After years of being exposed to subpar Rap, I finally appreciate Nas is Coming

[Rapmastermind]

Yeah, I can't rock with you on Watch Dem nikkaz, breh. That song actually represents the cool lil change up that I expected from Dre when I first heard he would be a part of the project.

This is the joint I use to zone out to in high school. It's the most chill beat man. I had to find the sample and it's just as dope, Hip Hop loves Bob James:

 

[Farrinto]

The song is still wack but it's like Mozart compared to the shyt out now

 

[RAW_SPK]

damn really? i love that fukkin bassline

foxy on the hook was kinda wack tho. rep if anyone has the version of the song with just no one on the hook

Love "The Foulness IV"

"Iceberg, eyes blurred,
flights to Pittsburgh with this bird,
got a room sign on the door; No To Disturb
we twist herb, listen to rumors that this bytch heard
some of em absurd, some made me say 'Word?'"

 

[Ohene]

Used to fast foward this and watch dem nggaz too

I realized how classic they were by 99 tho

both songs are 10/10

 

[Moose_Greyjoy]

I still skip it.....I don't even remember what it sounds like

 

[Free White & 21]

Yall nikkas is trippin

He spittin on that shyt and dre showed his entire ass on that beat

The 24 Carat Black sample remake, the scooby doo samples, the synths, the clarity of the track
I can legit make an argument from a musical standpoint for that being a top 10 dre beat



The beginning and :37 seconds in

Muthafukkin dre

I'm with the original poster on this too. I didn't really like this song until about 2002.

 

[JMD]

I like it now too but it would've fit better on Dre's Aftermath compilation in '96

Never thought the song was wack personally. In fact, it was one of my favorites when I first started listening to the album.

Did you listen to the album when it first dropped or discovered it later?

Later. Didn't get deep into Nas's music till the early 2000s.

That's usually the case. If you got into IWW in the '00s, your ears were already accustomed to that type of sound. In '96, that shyt sounded so foreign and out of place.

I feel you, I still couldn't tell you one single lyric from the song. shyt's like a brand new Nas song to me.

I get that. In that thread I made, people's given reasons for not liking it made sense.
