Never seen it.
Still trying to catch up on the fukkery that is Sons of Anarchy while studying for this Bio-chemistry test.
Had a few beers but was just looking for someone to argue with as a break.

Drake supposedly knocking down a gang of p*ssy out here in LA. He's the Manchurian rapper.

LOL.
It's called a "beard" or self-denial. Dude's just too sensitive.
I don't know a bad Stevie Wonder song but you're probably better versed in his music than I am.
I only have two of his albums.

Outside of a lot of genres, there were shytty ass songs by great artists.

The most annoying fans on this forum are Drake stans, let's get that straight right now.
It's not a hypothetical overall. Different forums attract different people. KTT has plenty of insane stans of every rapper, and overall I think that's how most fanbases are. The Coli is more laid back and less centralized around individual rappers until something big happens (album releases, single releases, etc). Nas has the only official thread. Those are facts breh.
Again, I'm not coming at anyone. I respect everyone here, my rep proceeds me. And I'll kick some real shyt here: I do agree Nas has essentially been using gimmicks for his albums. HHID is a very uneven project that is at best average, at worse bad. It has some horrible beats, including one from Chris Webber iirc. I don't understand how someone can listen to so much old music yet be unable to pick groovy, funky, noteworthy, etc production. I mean come on....
And it worked: the album sold well. He did the same with Untitled and it also sold well despite having puzzling production.
My view of Nas is that he's my favorite rapper, I definitely believe he makes the best case of being the GOAT...but he is also a rapper with the most unforced errors of all time. This is a guy who had Premo, Tip, and Pete Rock all worshiping him as a god. Go back and watch some old interviews of them, and how they talk about Nas in awe. Notice how a lot of producer talk about him like that. Yet instead of basing his career around mining them for dope production he treated production like it didn't matter. "Oh, Steve Stoute thinks this is hot? Aite." It worked for It Was Written...and you could argue half of I Am had great to decent production. Nastradamus? Ehhh. Stillmatic was full of dope beats but still had a couple duds where you gotta think why didn't he call up Havoc, Tip, Pete Rock...even Swizz..
What happened with SD, HHID and Untitled. Big Def Jam budget, albums sold well, so why did he apparently put no emphasis on securing heat? I don't get it. Smartest thing Hov did was secure a dope production crew from the crew, and develop it. It's like making sure your baseball team got a good bullpen.
What's hilarious is that I got killed for saying all of the exact same things about Nas. It's like you're enough of a Nas stan where people won't get upset if you say it...like how no one gets upset when I would be the one calling out Kobe. Breh, there about 9 legit Drake fans on this board and they didn't do shyt to anyone until Drake consistently got shytted on here....their entire anti-Kendrick shyt is a response (and I dont een fukk with drake like THAT). The thing is, I think a lot of the shyt people find annoying, you guys don't realize are annoying. Innocuous comments become annoying if they're repeated ad nauseum and as gospel. (Insert rapper thread here)--->(insert Nas stans proselytizing).
As for Nas--he's one of my 3 favorite rappers of all time (largely because I was raised on him and spent all of middle school listening to him), but I haven't found myself revisiting most of his work post-God's Son. I think the first rule of music is for it to be engaging (no matter what you rap about) and Nas fails to pique my interest more often than not since around 2008. But I rate albums and music as objectively as possible based on what the artist is trying to get across and the execution. So I can't say he's made bad music (Untitled, LIG), it's just not for me (though I do regularly play a few LIG tracks).

Can you admit that Cormega can't rap and the only reason you hype him is his content, nostalgic production and under dog status?
I have a hard time believing he just dropped what many of yall have described as the album of the year.. But I chalk it up to you having different tastes and not some cult like brainwashed Stan agenda...
I think its odd that yall make the leap from
1. I personally think something is wack.
to
2. Anyone that disagrees has an ulterior motive
Unless yall really hate Nas (which is perfectly acceptable) I don't get it...
You think he's taking shine away from more deserving artists on here? Cool..Well name em and lets have that conversation..
But if you come at the king, you better not miss

Mel is a hipster... Not in the, ride your unicycle to your Williamsburg coffee shop stereotypical sense but dude is pretty much the white version of Wacky D...
The type of dude that will argue you down that Drag On was way better than DMX just because he's bored...
You should never take him too seriously, just enjoy the satire and irony

I can tell you Cormega is a tremendous rapper. When I hear him rap I get chills. Me thinks you have them thar southern ears (which you'll admit) and a built in Nas protection mechanism that hinders, dims & ultimately renders your analysis useless.
Now, the Nas songs in question?
