Jewelz or It Was Written? Which album do you like more?

[I love Latina women]

 

[Art Barr]

Neither.

As it's my world. Was arguably the best lead single for an album that year. That is so otherwordly classic good.




That the album never lives up to the quality of the lead single.
Nor does it followup.
the content rich almost perfect classic from oc's debut.


Nas.
After the scarface intro.
Just descends jnto a commercial sellout direction.
That just does not equal any of the output of Illmatic. Plua culturally opens a rabbit hole slash black hole. Of which hiphop culture and rap ss a business has never recovered from.

No disrespect to O.C. or Jewelz but Nas was operating on a different level on IWW. One of the GOAT storytelling albums, technical masterpiece too, bars overflowing with gems, elite flows and rhyme schemes.

I hate that Art Barr Da God think IWW is huff and a toy album

I wish it was not so myself.
How you think i feel.
being like the origjnal nas fan.

I been bigger fans of rhese guys than y'all.
Plus got the not a dj vinyl stories.
to back it up since the essence.
Yet i am not ever.

going to give a pass.
to endorse cultural destruction. that we can not walk back.
that culturally was not supposed to happen.

If it is any consolation to you.

I swear by bevel tho.

Got the clippers and liner and my cuts got faster.
plus went even more next level.

Sohh i boycott his albums since iww.

Yet i gave him more revenue.
on two pairs of barber equipment From bevel. That exponentially are higher.
than the revenue of album purchases in his career.

I k ow nas not the full trtuh as an emcee. Yet at least i know.
his contribution to the barber world.
as the new industry leader.

Same…O.C. was nice

I always say Nas never again reached the lyrical highs he reached on IWW. That nikka was just showing off at that point with the flow and word play.

 

[ThirdAct]

It's close but I give the edge to IWW...Jewelz is fire though, Can't Go Wrong with it

 

[Rasille]

Jewelz was dope but it’s not seeing IWW.

 

[iLLusoYuN_Da_Adidas_King]

Jewelz aint fukking with illmatic.

Far From Yours is one the goat hiphop radio singles and didn't compromise OC at all imo

Disagree, Jewelz is a classic as well
