Kanye West feat Nas - We Major appreciation thread

[Non Sequitur]

It was the entire feel of the song. it was straight outta Kanye's typical handbook where he hears something underground that's edgy and cool and mainstreams it. the instant the beat dropped i screamed MF Doom. and i wasn't alone. that shyt is very special herbsish.

You know what, this is kinda true...





...but those fukking horns, man!

 

[Big Mel]

don't get me wrong, it's a dope beat.

I listen to this everyday because of NBA 2K13

 

[Snitchin Splatter]

You know it was time when Kanye dropped one of his bests opening lines of all time

"FEELIN BETTER THAN SOME HEAD ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON

BETTER THAN A CHICK THAT SAYS YES TOO SOON

UNTIL YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER, THATS WHAT I CALL KARMA

AND YOU PRAY TO GOD, SHE DON'T GROW BREASTS TOO SOON

 

[JLaw]

I survived the livest nikkas around
lasted longer than more than half of you clowns
Look, I used to cook before I had the game took
Either way my change came like Sam Cooke

"I'm Jesse Jackson on the balcony when King got killed"

No Introduction reminded me a lot of this song, it's got the same kind of beat and Nasir spitting that epic retrospective shyt.

it's funny to see what moves you jitterbugs. do you guys get actual goosebumps from this rap? i'm not trying to be a dikk.

my entire head feels like it shrinks and i get flushed with adrenaline from the hip hop i love. does that happen when you guys play Kanye?

Ask the reverand was the strip club cool
if my tips help send a pretty girl through school
That's all I want like wino's want they good whisky
I ain't in the Klan, but I brought my hood with me....


And I love to give my blood sweat and tears to the mic
So y'all copped the LPs and y'all fiends got dealt
I'm Jesse Jackson on the balcony where King got killed...

 

[HendriX]

So we gon act like that weak ass Brandy song or that Gold digger mess dont exist on that album? I love yall cats but its not perfect by a long stretch..its a classic but not perfect.

Nas opening lines

No lie that shyt 'inspired' the opening lines to my thesis as well

I'm a writer not a biter

"Simple rap lines you like for no real reason"

Song is the definition of epic.

Come on, Big Mel, we major
