Nas - NASIR (Discussion Thread)

[Tunez]

I see where ya found the album at

I’m not really getting the first part of what you wrote ... why do you think his opinion isn’t fair again? Are you saying this record stacks up with some of his best work?

Cause its the same generic argument of people wanting him with the same producers of Illmatic, I think the stuff that No ID did on his last album and the sample based stuff Kanye did here has that asthetic feel and isnt any worse than what those producers were and are doing now

Ok, how about just release just one song, Mike. Just like give us each song as they're done. I need just one hit.

 

[Soundbwoy]

I have yet to hear it

Yeah but Nas was aggressive as fukk on Untitled and was lyrically assassinating damn near every track

Bonjour is riding music tho

Untitled was like 10 years ago of course he's not gonna have the same aggression like he did then.

[Figaro]

Y'all nikkas are bugging in here, getting mad because other people are not liking it

I haven't listened to the LP yet though but if you like the album, chill & bump it, b....who gives a fukk what somebody else thinks

yeah he's not lyrically at his best. At this point i think Hov is a notch better. Nas still dope tho. And i like Nas more...

Sit down somewhere, reviewing off a fukking YouTube stream smh

All 4 are mediocre to me. I can name 7 tracks off Ghetto Dope that are way better.

I don't know why people keep using that argument. Premier hasn't had a placement on a Nas album in almost 20 years, Large Professor hasn't done production work for Nas in that same timeframe, and unless I'm missing something, Pete Rock has only done one song for Nas. ONE. And that was 24 years ago.

Meanwhile, I never hear people say that Eminem should be working with Dre or the Bass Brothers again, even though he should.

Jesus don’t say that lol

It’s true.

LIG and 4:44 - Personal, reflective introspection, lyrically crazy (Also No I.D. influence)

MCHG and Nasir - grandiose production, laid back/cruise control rhyming
