Rory ask Mal and Mecca what are the bad beats Nas picks and they couldn’t name one

[TheNig]

If we're talking a GOAT-level rapper that picks bad beats, we all know Eminem is the king.

shyt be sounding crazy cartoonish.

 

[28 Gramz]

This entire album, aside from a handful of records, had some really bad beats.

Might be his worst body of work outside of Nastradamus. I remember deleting 80% of it after 2 listens.

nikkas in here acting oblivious to Nas having bad production is hilarious.

 

[Heretic]

a slept on banger

Sound like some shyt you hear on CSI Miami when they transition from they little laboratory in the back of a converted food truck to downtown Miami where David Caruso somewhere on the strip with a button up shirt with palm trees all over it trying to find clues and pulling some cheap ass sunglasses out his shirt pocket.

 

[Yayo Toure]

Nas has never been carried by the beat of a song(except Oochie Wallie which isn't even his song).

 

[Sound (∀√a) Maths]

"nikkas been hating me since I been nine
Shining with suede motherfukking Bally's on and silks
I'ma always be the young don
Don't be like the nikkas on the other side
Hating me 'cause I'm beautiful"

And it has continued with folks having nothing else to discredit him with so they bring up tired arguments with no merit (analyse everyone else).

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Outside of “Jarreau Of Rap”, I couldn’t personally name any cause if they were bad, I never listened to them again after the first listen.

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Nas’ voice dictates the sound of songs more than the beats, which is how it should be.

 

[7th Letter Specialist]

This beat was always hard to me...the whole Paul Revere homage was on brand for a Remi n Nas collab And Nas flow and rhyming on this shyt was crazy

I love that beat. It IS weird asf tho lol.

 

[Surreal]

Mane this started from Pete Rock and Nas not working with him post-Illmatic

 

[L $ C]

This is one of the worst beats in hip hop history

but a GREAT nas verse

 

[tuckgod]

It’s not over blown they just have horrible taste in music

 

[The Dust King]

This entire album, aside from a handful of records, had some really bad beats.

im curious what are the worst beats to you on the lp

top 4

 

[ThirdAct]

I've said this a million times, but Nas' problem was never beat selection. It was track selection. That period from Street's Disciple to Untitled had great unreleased music. The original version of "America" with the David Bowie sample is way better than the version that made the album.

But this hasn't been an issue for almost twenty years, so I don't know why it gets brought up now. If we're talking a GOAT-level rapper that picks bad beats, we all know Eminem is the king.

100%. I think that was his real Achilles heel for a minute as opposed to beat selection. So many good songs that didn't make albums.

 

[ThirdAct]

The narrative does not hold up
