No Phony Love needs to be a video, b


There’s legitimately five potential hit singles on this album. No Phony Love being one of them.


Again comparing it to Life Is Good, that album also had endless single potentials and Nas did real good with the songs he chose (Nasty as the “street single”, Daughters, The Don, Cherry Wine, Bye Baby)

Alc has classic albums too. Covert Coup for instance. Better than Bandana to me.
i disagree. i love covert coup but alc albums are free flowing and structured like mixtapes unlike classic albums.

that style has been his mark for a while and he's great at it but classic albums are much more fleshed out.

he would need to do more songs with hooks and flesh out the ideas to showcase on that level.

that’s what fukked me up. Nah, life is good wasn’t just a good album, that shyt was incredible. Back When, Where'sthe Love, Black Bond, Locomotive, Reach Out, it goes on and on. That’s in my top 5 of Nas albums.
Me & @Esco went through this earlier at worst KD2 vs LIG may be a tie. LIG is an incredible album track for its incredibly hard to chose

you kinda a pac groupie to the point where track 2 ruined the album for you.

Naw I'm a hip.hop head first! That's the difference between me and y'all cats. I'm from that era 88-96 when you don't dikk ride and spoke the truth when it came to hip hop, so it might be a shock to y'all, but I'm from that era when male groupies got frowned on.

I'm from the era when you let the dead rest, don't bring negative energy and evil spirits back, The same thing Nas raps about. Didn't Nas once said Now Evil Spirit's Begone? Now why you bringing up something that 5 people lost their lives, that fukked with people mind. Look what it done to Biggie Smalls listen to Life After Death you can literally feel the anxiety nervousness sadness paranoia on the whole album

I'm a Pac fan and I can say some shyt he said to Biggie wasn't called for but it's War

You see I'm a hip hop head first, fan 2nd

I said my Peace let's keep it moving Nas is Number 2 on my GOAT list, he's Number 3 on my personal favorite Emcee but he's a Man, he's not my Idol, he's not my God, he's not my father I can critique if you nikkas don't like it well fukk You Too because I know for a fact Nas stay away from nikkas like y'all, weird Stan nikkas. Look how he didn't answer Lupe Fiasco phone call when he asked him to do an album on Ill Will, or how he did Blu, didn't Nas told Nature he's not his father be a Man stand on his own? :russ:

Y'all crazy:pachaha: King Disease 2 was a dope album, I enjoyed it it's not better than King Disease 1 in my humble opinion, Great Victory Lap from one of the greatest
