    Nas was ready to throw a punch

    “Said you gonna kidnap my what and spit at my what ??”

  • Feb 4, 2022

    Hung up the phone and the phone rang
    I’m laid in the bed thinking bout this pretty young thing
    Who left and came back
    Her clothes just fell to the rug
    She fell to my bed and gave me a hug
    I told her “no hell”, she takin bout “me kiss”
    Bobbed her head and spit a nut back in my d***

    Whats your thoughts on "What Goes Around"?

    it’s alright not one of my favourites but it flows well

    anti vax stuff is especially nowadays but when an album is a classic you’ll let stuff slide

    Production wise it sounds like a more polished illmatic, which I guess can take away from what makes that sound special (the rawness and authenticity)

    yep that’s why i liked I Am more at first it embraced mainstream sounds way better

    but it was written got a magic to it

    that song leads to him working mostly with that producer on the next 4 albums lol.

    yea the production has aged pretty good too.

  • Nas used to get so much s*** for constantly working with Salaam Remi after Stillmatic but they definitely got some classic songs together like Made You Look lol.

    One Mic was the song that put me on

    Not mad at this opinion, it’s a classic no doubt. But before you leave this album you need to listen to the track they deleted from history

    !https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CkpLTA4QbEM

    This was the track right after the flyest when I bought the cd on drop day!

    I remember reading some place that Mary J Blige requested the song be removed

    I know what you mean

    There’s a certain rawness that’s missing

    The production is clean but doesn’t have very distinct qualities. Overall the beats are solid and cohesive so getting through the album isn’t a task. I Gave You Power is one of Premier best beats and one of Nas best songs too

    Whole album is at least an 8/10 for me though

  • 6geW

    I gotta be honest with you guys, may be jumping the gun but Stillmatic is the greatest Nas album so far

    After Nastradaumus a reevaluation was needed and Nas hit the RESET button with this album and took it back to basics

    From the very first song Nas is rapping with more intensity than his past 2 albums and his wordplay is at its best

    Then it goes into ETHER yea some parts wouldn’t fly today but same with Halftime on Illmatic so who cares the whole song is insane

    and he just doesn’t let up from there, the whole album is packed with intensity, great beats, razor sharp flows and bars that are so well crafted and great song topics or themes like Rewind

    There wasn’t a single moment on this album I zoned out at all I was super tuned in for the whole hour

    as a successor to Illmatic this album is perfect, the perfect natural evolution and Nas at his best

    Classic/10

    Favourite Tracks: Stillmatic, Ether, Got Urself A Gun, Smokin, You’re Da Man, Rewind, One Mic, 2nd Childhood, The Flyest, Rule, My Country

    Least favourite: N/A

    updated discography ranking:

    Stillmatic
    Illmatic
    It Was Written
    I Am
    Nastradaumus

    2nd childhood is insane. Preemo laced, Nas came through

    This s*** was goofy. He was brave for releasing it in the first place

  • Feb 5, 2022

    you owe me is my jam fr

    really gotta thank timbaland though for the beat and getting ginuwine though

    nas is good but those two things do the most heavy lifting

    reminds me of being at chuck e cheese as a kid for some reason, i probably heard it as a kid without knowing, or maybe it was in a movie

    I think the prod on It Was Written is darker and weirder than Illmatic

    Illmatic got all those mellow jazzy sounds, more accessible imo

    Both albums slap tho
