Pass me the rock nikka
Name 5 albums with indisputably better production from beats, skits, to mixing than IWW in '96 and albums with classic beats like If I Ruled The World and Affirmative Action which would become freestyle favorites over the years.
Name 4 since I know Hell On Earth is gonna be there

I love AZ and I fukk with his debut but Doe or Die isn't blowing any of the NY mafioso albums from that era out of the water. I can't even fathom soneone thinking its in the same league as IWW.
This is why I'm dispelling the myth today.
majority of nas production
even if this were true, the "batting average over a long period of time" scenario didn't make sense to you?
Is this nicca serious
rather than a smiley and small sentence, why don't you state your opinion in full?
how the fukk is this possible?
how do you listen to ANY hip hop without hearing the instrumental?
Most purist hated Trackmaster productions back then , which puzzles because alot of their mid 90s production was straight heatrock to meName 5 albums with indisputably better production from beats to mixing than IWW in '96 and albums with classic beats like If I Ruled The World and Affirmative Action which would become freestyle favorites over the years.

Ill stand by that... AZ got some of Pete Rock's most underrated work
plus he introduced hip hop to some of the most seminal jazz/soul samples

Nah... Im talking production wise.
IWW has some of Nas' most memorable verses, so Ill take it over Do or Die
Affirmative Action is probably one of the best/recognizable rap instrumentals ever , and despite what purist say about Trackmasters they laced Nas with some stellar beats off the strength of their sample/loop selections , had two Hav beats in his prime , Premiere , LES etc.. and as a result sonically the album aged very well .. Do I really have to summarize or go into depth why son is bugginrather than a smiley and small sentence, why don't you state your opinion in full?

This is even more puzzling. The songs you posted are dope (though, half of them feature Nas, ironically), but overall the production on IWW is way more dynamic.
Trackmasters were glossy, pop RnB bullshyt for the most part. Zero atmosphere and grit. Hip hop is grit.
Imagine someone serving you one of the grittiest, most beautiful albums ever for his debut then serving up some limp crossover stuff for the follow-up. You would be (rightfully) pissed.
