Nas & DJ Premier - Define My Name (new single out now, album releasing later this year)

[L. Deezy]

Bringing up NY State Of Mind to defend this beat is not the way to go

its a single loop..

and NY State of Mind 2 is better than the original

 

[bigde09]

How is preme rocking with those dusty drums in 2024 Nas was decent

 

[LOST IN THE SAUCE]

its a single loop..

and NY State of Mind 2 is better than the original

NY State of Mind has the breakbeat, the piano loop and the alarm sound... Plus parts where the high end cuts out, or the drums are soloed, and the piano flourish plays to bring the rest of the beat back in. There's way more going on in NYSoM than with this joint.

 

[neomerge]

Love the beat and Nas killed it.

 

[Peak]

Primo sucks now. A lesser rapper would have made this unlistenable.

Man…..


DJ Premier: 6/10
Nas: 9/10

If I see Preem I’m clotheslining the shyt out of him , had me hyping him up yesterday based on past classics

At least the song isn’t as mixed bad as the whole hit boy era

It’s always good to hear the God MC but a whole album of RZA guitar center beats - I won’t be able to take - STEP IT UP PREEM

Yeah, and that loop sounds better musically than this loop. This sounds like a fart and a single note doorbell, just empty and lifeless

 

[prophecypro]

This beat is fine lol

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Beat is just way too simplistic, it felt like a couple of intro bars building to something bigger and then it just...didn't. It's aight.

 

[Zero]

This beat is fine lol

Its alright....just like every other beat he's done for the past decade plus, just alright.

It took Nas hopping on one for Booth dudes to finally admit he fell off

He's given his best material to Griselda, everything outside of that has been just okay.

[Supa]

Same..

Been bumping it non-stop on my ride to work.

People act like NY State of Mind wasnt a single loop now..lol

Its crazy out here when it comes to Nas.

The beat had more layers and there was the horn section when the second verse started. This new one isn't a even a loop it's stabs.

 

[Canon]
