Tanasia is average for a RZA beat..this comes no close to anything on SUPREME CLIENTELE!
Exactly he starts out congratulating him for makin it out in the beginning.....brehs light on the listening comprehensionnot what he was saying.
he's talking about people that grow disconnected from their roots get distant and look down on their own folk.
how could you miss the whole point![]()

I dunno you only breh struggling with it. Pretty straight forward
he's attacking character flaws not the act of progression.
song gives several examples and isn't about one person or scenario.
first verse old neighbourhood acquaintance.
later on he's talking about an older head civil rights era dude.
concepts... we've all met these types

You believing Nas is a better storyteller than Ghost is fine. They're both great storytellers...two of the best storytellers to ever do it. It's up to preference. My issue is you saying that Ghost would've jumped on that track and been all over the place, which sounds stupid and makes me know that you're not too familiar with his music. I can post a litany of Ghost concept tracks where he not only adheres to the concept but he gets as creative as anybody could wish a MC to get on a storytelling track. But I won't derail the thread.
And East definitely better than Lupe. It is what it is.

now you trolling... good day sir
Yeah I get it. I just thought he could have made his point clearer. The first verse sounds petty, and overall it just sounds vague so his references to college degrees and somebody suggesting black people vote don't sit very well.
I think this is an ongoing problem with Nas making social commentary/political songs, he's usually not good at it. Most of the album is great though, so a few songs I don't like doesn't bother me.
