. they know what I'm talking about. I thought I was trippin at first when I heard it on another track. lol. oh yeah this joint is worthless. what they doing. beat is dry. I'm out. one of those rush project.......mi gawn
