Build and Destroy Appreciation thread

[Tom]

This was the last time Nas was really on some type sh1t


I miss the angry Nas


Son was only 28 yrs old at this time and already a living legend, Jay Elect 40 yrs old and hasn't even dropped his debut album

 

[Canada Goose]

at you getting the song title wrong in the thread title lol

Its funny as Prodigy was like when he found out that Nas dissed him on this track

Song is a classic though, that KRS sample on the hook

Its arguable he was on some tip on "These are our heroes" though.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

If u were on the receiving end of this diss, youre mad, yet appreciate the advice nas gave them.

Nas dissed, yet gave them nikkaz counseling in the song

 

[Big Mel]

Lets at least be honest about the beat though. Not wack like ether but far from a great instrumental.


That's what happens when you hire the keyboard utilizing Beatminerz reject Baby Paul in 2001.

"where u be at? Why you never bucking"

 

[TJ Hend]

that beat sucked

 

[Tom]

that beat sucked

there used to be a time in hiphop where people bought albums strictly based on an artist lyricism and not based on what producers he used tho

"nature moved to marcy.......man dikkridin nature..nothing else to say man nature moved to marcy"

"since we on the subjects of traitors and flunkies mega aint the only fakkit in my hood dummies"
all the verse+outro were

"where u be at? Why you never bucking"

that's my favorite part!

between destroy and rebuild, ether and his classic interview on power 105 going at flex and the rest of the industry, he was on some epic one-man wrecking crew shyt. he really mellowed out after his moms passed.

 

[Big Mel]

did you hear that rant on power 105 live? i did. i was actually talking to my mom when it started. i said "ma i gotta go, Nas is about to declare war on the evil empire!"


he actually, for a moment, had me believing in him again. but then he began to be him again.


good ol' schnoz.

that is true. If Nas moms never passed on, there would have been a lot of nikkas commit suicide. Nas was like that angry father that was mad at his children for acting up when he was temporarily gone. Destroy and Rebuild was even more potent than Ether cause a lot of cats, especially Cormega, got exposed as bum ass dudes that are mentally trapped in the projects.

 

[Northern Son]

Very underrated diss. That was the final nail in the coffin for Prodigy.

 

[Big Mel]

^^^^false. Cormega proved to be one of the savviest indie hustlers in NYC, released two classic indie albums, one of which absolutely sonned Nas to oblivion and is SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than Stillmatic, got the rights back from Def Jam to release his shelved debut etc etc.


Cormega is not to be played with. You Nas fukkboys kill me.
