It's one of the dumbest beats a great rapper has ever rapped on, and should have stayed in the vaults forever. Making it the first single was even more insane. That Statik track should have been the first single.

Lost Freestyle, right? Cause yeah, that seemed like a slam dunk and he went with...that. That project may have been throwaways but he destroyed all the momentum with that single

How some can call Drake Goat because he has hit records n always on the radio is beyond me...

Dude's formula is ....different angles of making the same song....if it ain't broke don't fix it right, Riiiiiighhhhttttt

Yup
At least Nas will take some risk with his music whether or not the output is good or bad

Song is my favorite track off LT2 and easily one of my favorite tracks to drop in the last 5 years. Song is nostalgic as hell to me for that summer, but aside from that it's just a great song.

Completely understand why some people don't rock with it. To each his own. I fukking love this song though and no amount of internet clowning is gonna change my opinion about it.

RIP Al Jarreau. Would have been even more interesting if Nas was able to make that collabo happen before he died like he had wanted.
