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

OP, why the p*ssy move of changing the thread title

I really wish Nas and Cormega never beefed, this bullshyt song basically confirms what Mega said about Nas having a bunch of yes men around him.

"Like I remember when Nas was doing the "It Was Written" album. I would walk in the studio and let's just say I would hear a beat that was wack. I'd be like, "yo son, that shyt sounds like a shampoo commercial." I remember everybody in the room looked at me like I said something so terrible. They looked at me so crazy that I felt uncomfortable. It was like OK, in the Nas environment you got to kiss his ass. But that's not good for his career. Because when your not keepin' it real with him, your not helping his music. Where as if you critique his beats and say he needs a better beat, then his shyt would have been better. We have had our differences, but I bet you he respects me more then he respects alot of ni99az and he respects my judgment. I know people that don't even like me that say Mega has one of the best ears for beats in the business." - Cormega

He's right

 

[Lýba'rhaésheýun]

I feel like someone like Tech Or Twista would be able to rock that beat better, like it fits kinda

I actually dug the song off first listen check the lost tapes thread
But since noone else liked it I thought I misheard.

Shyt is dope

 

[malbaker86]

illmatic alone has 9 great ones

He's an ant-Nas troll bruh

 

[prophecypro]

He's right

It was written was a poor example for Mega to use

 

[prophecypro]

It’s always been this way he’s a great MC but can craft songs for sh1t and a terrible ear for beats

He doesn’t realize it’s MUSIC his ego gets in the way and it’s just him proving he can rhyme over anything

hes rapped over too many great beats in his career as well though. its not that.
When you're 20 years deep most artist have good and bad stuff when you experiment.

And its not ego, cause if it was he'd had that he'd do what people want, stuff like this is done because he just likes doing things differently care free

 

[prophecypro]

Nas stans are dangerously close to "Beyhive" territory. Like, how the fukk do you defend this shyt?

I had to accept my L when Hov did that bumass, "cake, cake, cake" shyt, so why can't ya accept that this song is trash and a horrible choice as a single.

They are though? Seriouslly did you read the comments in here or skim through it?


Most of us think it sucks and know its not it and a couple like it and think they see something in it


There is hardly a united front to approve this record from his fans

I Dont know if I’ve ever seen groupthink more prevalent then on the Coli. Y’all trippin this shyt goes hard af.

Idk how old you are so I don't know if you was into hip hop when that album dropped, but that album was panned by critics at the time, people saying it was trash and he sold out and all that. It wasn't until somewhat recently that that album started getting love like that. One of the main critiques of the album was it's production, so I can see Mega's point...he is a Nas hater though, lol.

This shyt is trash, lol. I never understood how people could just blindly defend artists/entertainers/athletes/whoever solely because they're fans of them. Objectivity is a beautiful thing man, feels good, lol.

I'm actually going to see Nas tonight in Virginia, I'm a super duper fan, it's supposed to be a 25 year anniversary for Illmatic show...but if he tries to play this trash I'm booing...loud, and I'm right in front of the stage.

Nah I went to the show in wpb and trust he’s not going to play it at all. He’s going to play mostly illmatic and his classic joints after that. I was surprised he did the intro to stillmatic tho. Yooo don’t sleep on Mary, she shut that shyt down lol

This that Black super hero music brehs

That and QB Finest were the only albums Mega was around Nas for. You're right though, IWW's production is great.
