So let me get this straight. The Message sounds the same as I Gave You Power which sounds the same as Street Dreams? These are all time great Nas tracks yall dismissing right now. Who the fukk skips I Gave You Power? Lol.

Lmao I skip that shyt, he not the only rapper relating guns to women. We know the lyrics are different from song to song. He’s more focused and sharper on IWW vs illmatic.

The production just drones on and on, through the first half. The songs on the second half really bite your ear and grab you like “shootouts”, “live nikka raps”, etc.

Also. Illmatic blends together way more than IWW. To the point u forget like 6 or 7 producers had their hands on it.

Illmatic is way more diverse and had a lot more bounce. All the various producers’ sounds are distinct and identifiable.

I left that out but that's another standout. It's the second half of the album for me that blends in and gets a little monotonous. Shootouts is dull as fukk

I Gave You Power beat is dry now? Lol. Aight. I'm done. Street Dreams didn't have bounce? Take It In Blood might be the best beat on the whole album. Then shyt like Affirmative Action didnt have bounce? That baseline? Whew I'm glad Nas did shyt his way man. Grateful af. Lol.

Most of the album is flat and dry af. It’s okay, we didn’t call it trash, we’re all fans of Nas and still listen to the damn album lmao.

That baseline is ass in comparison to something “Live nikka Raps”, one of my favorite Nas songs.

We aren’t hurting the nikka, shyt dropped ages ago, and it’s still being enjoyed today. We’re all glad Nas did things his way otherwise we wouldn’t be fans at all lol.

I’M saying “Shootouts” AND “Live nikka Raps” are better than those.

Son Noone cares about what ur favorite Nas song Is. Put it like this. Look at the tracks from the album that gets sampled, flipped, and rapped on the most. It's the ones u shytting on. The problem ain't the beats. It's ur ears.

Nah, you getting bent out of shape because other Nas Stan’s don’t enjoy Nas the same way you do.

Nas would be homeless if he listened to alot of u nikkas opinions. Name one other rapper rushing to spit to the Live nikka Rap beat. U got nikkas still spitting on the beats I mentioned till this day.

IMO It Was Written lyrically>Illmatic but Illmatic production wise.>It Was Written. Both classics in Nas catalogue though
