I mean like actual radio type singles. Not warm up joints.
So what is the worst song on Life Is Good...

I agree with SOS being harmless. Perfect adjective.

IWW is a boring album.

I'm only ever compelled to recall 3 of those songs. I've been over this ad nauseum. IWW is the single greatest let down in all my years listening to hip hop. It's sooooo dull, trite and blah.
Blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah.

Basically..I have zero issue with Reach Out..he could've used another female aside from Mary but that shyt sound like mid 90s Nas to me...

She seems like the best woman for the job if you aren't ginna just use the New Edition sample.
Chinky killed it too on the Mobb Deep song.

Questions about Stay, which is a record I like but am frustrated with in the same breath because I don't think I understand what Nas is trying to do with the record.
That it?
Help me understand what Nas is doing with this song, brehs, because I really think I'm missing something. Or maybe I'm over-analyzing shyt.
- Anybody else confused by the aggressiveness of the second verse considering the beat is so gotdamn mellow?
- More importantly, anybody else somewhat perplexed by the subject matter of the song--the hook and reverb of "stay" doesn't give me much to work with, beside the theme being something vaguely about "staying."
- Verse 1 is largely about him staying with some sexy, scandalous woman because he can't resist her? While in the same verse warning family men who are confronted with these desperate lonely women to stay away from them because they'll break up a happy home? This just Nas saying don't be like me? And is a way of alluding to what went down between Kelis and him?
- Verse 2 is about him really hating someone but needing them to stay so they can observe his success, which he knows infuriates them...right?

...Imma go with that Mary J, Reach OutJoint.
Reach Out is cool, Nas lyrics was on point and Mary laid down a nice chorus BUT the bass on that track is unbearable. Nice classic melody sample but whomever mastered that track needs to be jet slapped.
The bass on Reach Out sounds real scratchy and amatuerish.
Summer On Smash is the obvious choice for most cats BUT for me I never hated on song. Defintiely a nice party track. The bass is what makes that song HOT.
