Nas - The Season (full version)

- Start date
So with the exception of the Salaam Remi production for Life Is Good, all of these tracks could be available for selection for the LT2 if your theory about the Sony/Def Jam deal for Nas's first two albums on Def Jam is correct? Salaam did a lot for Street's Disciple that didn't make it and wasn't there supposed to be an Alex the Kid track that was done during the LIG sessions? I guess he does have a treasure trove of unreleased work and a second volume of LT is just not going to satisfy us who are so interested in hearing all of his work. I sure hope now that he will be on his own label, that he drop follow up volumes more regularly. I also want those LIG unreleased tracks too.
Im gonna have to one star but cool song 
Not some super spectacular sht like these Nas stans saying but cool

Nas the GOAT!! I like the production and vibe of the song, his bars were kinda lazy though, like he wrote this in about 30 minutes. that's all good though, this was a layup line joint, I know that album is gonna be championship game shyt. this song prob wont even make the album, just an appetizer

After a few days of thinking, my thing is this. Understand that this criticism is SO small. Anytime Nas and Dilla get together, it should be celebrated. Nas is bringing Dilla to some people that may not have been as familiar with his work, and I love that.
After seeing House Shoes say that Nas should just call Ma Dukes and get the beat/s that J Dilla actually made with Nas in mind leaves me wishing for a bit more, and maybe that's spoiled. Nas is great. Gobstopper is a great beat. No need to bytch and moan. It does sort of suck that it takes almost a decade after his death to get Nas on a Dilla beat that's been rapped on a LOT before, but I'm still bumping this song daily.
Here's hoping to more where this came from. Nas and Jay Dee will always be a win/win, even when it could be better.

I remember a few years ago I used to fukk with your blog and in this one post you were hyping up that Dillmatic mixtape mainly because you were excited by the prospect of a Nas x Dilla collaboration. I don't usually fukk with blends but I downloaded that shyt off the strength of your endorsement. Which is why I don't understand where all this faux outrage is coming from. You were okay with a blend but pretend to be offended when Nas decides to personally honor Dilla's legacy with a couple of original verses? nikka GTFOH. This is why I don't take nikkas like you, Elliott Wilson (the legendary sycophant) and to a lesser extent Dream Hampton (a feminist who continuously defends one of the most mysoginistic rappers in history) seriously, you're hypocrites who have no respect for journalism ethics and standards. If anything you're the one disrespecting Dilla's legacy by using his memory/name to further your vendetta against Nas.but it took him nearly a decade to get on a Dilla beat. AFTER being in the studio with Jay Elec for the better part of a year and having him play him Dilla beats. Disconnected.
OG Maco is some 'internet shyt' (like most anything that really pops off is, just the age we're in) with a cool video and some viral vines of white dads telling their kids "they guessed it!" its time to do they homework, but Nas know that about LOL. And even if he don't, someone on his team must have have heard it and be like "Yo Nas, check this dumb shyt".
I was at Droog's first show a few weeks ago in NY, and everyone was in the building. From Tamron Hall, to J-Zone, to Jon Caramancia or however you spell his name from the times, to Paul Rosenberg, to J-Zone, to 88 Keys, to hella people in the scene and industry in NY that I guess if you dont know already would be lost on you and would start to sound unnecessarily name-droppier than it already does.
The problem is, when you're a legend, and you did legendary shyt in raps 2nd golden age essentially changing the game and making EVERYONE step their game up, you prolly feel like, nah, i dont gotta pay attention to shyt cuz my place is already cemented. hooves up, grown man gut growin, putting it down for a minute. and that's fair. but the game ain't always gonna revolve around you if you don't focus. i aint mad like i used to be when i heard the news the first time, it just is what it is, and just made me look at the game a lot more realistically. no sacred cows here.
my ego's fine without all this. i been online since 93, i'm about 15 years removed from needing props online.
i'm aint got no plex, most of this is for the lulz. he's not my personal hero or nothing, i just think some of his work is rap at it's apex, and it's annoying watching that not happen, at what i feel is, consistently enough. dassit!
Comeback Season Drake would have bodied this
So if we're talking album titles am I the only one who thought Nasdaq Dow Jones was a dope title?
