Nas - NASIR (Discussion Thread)

[JJ Evans]

It's a fukkin disgrace game wasnt nominated for a Grammy. Both those albums were remarkable. Easily the best work of his career.

They gave Kendrick the Grammy that year because they got too much criticism for giving it to Macklemore over him the year before.

If not for the bullshyt politics, I completely agree that Documentary 2/2.5 was definitely the Rap AOTY that year.

I think that anyone disputing that haven’t actually listened to that double CD.

The first line he spits sets it off who he's writing for

Exactly, they trying to Hyman Roth him

Nas – ‘Nasir’ review

I've never seen album reviews where a rapper get criticized because he didn't address a certain topic on his album?

Nas needs to be rappin over beats like this. Matter of fact he should just let the game executive produce his next album. Game got one of the best ears for beats, especially when it comes to nas. Every game/nas collab is classic. Game is a true nas stan...he always tries to get nas on beats that fit him perfectly. Kanye tries to make every album he produces sound like his own.



Nas fukkin murdered this shyt. Now THIS was prime nas level .......you can tell that beat triggered something in him.

That song is old...Nas can’t flow like that anymore

Did anyone, that ordered the Nasir album and digital download, receive them email with the digital download yet? I’m ready to reach out to them like WTF!

Lowest score is Stillmatic?

Good reason right there to never pay attention to this shyt.

HOW ?! easily Nas's second best album

 

[Tim Lord]

Took this in over the weekend.

Its cool. Its not what I wanted from Nas, but overall, I like it and its growing on me.

I dont like Everything. Annoying chorus, takes too long to start, Nas sounds too preachy. I skip it every time.


Ye laced him with good beats. Nas didnt come correct.

3/5

Yeah I’m sure she knows what nas is and rocked Ilimatic

End of the day, Nas don't owe anybody a response/"explanation" to the Kelis bullshyt. And if he did offer a response, these fukkin' social media SJW's would just dissect it all day long. It's a lose/lose situation for him, unfortunately. Not that I think he really gives a fukk about reviews, anyway.

Also the fukkin' Kelis shyt only came out like a month ago. It's highly possible he recorded his vocals before she did that interview. fukk is wrong with these dumb ass internet media types these days? They never do their research.
