Few if any can drop you into a story and establish the world, characters, hit you with the small details but also be succinct about it like this, it seems so effortless. This track like watching a mini movie unfold in your head. Classic beat from the Hitmen too

songs like this I always give nikkaz
when they claim I Am is trash. Is it uneven maybe but half the tracks on it are very good or classic Nas songs

It Was Written is triple platinum and is still your most successful album to date. And you addressed us non-believers on the next album, I Am… with “Hate Me Now.”
Absolutely. These dudes didn't want me to sell records. They wanted me to stay on an underground level, and I understand what they mean a little bit. But at the same time, Biggie made it different, where you can't just be the hot dude that they liked from New York to Connecticut to Virginia. You got to hit the mainstream. You got to touch the world

I was replying to someone who said they wished Elliot hadn’t conducted the interview because of his bias and I just said “Elliot actually admitted he was wrong regarding his initial impression of IWW. Better late than never”.
He retweeted that.
I also hit Coop and Mike on According 2 Hip Hop because they called out the actual review about a month ago on their podcast. Most of the media they’ve been calling out lately have magically been starting to give Nas his flowers.
1). Nas is 100% right. Steve Stoute said the same thing regarding when he and Nas started working together. nikkas wanted Nas to stay on some “Your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper” shyt and never make any real money and he had to convince Nas that he was a star.
2). Nas invoking Biggie lends credence to Questlove’s story about Nas losing to Big at The Source awards really changing his perspective about the industry.

Yep Blaze a 50 Fetus Game lives on aka Project Windows was on Clue Cutmaster C mixtapes in like 98. Great for us in hindsight
Coop & Mike see the shyt that goes on. They do a good job looking at shyt objectively. I don't agree with all their takes but they are knowledgeable do the research

They wanted him to be OC (no disrespect to him). And even OC has mainstream records/singles they bytch about. The wildest shyt is seeing these losers to this day try to shyt on If I Ruled the World. Flip side a couple years ago Questlove was out here trying to argue that Sunshine is a good song and Jay should feel better about it (apparently Jay hates it). Hilarious. If you like Sunshine fine whatever, but imagine thinking that's cool but If I Rule The World is some mainstream sin.
Sunshine is GARBAGE and not because its commercial, because its truly a TRASH ASS song.
