Nas - NASIR (Discussion Thread)

[PoorAndDangerous]

The ghetto Othello the moor

Ghetto Othello, Sugar Hill Romello
Camaro driven, I climax from paper
Then ask: "Why is life worth living?"
Is it to hunt for the shyt that you want?
To receive's great, but I lust giving
The best jewelers wanna make my things
I make Jacob shyt on Lorraine just to make me a chain

THE GOAT

Bonjour sounds like an orgasm...

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

This is BEAUTIFUL music brehs

I’m 100% satisfied. Glad we waited for six years and that Nas was allowed to cook this up HIS way and do what HE wanted.

I don’t EVER wanna hear another “Nas should do this with THAT producer because it worked 20 years ago” type bullshyt argument ever again.

Nas does what Nas wants. And musically speaking, we are all the better for it.


Everything is my shyt.

Keep doing you Nas. We appreciate it

EXACTLY.

We love dude cause he went to hell for snuffing Jesus when most dudes from that era were on some lyrical miracle shyt. His greatness comes from doing what he thinks is dope, not what we think is dope.

Also, I’ll take lyrical NaS over nice flow, empty bars, Nastradamus NaS any day.

He killed this shyt. And you can tell giving him great production mattered to Kanye, even when it didn’t always mesh seamlessly.

That beat on Simple Things is heavenly. Beat/Tempo reminds me of Celebration for some reason.

So is this better than Daytona?? If so I'm not sure my body is quite ready yet just getting some drinks in me now bumping this apollo brown joint I'm scared

 

[Rigby.]

in-fukking-credible production from Ye. if he does astro world and comes correct with that, it might be time to put him back in GOAT producer convo.

That's from Rich and Black Right? NAS be low-key namedropping a lot of Shakespeare like when he said he grinded his bones smoked it and got in the game. Pretty sure I heard him name drop Macbeth too. Most educated dropout of all time

Bonjour is so damn fancy. :kellywow:

 

[S.W.A.G.]

Bonjour - when those strings hit!! Kanye is a real one.... Song reminds me on the best moments of Streets Disciple/Hip Hop is Dead...Can't Forget About You vibes

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

This is literally the clearest sounding album ive ever heard. Voices sound so crisp, snares and beats very sharp.

Anyone listening to this on subpar headphones is doing themselves a disservice.

Kanye is a fukking audio genius.

 

[Yecht]

Let's see who is real and who is fake

 

[Fctftl]

Skullcandy Crushers

Audio-Technica ATH-M50x

Audio Technica ATH-AD700X

[CouldBeWorse]

Listened to the first track on Spotify, the mixing is awful

That's from Success off AG. I always said Nas was the modern day Shakespeare. Dude is a true poet.
