There are times where I prefer listening to this over the original cause of the live instrumentation

It's up there. The Roots and Ye got good ones as well.

Not the best but I wanna give Cole a shoutout for this one

Jay Z and The Roots?

Jay Z

This

I saw Nas do all of Illmatic live for an anniversary tour

i really don't like rap with live instrumentation (at a concert)

it just removes the punch and perfection of using computer tech (also counting drum machines in this) to make music

Context for how amazing this album is

Not hip hop but 808s Hollywood Bowl

I never even knew this existed

Listening rn wow

That s*** is crazy hard, NY State of Mind version is insane

Fantastic concert

For anybody that speaks Spanish here (or not lmao)

This band makes very dope music, it mixes Funk, Hip-Hop and Jazz. S*** sounds very good. The instrumentation is top tier

💯

not an album or the greatest but still good

who’s your favorite traditional composer?
Beethoven, Bach..
Beethoven? you ever heard of zaytoven?

one of the best of all tome

Yeah this blew my mind

When it turns into straight reggae
