Nas dropped a hella weird song, but its a grower and not that wack

[Antwon Mitchell]

I love Nas but this song ain't it, I feel like this wasn't the original beat to match with the lyrics...comes across like he changed it in time for this release.


However if this is the song in it's original state...I could see why it was "lost" and he should've kept it like that .


I still think the rest will be better but this song will most definitely be skipped .

rt i`m a big time nas fan but he lost it around 2008 or so, absolut lowpoint was that awfull cops shot the kid song from last year. I highly doubt that the lost tapes 2 got even one listenable song on it

 

[Juliano Soprano]

It’s not as bad as this thread makes it out to be, I guess I shoulda listened to the song before I looked at the thread?

Damn, I just listened to the whole song, that chorus/bridge thing is bad

Wish he woulda stuck to the first lost tapes theme, it had a very dark underground feel to it, this song throws that feel out the window

 

[L. Deezy]

I get what Nas was trying to do tho. U might have to be an 80's baby to remember Al Jarreau

Its gonna be a huge disconnect between rap fans and Artists in this age.

Nas is an artist. A huge jazz inspired artist.

 

[Screwtape]

Worse than ghetto techno?

 

[Jigganaut]

He let J. Cole down

 

[CHERUB]

none of these wack responses getting any daps

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Not worse than anything during Jays euro hov stage

 

[IntellectualViolence]

shyts dope. The GOAT pushing the art form forward

 

[Trace]

At first I was like but I've come to the conclusion that the song itself isn't the problem, it's an alright track at best.

The hook is the absolute problem here and takes the track to level 10,000 trash. We need a petition to have that shyt changed before next week, and everything should be good.

 

[ArchStanton]

No matter what you think of the song, this can't be the route any of us wanted the Lost Tapes 2 to take.

 

[Finesse]

Its not that bad

The execution and engineering could of been a lil tighter but overall its not as horrific as ya making it sound

Dudes a artist. He neva gave a fukk about fitting in sonically with the times

soundtrack to this adventures of Dave east

Rather listen to the original from Al Jarreau. (Great singer)
