What is your favourite hook of this 3 album run?

Death row east is such a dope hook to me.

The pressure - God son across the belly.lol

Speechless is another great one.

The truth......simple but effective

Just a few that come to mind.

"Car #85" sticks with you the first time you hear it. Very special.

"Replace Me" grew on me and it has one of the catchiest hooks in Nas' catalog.

"Spicy" turns me into an idiot because I have to dance to it. :russ:

"The Pressure" and "Death Row East" have great hooks. "Moments," for sure. "Brunch on Sundays," of course.

"Meet Joe Black" and "40-16 Building" are hard. Even on "40-16 Building," Nas has to repeat what he just said because it's that dope. I just got the "I don't bang, but I'm making that cryp/Crip" line yesterday. :mjlol:

Does the article say he’s still his manager? Maybe the headline is off.



Anthony Saleh oversees a growing venture-capital fund at the former Hollywood chief’s WndrCo, after its Quibi video app collapsed. He also works with the rapper Nas.




This is as far as I got before the paywall hit but it clearly says he still works with Nas.

Nas (the non business man) knows how to spot talent. And knows how to build a team.

Anthony wings is obviously expanding. And Nas not trying to limit his reach. Probably with the understanding hey any good deal you run across, make sure you run that shyt by me

Alori Joh's passing completely changed his drive/music, I have joints off These Days, and Do What Thou Wilt but conceptually and sonically they just ain't Control System or Longterm Mentality

Man I was a big Soul fan but he dropped the ball. Like you said, the concepts were there but the execution wasn’t. And he started going further into that demonic sh*t so I couldn’t rock with it lol
