Nas- Magic 3 Discussion Thread

[Ziggiy]

Speaking of Salaam, he said on hot 97 this that he has retired from music. He said he wanted to stop when he turned 50

Does he just DJ now?

Oh he was talking about himself?
I thought he was saying Nas is done.

He lives in Miami and runs a small Hip Hop Musesum/Art Gallery.

Mick Jenkins sounds like the name of a late 80's WWF wrestler

One of them jobbers that was in the ring already rocking a mullet.

That makes me know that......they had the right idea in the beginning, and all they had to do was elevate. See, what they do is, they have certain formulas. They have certain formulas, they just update 'em.....with the times, and everything. So, the style of the rhymes is elevated, the style of the beats is elevated. But it's still Nas and Hit-Boy. And there's always a message involved.

Dope.


Although I don’t believe the retirement talk lol. NO musician ever truly retires. I’m sure he’d do a beat or two for an artist he highly respects

Jesus christ


Meanwhile you Nas fanboys will call this basic ass shyt a classic





Just listen to the weak ass snare on this shyt....sounds like he recorded these drums over a cellphone speaker....he woulda been better off just getting somebody to beatbox

Beats are dope. They could be mixed better

And honestly I wasn't even all that a fan of Salaam's beats for Nas. They had a few joints together, but, aside from Hit Boy, I'd rather see Nas work with the cats from the Stillmatic/ God's Son era.
Large Pro, Primo, LES, The Hitmen and the Alchemist of that ERA ! (when he was lacing Nas with like Mastermind, Book of Rhymes and My Way)

U know Salaam did more beats for Nas in that era than the producers u stated right?
Salaam started workin with nas from Stillmatic till LIG.
But Salaam like LES and Trackmasters had the most tracks produced for Nas b4 Hitboy.
Im not one of those dudes who want Nas back with Salaam/Premo/Large Pro type!

But to set the record straight Salaam has a large chunk of tracks in Nas's classics folder.....
