nikka it’s not that cats don’t see how y’all feel it’s just that it’s how YALL feel. No one cares and how y’all feel ain’t the end all be all. If HitBoy made that Adam and Eve beat y’all would be shytting on it too. The beat to Speechless >>>>>> Adam and Eve.
Just the fact that you said "no one cares" already tells me you just want this thread to be nothing but praise. I never once said my opinion is the end all be all. I just dropped my rating and gave a breakdown of my specific likes and dislikes and kept it moving.

This is literally what we do in every album thread. We break shyt down. But it seems like only in Nas threads do people get sensitive over every little critique. It always has to be 100% worship. I loved the Gibbs album but also criticized Gibbs performance on a couple tracks. Didn't get any pushback or anybody saying "nobody cares!"....and that's exactly how it should be. There are no wrong opinions when it comes to music. :yeshrug:

Ebro talking a LOT of shyt but are him and Rosenberg PLAYING SONGS FROM THE ALBUM on their show?????
Yes, Ebro is playing it. He is the only one that is playing it. That’s why I keep telling y’all to focus bc there is an agenda to see Nas fail. Nas didn’t post that pic of him saying LOVE for nothing.

You talking about production sounding cheap then mentioning 9th makes me feel you have no ears.
I'm not even about to get into a 9th vs hitboy discussion :mjlol: ....Come on now. 9th got legit masterpieces under his belt. Hitboys catalog can't even compare. That's a whole nother thread altogether.

9th Wonder’s own group kicked him to the curb and wants nothing to do with him. They’re now making some of the BEST music they’ve ever made.


Meanwhile Hit-Boy winning Grammys, getting critical acclaim, and being a perennial Producer of the Year contender based on his work with Nas

Just finished.

Only song I wasn't feeling was "Til My Last Breath" because of the beat. Couple other songs I didn't like the hooks, but that's honestly nitpicking.

The first time I really took notice of Nas was "It Ain't Hard To Tell". I heard "Live At The BBQ" and "Back To The Grill" off Serch's album, but "It Ain't Hard To Tell" was what put him on the map for me.

Anyway, I was just thinking about all this listening to the album, then "First Time" came on which is the subject of the song.

I was 15 in 1991, now I'm 45 and Nas has been rapping my whole life. If you would've told me that back in 1991....I wasn't even sure rap would be around this long. Let alone a specific rapper, let alone doing it at this level, 30+ years later.

It's just mind boggling when you really sit and analyze it. The funny thing about history is, nobody knows it when they're living it.

I had the same experience. First time I heard him was on Live @ the BBQ "Oh shyt, he went to hell for snuffing Jesus...police murderer...kidnapping the president's wife without a plan...before stepping to him you better step to Jehovah" I thought he would come out with an album right then...but crickets. Ice Cube and Cypress Hill were running shyt, but as a kid I wasn't thinking "Death Certificate is an all time classic!" it was just the dopest album out at the time.

Next I heard Halftime on a Tony Touch mixtape. That's when the buzz started (at least down here). All of us Hip Hop heads in school, that's all we could talk about. When The Source article came out on the making of Illmatic, dudes was ready to fight over holding the magazine.

There was definitely a before and after Illmatic. I was a magazine head back then (Source, Rap Pages, Rap Sheet, 4080, Urb) and I remember multiple rappers being shook and saying shyt like "I gotta step my pen game up"
