That is, one of the most cringe worthy performances ever comitted to wax by Nas. fukkin melodrama over a Phil Collins sample. Absolutely disgusting.

That shyt was ham-fisted as fukk. 100% cheese.

Everything about these statements is :mindblown: to me.

I guess you just look for different things out of Hip-Hop than I do. I LIKE some weightiness to it.

But whatever.

I'm 35. You think I was riding a goofy ass huffy in middle school? I was on trains, buses, mountain bikes, rides, walking...

Again, don't assume I'm like you. I'm not.

Hold up what the fukk? Huffy is a brand of bike and they make mountain bikes.

which artists do people here listen to when their albums drop?

Like entire albums.

Maybe I have my head in the sand...but who's getting their albums analyzed like this one?

Nobody fukked with Huffy the brand though

Around my way it was all about GT, Haro, Mongoose, Dyno, BMX etc. - Huffys weren't even worth stealing fam.

:stopitslime: One Mic is just corny. Doo Rags is 900 million times the song One Mic is and it has the "weightiness" you love.

:what:
are you saying got urself a... isn't a hot song that bears repeating in 2012? yikes breh i don't wanna live in your world

I thought Got Yourself was terrible...one of the only blemishes on Stillmatic

I thought it was pretty apparent Nas was trying to cash in on The Sopranos hype at the time. That record aged horribly too.

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
The huge lift was speaking to astute fans then ability to knock song well produced Nas again. Those radio sheep think Got Urself A... And One Mic were good records. Stop playing dumb.

Gods Stepson was good but it overall was NOT better than the original records...ESPECIALLY the Alchemist produced tracks...only songs flat out better was The Cross and Warriors Song...Get Down was on par but not better...and Last Real nikka Alive was on par but not better...I Can COULD'VE been better than the original cause the sample was crack but he fukked it up wit the drums...the original Made You Look was FLAT OUT better than 9ths version...he didn't even remake all the songs on God's Son...I still like God's Stepson...mixture of both those wouldve been a classic...

not to be disrespectful to my brothers of other races.... but i take with a grain a salt anyone who doesn't really live that hiphop life. Or really can decipher what Nas' talks about when reviewing his albums. If nas sampling melle mel is corny to you then I don't know what to say, you don't love hiphop. If you think a dope beat has to sound like bmf or need synthesizers you just aren't completely immersed in the culture. SOMEONE has to rep for the bboys... someone has to bless us with breakbeats. shyt is real, someone has to spit with a conviction in hiphop and be the journalist of hiphop fam and that person when it comes to rhymes is NaS. Lastly if you say NaS is boring you should really look at what excites you. If its just p*ssy,weed, & alcohol I say to you this... YOU ARE BORING. you are the simple one life is WAY bigger then that. Chastising someone for actually having something to say is kind of sad, and the music that people think is the shyt now will only get worst and worst because y'all don't recognize revolutionary music or support anyone that takes chances unless they have a million dollar pr campaign.
