I feel this album is majorly overlooked. A great mix of vocals. I went to see them in Myrtle Beach & was by far the best concert I've been to.

That could've been a top summer banger for that year. :wow:


I don't get Nas sometimes...its like he deliberately avoids putting out potential hit records. :no:

Haven't listened to this album in a year or so, went back to it and :ohhh:

If this ain't a classic i don't know what it is.

The way the combined Reggae and Hip Hop elements with traditional African music was genius, and they didn't even go the usual route of sampling Fela Kuti and calling it a day:wow:.



You can just feel the energy in certain songs like Dispear.

This is a post filled with hatred, to the point where discussion is not possible.

Many things you have said there are shocking to me but to say nas disog ain't worth shyt and he is the most overrated mic pretty much sums up why discussion is pointless.

You have a serious hate for nas, clearly. Shame its tainted your experience of this classic record.


nikka,..puh-lease..
you just mad I am talembout your favorite rapper.
you never once disputed anything I said, about nas's skillset on that album.
nas is offkey and overuses syllables every bar of his performances of that record.
none of his rhymes are pocketed at all.

till you dispute what I have to say,..shut tha fukk up.....
the other part I find funny is,.....

I am a bigger fan of this nikka, and jay than all of y'all.

except I ain't giving that nikka a pass, like you blindly will.

* till you went to three other states to get the remix for it ain't hard to tell, the twelve inch remix in 1994.

stfu,..trying to tell me about nas.
