this gotta be the dumbest thread ever. Imagine thinking that B-side Nipsey track is better than a classic Jay track. smh

Its a sequel too

Chill

Rip nipsey but op hell no

Bro HOV is my favorite rapper, you can’t tell me that annoying ass Hard Knock Life is better than Hustle and Motivate

Like cmon bro that’s one of HOVs worse songs

“B-Side” Victory Lap is the best rap album to come out in the last 5 years

I need it by YB and Migos

Anaconda

are you serious

Victory Lap is all A sides dumbass

good album but we all know we wouldn't still be talking about it if he didn't pass.

Speak for yourself

They sampled this so lazily

respectfully disagree. Hov has a lot of legitimately bad songs and Hard Knock Life isn't one of them. up there with his most iconic songs, mostly due to the sample flip. hard to say Nipsey song could capture that same effect with his flip, let alone do it better

Dead serious

1/5 times Hard Knock Life comes on I'll listen to it

5/5 times Hustle & Motivate comes on I'm bumping it

You're WACK if you really bumping that childish song over this grown folk anthem, you would never touch the aux near me

Hard Knock Life was iconic for the time it came out, cause really that was the song to introduce HOV to the American mainstream white audience...

But in the grand scheme of things, it is not as great of a song as H&M. It hasn't aged well

In HIP HOP terms, H&M is way better

Lmao I always thought Hussle and Motivate sounded like HKL at the beginning. Figured it must be the same sample but never bothered to look

But it is, Hard Knock Life was cringe even back then.

Annoying ass lil kid voices, s*** was WOAT.

Only thing that made it good was hearing it on Austin Powers in Goldmember

No one cared about Nip? What fly over state are you from? We were slappin his music in 09’

Since someone else was tripping, ima just say I prefer the way it was flipped there. The slowness of it

Prolly gna get killed for this take but oh well

Everyone has their own opinion at the end of the day
