The beat for The cross is sooo fukking garbage IMO

[Mystic]

Sound like Eminem brought a $60 Casio from Toys R Us and press the button that plays a generic rap beat and he added drums to it

 

[Deltron]

nas rapping about weak beats from corny producers on this track was always

the cross god step son >>


and I think the homie @TheDarceKnight mentioned that his homie heard this beat started rapping moment of clarity of TBA cause the beat sounded similar to the cross

 

[JMD]

Em gotta be one of the worst producers from beats like this and what he did to Pacs Life

 

[Chip Skylark]

Yeah Eminem Casio piano beats were terrible

 

[Deltron]

he did loyal to the game

but it was that and pac's life that killed any future releases both were such bad albums

yeah you right about that, Pacs Life was around ‘06 or so

 

[Yecht]

It's the CAC version of the bed creeking sound in the Trillville video

 

[Metal Face]

"yall can keep your wack beats from your corny producers"

 

[Kenyan West]

Anyone who defends the cross beat is a cac.

I thought the way the story went is that ‘Em gave Nas his trash beats on purpose, because originally Em thought Nas was asking him for a collab track like Renegade with Hov, but Nas was on some “nah I don’t want a verse I just want a beat”

Em felt dissed by that so he sent Nas some of his trashest beats and Nas picked The Cross out of the bunch

 

[Armchair Militant]

It is. Nas made it into a good song though

 

[Artificial Intelligence]

I like the song tho so who cares
Nas has so many songs with trash beats that are classic

 

[neomerge]

I always liked this beat. I'm a cac tho.

Im a big fan of Nas and Em, but this sounds like a revisionist delusion.

I remember when some Em fans were claiming Encore was a stunt pulled by Em to fukk with the industry and that in a few weeks he would be releasing the "real album" featuring the skill level of his first three albums/8 Mile OST.

Sounds like that.

True.

But it setup 9th to lace it us the real version of The Cross.
