I can keep going to:comeon: using streams is bullshyt you know anything with Kayne name attached to it automatically inflate #'s from any artist. That nikka is:flabbynsick::flabbynsick: IDK wtf you nikkaz hear in Kayne production these days shyt is:flabbynsick:

None of those are better than Adam and Eve

Has nothing to do with Kanye name attached because the other records on Nasir don’t even come close to that many plays. It’s the hottest beat Nas has rapped on in the last decade.

Moments, Store Run, maybe Wu for the children are what I would say 10/10 beats.

The rest of your list are 6-8 level beats. Maybe it’s mixing. Idk.

I give Hit credit to getting Nas to rap like I know he can. I guess that’s part of being a producer.

I’ll upgrade his producer rating to a 8

I'm only half way through and dude is spazzing on every track like he's unsigned and homeless. Like if he don't rap at a certain level, he has no idea where his next meal will come from.

This shyt is legit crazy as fukk. I liked "Magic" a lot and so far this is better than that.

The majority of the beats on this Nas album sound like old backpacker beats:what:.... "I'm on fire" and "reminisce" sound like some shyt Kanye made when he was 16.

"Recession proof" sounds like some shyt black moon woulda rapped over in 92. And I actually like that beat. But stop it. Like I said. The production is solid. But hardly amazing like some of yall are making it seem. Some of yall in here acting like these beats are really blowing your mind:pachaha:.....this not even close to the best production being released today. Hit is dope but he's just not on that elite level.


And I gave the damn album 4 mics for fukk sake:hhh:.......what am i supposed to do?.....Call it a top 3 Nas album ever like some of yall?:what::mjlol:.......Anybody who believes this shyt is in nas's top 3 is a legit retard. This shyt is dope. Nothing more. It is what it is.
Why did u get so mad bruh? nikka just said the Joey beat sound like some old shyt. nikka ain’t even criticize ur post. Lol

I think Hitboy is an ok producer, If i had to rate him I'd give him like a 7.5.

To me his greatest talent is he got Nas sounding like Nas again... I guess that counts the most. I'm not seeing this genius level producer here. I guess he's consistent ?

There's something about his beats, it just lacks something to me... I hear corny arrangements and odd sound choices on some songs...and the mixing, his beats are mixed to be the forefront rather than Nas.

Like I'm thinking back over all 4 of these releases, was there one classic beat ? Maybe Store Run... Maybe Moments ? To me HitBoy is holding these albums back, they're good releases that could be great-classic releases

I wish Kanye wasn't a dumbass and didn't rush the Gawd, took his time like he did with Push, even then.. As far as beats go ? I like Adam and Eve over anything on all 4 of these albums.
Number 1. Kanye stole that beat. Number 2. Lay off the crack. Stick to console wars my guy.

A lot of the KD/Magic beats are mixed better than Adam & Eve

NINTH WONDER DEFENDING NAS????
@TheDarceKnight get in here and explain!

Im not surprised because what maybe 21 doesn’t understand is Nas is probably on of a few rappers my that manages to be underground mainstream and a cultural icon all at the same time. I mean this is a man who was considered the greatest when even Pac and Biggie were alive, it’s also a man who had the whole of the underground seeing him as some type messiah like rapper even before his first album.

At the same time he managed to turn away from that to sometimes much criticism especially from that underground base but it’s him doing this that cemented his cultural legacy. He was in Belly, doing feature with Lauryn Hill Aaliyah and R Kelly all the same time.

if Nas isn’t relevant then what 90’s rapper outside of Em and Jay is(musically) also if Nas isn’t relevant then neither isn’t the whole underground scene where he’s looked at as some type of God which 9th wonder is a part of.

I don’t know what he said but he literally exposing himself as a cracka ass hater. No one will take him serious on his issues with Nas.
he posted a video showing the top 50 streaming songs on Spotify trying to prove 21 point. Then dudes posted Nas album #1 on Itunes he says nothing. Ross goons should've finished the job:pacspit:

He posted the line with Nas talking about “picking bad beats and bad freaks” and said “Is this line about me?”
