True.
Find Ya Wealth is your favorite Nas beat ever? Can't say I like that beat but that's L.E.S, who has made some of the best Nas songs ever. I'd rather hear a new Nas/L.E.S collab than Alc or 9th.
L.E.S. is super dope. Hit or miss, but he's one of the unsung producers of the 90s if you ask me. In the same tier as a Buckwild or maybe a little higher.
I think L.E.S. fukks up by getting too many slots on a Nas album. He's good for 1 or 2 fantastic beats, but outside of that, it's mediocrity.
i was gonna bold the parts i disagree with but its quicker to bold what i agree with
and even that.. nas and madlib would be good but definitely not over madvillany type shytquasimoto or beat konducta for sure
edit: wow and its sirbiatch
new avi, new year, same SirBiatch stan

Damn I was hoping no one would post this. Yeah, that's not the jam right there. It makes it worse by their overreactions.
If 9th even had Nas rhyme on the Rhythm Roulette beats he did it would be dope.
Anything at all you fukk with from 9th in the past few years at all?

Alchemist been on fire for the last few years, come on. I'm not even a big 9th fan anymore but I bet he could lace Nas with something dope.

Agreed. It's a matter of opening his circle. No ID said that his producer friends were shocked he was working with Nas because they said he doesn't really bring new people in. He sticks with his guys and that's that. Obviously he worked with Alchemist in the past but it seems like they're in different lanes now.I used to hate on Salaam Remi until I heard him on Juan Epstein and realized he;d done way more shyt I like than I realized. But I agree. Just cut a couple Salaam joints down and get a few others on there.
The crazy thing is you know if Nas went out to CA or NC for one week that Alc or 9th and him could cook up an entire album and it would be at least 4 mics.
9th would put in major work for Nas at this point. You may prefer Alc and Nas but 9th would still kill it.
Imagine if Madlib or Nottz could get into the picture.
My hope is that given that Nas is now heavily involved with Mass Appeal he'll mingle more with dope people. El-P comes to mind. Nas was at a restaurant opening event a few months ago with him, Statik, and Alchemist. I'm sure they had conversations...
9th is a good dude. It's funny because he seems like the type of guy Nas would really gel with. They seem in the same lane intellectually. Dunno what's up. Nas can work with anyone he wants, and he only thing holding him back right now is best selection. If he gets with dope ass producers that won't be a problem.

anything would sound better than the cross og beat.
beat is good but didn't fit the mood of the lyrics.
nah
This is one of the best beats on God's Son. Part genius, part total misfire. 00:00 - 00:12 and 00:46 - 01:07 are THE best parts. That mysterious-sounding melody floating in the background is gorgeous. Then that shyt disappears
and you're left with a semi-annoying bare bones beat. Like the fukk happened? shyt sounds incomplete as fukk.imo the best Nas/Alc collab, and it's not even close:
if Nas's delivery were in the right tone, this would have eclipsed the Alc original and been one of the best tracks on God's Son
9th Wonder is Premo chops with Pete Rock energy. It makes sense that Nas and 9th would work together, but prior to 9th fall-off
Nas could have turned this into fire

this my favorite one. but one never knows has a better beat.
Top 5 Nas intro:
"get on yo job, let your nuts hang, biatch!"
then he proceeds to kill it talking about coming through in a flying saucer and being immortal 
Some days you listen to Nas and it's like: 'this is the best rapper that's ever rapped.'
