The Needle Drop reviews: Nas - Life Is Good

[Big Mel]

i told them the same shyt a few months back about Wackmasterz work for Kane, G Rap & Chubb.


I then told them IWW was reactionary to Ready To Die. These stans are so resistant to fact.

 

[Hannibal Fox]

Did I just see a Howie T reference damn I must be getting up there in age if I can remember who that is.

Edit:

Since when was Rolling Stone the go to for Rap reviews?

I'll never forget how they shytted on KRS and spun around sucked off RATM.

Some of you lot are to young to remember that though.

 

[Mike Otherz]

I dunno...

That picture is PRETTY swaggerful...smug prick swag...

But seriously:

this the kind of dude Hip Hop Connection magazine would hire back in the days. Troll like attention hungry critics with faux controversial opinions. cynical crap basically. for me to rate a critic i need to know dudes history. All music is political. and if a cac is blindly into living out some black male outlaw violence fantasy, later for that. i basically trust no cac that cosigned odd future.

 

[Art Barr]

to smack you goof lame stans some more.

who want to credit trackmaster/wackmasters with g rap.

these nikkaz were in ny and don't even know g rap's or ll's history.

yet quoting crash crew, and nas erroneously:

Trackmasters Tell All: The Stories Behind Their Classic Records (Part 1)

“We also tried to incorporate original hip-hop. If you listen to original hip-hop—like Crash Crew and all those guys—they were all singing. So we tried to incorporate that type of feel on record. It*isn’t*that they’re trying to be Luther*Vandross, they’re just harmonizing. They’re giving melody to the record. So you can sing along when the hook comes, as opposed to just being on stage and pointing the finger and trying to just rhyme. You get the audience interaction when they can sing the record along with you.”


yet sniffing up g rap's ass, and don't even know silver fox, and from ny.

right in the essence and could learn the history of ll & g rap there in the studio.

to know that the mentor of g rap and ll was ruined by sugar hill and crash crew.

the same mentor of g rap and ll.

i personally thanked for his contribution to hiphop and created a myspace for to exclusively thank him for.

SILVER FOX

unkut.com – A Tribute To Ignorance (Remix)


"Fantasy Three was me, Charlie Rock and Larry D. We had an independent label, we was on Specific Records. We did a record called ‘It’s Your Rock’, and what got us over was OC’s remix on the b-side. So now people playin’ the b-side and all I had to do was go, ‘Silver Fox! Silver Fox! Silver Fox!’ So now I could go to clubs with two of those and I’m rapping off of my beat that I had. I’m taking that and I’m running with it. Now the Trash Crew are biting off us. When they came out with that song ‘On The Radio’, it was the same music. I sat with Pumpkin and him and I actually constructed this music, so I know every note, every key, every drum beat. And these guys, the Crash Crew, they had our original music! I couldn’t fathom for the life of me how they got it. So we formed our own label – CCL Records – which was what our next record was on. It was called ‘Biters In The City’.

just to prove to you,..how much more real i am than you noob stans and toys.

i am the truth there staring back at you.

 

[Hannibal Fox]

Apparently Silver Fox has an album dropping soon.

 

[Art Barr]

my original link to the letter to fox from a link. before i tracked him down to myspace

Silver Fox – Renegade Rouge (Live in Atlantic City circa 1990) « GRANDGOOD

just to show you how much more real i am about this culture than you toys.

then i resourced some more.

so it was not just a link he would not get.

i contacted him personally, via myspace.

which is the only reason i ever registered to myspace.

as i would have never had or cared about a personal nt frontpage extension built webspace.

without a real domain name linker to real professional coded and programmed site.

as i was in the isp business and fully understand the stigma of that type of errant launch professionally at the time.

yet, to thank a legend from the culture, that meant a lot to me.

i went beyound my professional and administrative comfort zone.

As a ceo and artist to personally thank him.

regardless of the noob ignorant scrutiny of the creation of the site.

in what was and is deemed an outdated service.

i put myself out there to thank this legend.

the sellout ptoducers of nas,..did not even know about and were actually in the damn studio with ll and g rap.

"IWW" shyts all over "Ready To Die". Besides that "Ready To Die" was pretty gritty as well. Biggie's most popular songs were R&B jacks and the most succesful of them all wasn't even on the album.

hey Big Mel and Art Barr, can NAs do anything to win back your confidences? I don't think he has a chance with Art Barr, thats some scorned lover type psychology going on within Art and Nas. ( i say that with respect cause i respect Arts knowledge and ability to not fall for hype in this era of fanboys gone wild)

Big Mel seems like there is a chance with you? someone said you gave this album between 3.5 and 4 mics. thats a solid rating, if Nas from here on out gives you that level, would you put him back in your cannon of greats? its not like the Nas story is over.

hhc is the only full alltime credible publications in the world for rap and hiphop.

so you already exposed yourself as being ignorant to the real.

as many would never understand paying ten dollars plus for an import mag.

yet the reason why it was important.

was it gave the worldly perspective of how untainted the culture was in another land.

away from commercialism,..and staying true.

to the real cultural history of hiphop.

no disrespect but you have to remain true.

Juicy wasn't a R&B jack?

Big Poppa wasn't a R&B jack?

And his golden child "One More Chnace" remix wasn't an R&B jack?

fukk outtahere.

 

[Juliano Soprano]

Who in here is denying Nas "sold out" with IWW? Nas himself said that he went that route so he can get that paper. That don't mean that IWW was not dope as fukk. Jay sold out with Blueprint, the shyt's a classic. Biggie the same and You guys may not believe this but IWW is a classic, sell out or not.

Long story short, I ain't mad he reviewed the album and shat on it. We all humans with different opinions, why be mad at his. The part that irks me is him tryna give the history on Nas' career like he a hip-hop historian, so much false statements in that overview it was obvious he NEVER really listened (he probably played it, but never listened) to Illmatic let alone his other albums and it was also obvious that he don't know Nas' musical history. He just plucked talking points from the Hipster hip-hop manual and ran with it. His review lost all weight from the jump.

Big Mel and Art Barr co-signing ol' boy but convieniently overlooking the flaws in that is crazy because they supposed to be some Hip-Hop heads from back in the day yet they don't smell the funk

I don't think he's built properly to provide classic material anymore. He can certainly keep dropping listenable albums. I don't ever see myself loving a Nas album again though. If this is the closest he can come then he's still way off for my tastes.


A song like 'world I an addiction' should never have even been recorded its so bad. I can forgive generic shyt like summer on smash as radio pandering but he tried to make a statement with that Hamilton shyt and failed miserably.
