I liked The Cross
And some of ems beats were flames idgaf
Why does Nas get so much flak for The Cross beat but when Jay raps on pretty much the exact same Eminem beat it's crickets
Shut ya hoe ass upStop posting clown
Hook and bar work was incredible on thereTurned a Eminem trash beat into a classic
Nas might be the goat for that oneHook and bar work was incredible on there

But in the same vein beats like Made You Look and Get Down were fantastic. ALC laced Nas with 3 stellar beats in that album. Heaven was a great beat too but haters ran with the narrative that the beats on here were bad and 9th was better.Because it fit into the narrative at the time that Nas was less good at picking beats, and Jay has bigger names doing most of his production like Neptunes, Timbo, Kanye, Just Blaze, etc, so it was looked at as a one off. People definitely weren't gassing up the Moment of Clarity beat and it was definitely looked at as sounding just like The Cross even back then
