Half way throufg the Nas MasterClass. Pretty interesting hearing his approach although none of it surprising about how he builds verses from multiple verses to make a better one. Also commented on how he changes his rhythmic patterns/ flow constantly in songs which always been something I’ve liked about Nas. The patterns he uses change like 5-10 times in one verse sometimes.
the section where he records was cool. He did the improv style of just hearing the beat rapping few bars then building the track up. Was cool seeing how he came to some of the lines he had and how lines in it got scrapped.
was also dope hearing how he focuses on the details for storytelling. Like if someone wearing a sweater what did it feel like, oh they like wine, do they have a wine cellar, is it a friend’s wine cellar, does his friend have a beard, has the beard gone grey since last year.
