Official Nas Thread

[JMurder]

I like Salaam's beats and his production brings out the best of Nas, lyrically.

Made you look
Thiefs theme
What goes around
Street's disciple
Where Y'all At

He was not all over HHID or Untitled. The Salaam hate just became the cool thing to do.

No...he WAS all over Street's Disciple tho

I'm not gonna lie, he has some bangers with Nas...but the bad/bland beats are more numerous than the good ones. I don't even really like the beat on Nasty & The Don but Nas saves the tracks for me

 

[H.S.]

Salaam produced some bangers on Streets Disciple.

Salaam produced some bangers on Streets Disciple.

Nazereth Savage, Message to the Feds, Sekou Story, You Know My Style, Street's Disciple, War, Theif's Theme...

Chucky Thompson and LES made all the clunkers; they pretty much ruined that album. Add in the fact that Gnarz scrapped Serious and Talk of New York (both absolute bangers), and it's pretty apparent Remi should have been more involved in that project.

Brief interview on the album
Nas Speaks On Life Is Good (Video) | 2dopeboyz

Nas sounds focused as hell, and truly seems intent on making this a work of art. I can't wait. I'm also very curious about the various tracks that won't make the album.

So I asked one of the people that attended the listening session about Summer on Smash

@TheThoughtful1 Is Summer on Smash ft Miguel/Swizz track dope or weak? Some Nas fans are concerned that it ends up ruining the album lol

@cuz4mvp it seemed to flow pretty well to me however there was a break leading up to playing the record. We'll see when it drops

Salaam Remi on 'Thief's Theme' vs 'Hip Hop Is Dead' (Interview) - YouTube

Always thought HHID was very weak compared to Thief's Theme. SD was doomed to be worse than GS with that double disc concept though.

Still, that first disc idea

That album as originally conceived...

Can you imagine an album with...

Thief's Theme
Serious
Talk of New York
Disciple
You Know My Style
Nazareth Savage
Just a Moment
Message to the Feds
Sekou Story
Live Now
Street's Disciple
Suicide Bounce
UBR
(Probably a couple other joints left in the vault)

I know I've chided people for their wanting to "executive produce" Nas's shyt, but gotdamn, we've all probably done it after hearing the shyt that doesn't make the album

It's difficult to comprehend that Nas's discography would somehow have been iller had some of the projects not leaked and/or had he went with the original vision he had for his projects

That's why I hope he is able to keep releasing Lost Tapes because I'm sure he's sitting on a mountain of gems
