What these last few releases showed me. Is that alotta nikkas don’t just love Jay over Nas, they HATE Nas. nikkas literally MAD that Nas is getting any sort of praise by the public. shyt crazy.

100% facts but when you call out the obvious media bias you called a "stan" or "insecure"

I know... Joe was upset with him a few years ago tho. Good to see them back on good terms.

They was chilling together over the summer breaking ground for the hip hop museum in the BX they've been good for a while

That Wait A Minute reverb thru Ugly hook is how I felt when the beat drop

How you still aren't a fan of the versatility of hit boy over the last 3 albums is beyond me.

Like a few people have said, it's that to some he's a jack of all trades master of none. His production is a 7.5/10 to me. But the combination of the music and Nas' lyrics makes a great product. But he could be better.

But how is he a master one none when the production on on KDII and Magic is masterful?

What two videos would you want from Magic

There's not many that stand out to me these days, but that's not the point. We're talking about Hit-Boy, not other producers - and I feel that his production, while good, is sometimes too polished/robotic and lacking a certain oomph, especially in his drum choices - this sticks out even more when he does more "traditional" boom bap songs, as they don't hit quite like they should.
