[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

What if he made Illmatic 2 with the same producfion line-up as the original

It’s crazy how nikkas still in here trying to deny Hit when every album these nikkas drop is better, if not, on the same level as the last

Meanwhile, y’all favorite washed rappers y’all stan on here ain’t dropping shyt near the quality of the KD/ Magic series

Son is 50 still running up the score

Also, nikkas better pray Al outdoes Hit on Benny shyt. Cause if he don’t a lotta of y’all nikkas feelings gon be hurt

They're fans of their own nostalgia. They want to replicate the feeling they had when they were younger in the early 90s. Chasing that first high that never comes. As a result its "Nas gotta do this, Nas gotta do that." Nas gotta do a song with producer x that hasn't made a fire beat in 10 years. Nas gotta rap about that army jacket lining. Nas gotta stop his unprecedented and arguably strongest 4-album run of his career.

shyt is exhausting.

This is it 100% when you 12-20 music hits you differently. My Nas example is Nas is Like when Flex dropped it I thought it was greatest song I ever heard. My uncles had to tell me to STFU because I was so excited . Dudes tryna to diminish HB shyt because it's not that level is ridiculous not many come close to that. I don't say nah Speechless ain't Nas is Like fukk this shyt is weird

Maybe I’m just different. No matter how good the albums are, I don’t think Nas/Hit boy collabs are the peak of NAS career

He never gonna top the 94-96 era or dropping Stillmatic, Lost Tapes and God's Son in under a year

If someone don't like Hit-Boy beats that's cool I ain't gonna argue with them about personal taste

More important thing is Hit-Boy can speak Nas language, get him to lock in. If Nas spitting like he was on Magic, I don't give a damn who making the beats. What he doing right now is unprecedented for a rapper his age. Seemed like he was winding down his career after LIG, this been a great time to be a fan compared to 2013-2019

How? You brehs need to lighten up ALC has nothing else to prove in rap terms, also his production for Benny and Cole last year was arguably the best hip hop production of the whole year, stop taking things so personally.

I ain’t taking shyt personal

We have an upcoming project co produced by both of them, let’s see who has the better pack on the album

 

[HNIC973]

12 track album produced by HB Premo ALC Metro that makes everyone happy

 

[Life is Good]

You know the opps are furious right now. The loudest and the ones complaining the most on this forum don’t even regularly comment on anything Nas related. Now y’all coming out in packs trying to shyt on Hitboy and Nas projects. We see you! The real fans don’t feed into the narrative. LET NAS COOK BECAUSE SON KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING! BET ON NAS! HE IS A TRUE ARTIST & KNOWS WHEN TO SWITCH THINGS UP!

IGNORE THEM…TRUST NAS HAS BLOCKED THEM OUT A LONG TIME AGO.

 

[Izanami]

Ugh..nygga brought up 9th Wonder.. talking one zzzzzzz ass producer. I hope that is 9th in here. Dude always has the worst songs on nyggas albums. Lol. Zzzzzzz


Rhapsody probably cries herself to sleep like why she fuhking wit him

Bringing up 9th wonder like he can produce a speechless, the cure, composure, 30, blue Benz, ugly, store run, Thun, death row East, etc for Nas is hilarious

Illmatic 2: StillMagic produced entirely by Pete Rock

 

[Pop123]

It ain't about wanting to hear Nas go back to Premo and Extra P....them dudes have been washed for years.

It's about Hitboy mid ass beats...them lame ass poor man's 9th Wonder soul loops with tinny weak drums. Poor melodies....everything midtempo.

I know some of the Nas stans on this site are fighting for their life to try and convince people he's some tier 1 great producer....but the shyt is clearly not true

His beats sound alright on the first couple of listens but the more you hear them you realize how hollow his production is.

Let's not pretend that Hitboy's beats are so next level and boundary pushing that people can't understand the brave new soundscapes Nas is rappin' on....they're some offbrand Roc-a-Fella era beats you'd hear on a Young Gunz album.

shiesh

You can’t argue with results…I mean all the albums with Hitboy are all dope albums…at least to the consensus. I wouldn’t mind hearing Nas over some new/different production besides Hitboy too tho. Not because Hitboy has done anything wrong…it’s just even too much of a great thing can get a little “Damn, again??!!?” after while. I love steak…if all I ever ate was steak I’d be craving for something/anything else tho lol. If I get steak again tho I won’t complain so yeah…if it’s another joint with Hitboy I’m a still feast regardless
