Real Big and Blue Laces 2

 

[TheGregReaper]

Double Up is a banger too

 

[THE 101]

Anyone else think the album should have ended at Real Big? Seemed like the perfect song to end it with.

Technically it does. The last two songs are bonus tracks.

I agree, it's a perfect closer.

Think nikkas is really sleeping on "young nikka"

That sh1t fukkin bumps. From that pnd sample on the hook, to nip's verses...to diddy's beautifully over the top adlibs..."GET YOUR MONEY YOUNG NIKKA"

Classic right here

That song is mixed better than the rest of the album and sounds incredible on my speaker

So what exactly is the job of the sonic composition guy?

lol

I originally asked him to get on "Rap N*****." He heard the record and he was like, "Yeah, 'Rap N*****' is strong Hussle, but listen to this." And he pulled up [1994's] "Natural Born Killaz"with Ice Cube and Dre. And he said, "It don't sound like that though, bro." And this was the version [of "Rap N*****"] before the one we put out. It had less production. So I had my producer and we went to Puff's mansion he had just bought in L.A. — he had built a studio in the back.

He pressed play [again] on "Natural Born Killaz," like, "I hear what you're trying to do. It didn't sound like this sonically; it's not ready, bro." And I'm like, "Damn. You right!" We had it mixed and mastered, but the Dre and Ice Cube record was noticeably louder. So we went back to the studio and I hit [sound engineer] Mixed by Ali, like, "Bro we gotta mix it again, it's not loud enough." He's like, "No, it's gonna get louder in mastering." "No, bro." And I played "Natural Born Killaz" for everybody — the producers, the keyboard players. I said, "Listen to the energy of this record. We gotta make it this loud."

We went back in and reproduced it and added the synths to go throughout the whole song

King Nipsey


Y'all need to go on somewhere with that Hustle and Motivate slander tho. The fukk wrong with yall

That beat just didnt need to be slowed down bro. It sound annoying as hell how they freaked it. Almost akin to nails on a chalkboard. shyt is like screwed without being screwed. Its a throwaway and he done previwed like 5 better tracks that would fit the album better on his Instagram alone.

Better get a damn Nipsey: The Lost Tapes
