They gave it great reviews

I just don’t watch them no more bro. Based on other shyt.

Jay Z still has people that disrespect him. I mean, there's memes made out of that whole situation of him being kicked in that elevator by Solange. He caught heat for his comments about Kap. People even came at him for having anything to do with the NFL.

BeyHive is painted as toxic, they strike no fear in the media as the media is the entity who painted them as toxic. They are only known for bullying artists who came at Beyonce. They haven't done anything of significance except make Keri Hilson threaten to leave social media.

Point is, NOBODY is powerful enough to stop the media from disrespecting them. To amplify that point, the media publishes all kinds of disrespect on Presidents with no repercussions. What makes you think they fear entertainers or their respective fan bases?

This is turning into arguing just to argue.
You bringing up presidents. Might as well bring up athletes. They get disrespected too in abundance.

This is the music business. Things run a lil different
I can't make you see where I'm coming from.

I saw how suge knight was covered in the media in real time when deathrow was running shyt.
The trepidation was definitely there

Replay value on this is crazy. To think its just to feed the buzz


Goat talk

I'm so glad Nas don't listen to any of you nikkas lol. Yall really want a nikka that's damn near 50, that's rich as fukk, that's probably the most respected rapper by his peers and the like, that has millions of fans that thinks he's the greatest to care about some weirdo write-ups and articles? The only reason Nas is the greatest is because he didn't listen to his weirdo stans and critics. Shoutout to him. Plus, he himself thinks he's the greatest. Hov would reach out and make people reach out because he's unsure of himself. He always has been, so he looks for acceptance from everyone. If yall can't win yall little Nas is the greatest arguments because of some white boy articles at Pitchfork and Rolling Stone, that's on yall and says more about you

It’s ugly
It’s ugly
Sh*t is ugly

The bounce on Hollywood Gangster is something else.

I was checking out Cordae’s album for the first time because GOAT was supposed to be on a song with Stevie Wonder but I guess his verse was removed




Pleasant surprise is that Cordae can actually rap. His performance on Life Is Like A Dice Game wasn’t a fluke

That's the only song you ever heard him on? Damn!

I don’t usually fukk with the new generation of rappers they do nothing for me. But if Nas was willing to put Cordae on a song of his before Drake, Kendrick, Cole, Blu, Lupe, etc. then I figured the kid must have SOME talent and I wasn’t wrong. This guy put together a great album.


I wonder what happened to Nas verse though because the song he was supposed to be on would have fit him PERFECTLY

Bruh Cordae been nice. Lol.

 

[H.S.]

Nas so goddamn cold!!!!

I don't even think people really understand "Hollywood Gangsta"

Dude shouts out the young New York dudes on their drill shyt first....

Kicks real life/nikka shyt on the 1st verse....

Proceeds to describe two sides of his life that we can see "hood/Hollywood"... in one fukkin song


and then ends the song with a chuckle and saying I'm the opposite of that


the fukking Golden Child of rapping and GOAT

I love this joint. Especially the way he starts both verses. Velour fashions, world tour jackets...

@T.he I.nformant that was a fire breakdown. You gotta do one for Hollywood Gangster and Dedicated too.

I love Hollywood Gangsta.. I feel like it's the most overlooked song on the album.. That flow was special..

Yea like I said I don’t check for the new generation unless I randomly hear them on someone else’s song/project and their dope enough for me to follow up. All I knew about Cordae before this year was that he was dating Naomi Osaka. But he impressed me on Life is Like A Dice Game. And he sounded very intelligent on Nas’s podcast interview.


I’ll be checking for him from now on

This is now my second favorite Nas album.

It’s perfect.

This man really dropped the proper sequel to Illmatic out of nowhere.
