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.

I haven't read through this entire thread yet, and maybe you answered it already, but how much of the problem to you attribute to his production choices?

you dont have an actual track record or cultural respect as a bboy. you know if i google search "bboy" and "art barr", the only results are online forums posts by yourself professing to be a bboy.

plus i thought you were a pook now who spends all day banging dimes and saving up dough to buy a car. but i guess that occurs when your not out in the community centre teaching shorties how to top rock and do windmills.


Top lock, huh? You cornball.

All of it. I've been critical of like 5 songs on the album and it is all production based or due to a sappy, schmaltzy vibe.

again? bytch who the fukk was talking to you? I obviously said "art barr" in my post, not "big melanie"

but i know i know, you cant let someone diss your boyfriend now can you. i know you and art barr is BFF and be down at the YMCA teaching homeless kids how to backspin and do the six step and that nas betrayed hip-hop and needs to be brought down a notch (even though you claim to have bought LIG, which i dont actually believe and know that you only said it to gain credibility, and you also said its a 3.5 - 4 mic album but stay shytting on it).

art barr

no, the fact that i can recall that you call yourself a pook and a bboy has nothing to do with the culture of hiphop and everything to do with the fact that you post this shyt over and over again on this forum as if it is an achievement. i know you be trolling with this shyt though, and i commend you on that. you got the "creepy geriatric over the hill wrestling fan living at home with ya momma while living out your fantasy as a hip-hop statesman on online forums" swag down to a T. plus it seems you have a fanboy in big melanie, which is funny to me.

i find you to be a goofie.

that can conviently, only remember half of the facts.

that don't aid your weak and lame faced't ass jokes.

while you were busy talking bout me being a pook.

then trying to say i live at home. which you know is a lie.

you know where and how i got a crib too.

so post that,..but you won't because you know you can not get a place to live like me.

you can not get a real draw like me in hiphop as an artist and you are hating.

so stfu,..and dwell in your bullshyt stan ass life.

while real nikkaz like me are doing what you only dream of.

which is fukk'n women you can't get, being real to a cultural you are not.

plus getting houses respect and the spoils you are not capable of attaining.

with your own wack ass miserable life, and lack of ingenuity.
