The Needle Drop reviews: Nas - Life Is Good

[Woodrow]

Nas- Life Is Good ALBUM REVIEW - YouTube

This is the last straw with his hip hop reviews. He only likes experimental hip hop. How can he disrespect a legend like Nas?

On what grounds does this clown even hold weight? He don't even know what the fukk he talking about.

"nas still sold tons of records after illmatic, but his style began to change?" illmatic ain't sell shyt tho.

"nas began to move into a more violent, gangster style." illmatics first 8 bars involve him hunting down someone with a nine, only for the gun to jam.

nikkas should be negged for valuing his opinion at all.shyt don't even deserve a thread.

Also when has Nas ever been a gangsta rapper? He may have used violent imagery but I never took it as an endorsemen just more an exploration of those themes.

 

[Art Barr]

He summed up Schnoz' career lovely didn't he?

yes,...he did.

you csn tell which nas fans are the toys, who started on iww.

then did not know about illmatic,..till later.

then try to act like they had illmatic when it first dropped.

to try to fit in and fool the other late toy ass fans.

you toys are not fooling anybody who is a real bboy.

nas, went from dope emcee to regular offbrand gangsta rapper on iww.

i would have thought.

when he was doing his best bite'n tupac rendition on his later albums.

right out of the master p playbook would have been a dead ass giveaway by now.

yet, i guess the sellout anti christ of hiphop still has all y'all fooled.

Wack

lol @ fart barr giving him props

you fell off breh

are you the person who been impersonating me?

also,..i ain't never gave no global pass to nas.

like most sheep based ass people did.

all because they were to much of a coward to keep it real.

even when he signed to defjam.

i guess you missed those threads.

when you fell off and ran from the new users,..

you have missed a lot breh-breh!

now, i want my question answered.

This guy hates everything

Never seen a positive video from him

he keeps it real,....that is why.

it ain't really been no good albums or artist other than astra.

most of the albums or shyt i listen to is shyt i have to ignore, the wackness of.

mostly all this new shyt is not really skilled.

or artist who were a shell of themselves.

even his gf said bjork last album wasn't great and it was the damn truth.

[Art Barr]

You don't think that Nas is closer to The Roots than he is to Kanye?

all three of them some wack ass sellouts of the highest order.

so who gives a fukk, though.

nikka,....

dead end hiphop are some toys and the dude in their group is fukking gay, for real.

wtf,..are you saying!!

[Art Barr]

He's saying as result of the nuclear fallout from the sales spike era promising new groups like Odd Future were initially able to garner props from otherwise astute fans and participants without being vetted properly in hopes they'd build their skills ala Mobb Deep on Infamous or some shyt.


The old school way of thought is the old, sugarhill shyt where biting and faking jax superseded true b boy culture for cash grabs.

it always takes the realest to know the realest.

preciate it,..handshake!!

[SCORCH]

What?

 

[DaveyDave]

Ie never liked the reviews I saw from him anyway, it's not much of a shock to hear him talk shyt like this

 

[Peak]

Did he not give Tyler the Creator's Goblin album a 5? Correct me if im wrong but those are hardly the actions of a Stan.

I respect his viewpoint re: the Nas album, but I think he is wrong plain and simple. It's a good effort from Nas.

 

[Billy Ocean]

Does anybody still read art barr's posts? Them shyts give me brain hemorrhages

I literally skipped page 4 of this thread because I skimmed it and saw that the dude posted more than once.
