Official Nas Thread

[prophecypro]

And this is why even tonight. NaS didn't win a Grammy. His singles did not chart well. The Grammy's when it comes to Hip Hop for the most part goes with sales. "N!ggas in Paris" went 3x Platinum. "No Church in the Wild" was a huge pop hit but became a huge marketing hit with tv ads and movie commercials. "Take Care" went Double Platinum and had 4 Platinum singles and 1 Gold singles. Those are the songs the Grammy's went with. I thought they would atleast give him "Cherry wine" but "No Church" was the bigger song.

"Daughters" just didn't do well on the charts even though it got 2 Nominations and should of won one. "Life Is Good" got the critical acclaim but didn't get the sales. So NaS once again walks away grammy-less because of my statement on the top here. He just won't got all the way Pop musically. He tired with "Summer on Smash" but even then he sounded a little forced. This was never NaS lane though again he's done club bangers but not the way Jay or Biggie did them.

Which makes the Roots win in 2000 even more unique

Nas was NOT hurt the TRUTH is he has more respect for the culture, himself & his peers ("Jiggaman" included) than some of you so called hip hop fans. You nikkas spend more time dishonoring the culture, artists ("Nas Lost") & then you wonder why others outside of the genre don't show it any respect. Nas has dedicated decades to this art form and the fans of this shyt tear him down at every cost...you care more about popularity & money an artist is preceived to have than you do about the actually love for the culture. So instead of worrying about Nas being hurt...you need to figure out how to prevent this culture for being looked at as a joke to the point that the Grammy's don't even want to televise the important nominations unless they are paid to do so or to push a certain agenda. There was a REAL reason why Best Rap Collab was the only hip hop award televised. I'm hurt for Nas & hop hop because the culture is no longer highly regarded by its fans...so NO ONE gives a shyt anymore.

I GUARANTEE NAS WILL GET MORE PRESS/COVERS FOR NOT WINNING THAN THE ARTISTS THAT DID WIN!

Damn, some real ass post breh

Brehs I know this is Nasir's night but when this legendary moment happens(NO i don't think I am getting ahead of myself just like @Ziggiy I have strong faith) we have to remember to also show love to Amy.

If u don't know me by now I'll doubt you"ll ever know me,
I won't win a Tony, I won't win a Grammy,
But I'm not the only MC keepin it real

 

[prophecypro]

Have KRS, Ra and Kane won Grammy's?
I read they won for a rap record of the year for a Quincy joint, but I wanted to check this.

 

[HendriX]

We aint dead yet brehs..any hip hop fan knows LIG should have won album of the year and Cherry Wine rap/sung record of the year .

I hope this doesnt mess up the zone he was in tho..he had the look on his face.

Fukk em..

Reload this year and hit em with another classic.

 

[prophecypro]

I wish he had sold more and I wish he had more awards to show for it and yeah I expected what happened last night anyway. It would have felt good as some sort of validation to Nas' career right now and prove he's relevant and still a dope artist, but fukk it if we liked, we liked it

Life's short, enjoy the art you like
