Dj Vlad tells Charlamagne that "Illmatic" is Nas only good album

[BronxFleeZ]

this was a demo for his sophomore album before he scrapped the project and the decided to make iww for commercial reasons

Smh why he didn't keep this route. This is flames

So u just spewing the bullshyt Vlad said. Vlad also said Thriller was a double album. A fukkin 9 track album. One of the best albums in the history of black music. ONE of if not THE most popular album in the world. nikka don't even know the track listing. But if we mentioned a Bob Dylan album or some shyt. He would know it front to back. This is supposed to be a cat who was JUST arguing about Thriller vs Off The Wall. But the bytch ass nikka don't even know the albums he's arguing about. The same one who forces Eminem in every GOAT conversation. This is the cat u cosign. He didn't make any good points. He's full of shyt. And he's a vulture.

All those things are correct but that doesn't mean he's incorrect about Nas.

So because I agree with him on this one very obvious sentiment, that means I cosign everything Vlad's ever said?

It's not a very obvious statement. Most people I know in real life fukk wit IWW more. And that's being honest wit u. Not that I DO. But ALOT of people got put on to Nas from IWW. And I had Illmatic on cassette when it dropped. U even see alot of RAPPERS and lyricist cite IWW as their fav Nas album. Plenty of street nikkas feel that way as well. Wasnt shyt "factual" about that statement. Most people I see that hold his opinion are whiteboys. And alotta these nikkas ain't Nas fans like they claim. They Illmatic fans. Simple and plain. Nas is the ONLY artist I've EVER seen to get crucified the way he does based on his first body of work. More than ANY other rapper in his era bar none. nikka has both some of the best and absolute worst fans in hip hop.

[Wacky D]

Not true. At all. Imma go one step further and say it is actually bullshyt and nikka I'm out here. U cosigning a nikka who just called Thriller a double album and tries to insert and force feed Eminem as a GOAT down everyone's who goes up there's throat. I honestly know more white boys who fukk wit Biggie than Nas or Pac. He fits right into that mold. I mean down to a T actually. Eminem love and all. Pac shade n all. Beastie Boys got the best album on Def Jam to this faggit. He tried to put words in Kane's mouth to cause controversy until Kane checked him. I absolutely HATE that this nikka has a platform. And I hate that we keep giving him interviews. He doesn't respect black music.

@ the bolded - and I'm not?

you've taken my post way out of context, but i already know you do this out of emotions whenever nas is a topic. so whatever.

I'm not cosigning anybody. I said I agreed with 1/2 of what vlad said. not everything. nor do I care about what he says on other topics. that's neither here nor there........but yea, beastie boys debut is arguably a top 3 def jam album. yes.

all I was saying was that people need to check the cac talk at the door, because guess whose been keeping nas around all this time? lets not pretend that nas has been burning up the streets for the past 15 years.

as for vlad's existence; we keep giving him interviews because no other outlet is reaching out to most of the people that he sheds light on - which is the main reason why he gets so many views. because he interviews people that the public wants to hear from.

as long as Vladimir is the only outlet showcasing people like lord jamar, bg knoccout & countless others, hes getting my views. on youtube at least.

Nas is the ONLY artist I've EVER seen to get crucified the way he does based on his first body of work. More than ANY other rapper in his era bar none. nikka has both some of the best and absolute worst fans in hip hop.

nas is far from the only artist.

its the curse of a classic album.

nas just makes it worse on himself because he likes to stand on a soapbox. hes pretentious and contradictory on top of that.

All good and well, but doesn't apply to me. IWW is a major step down from Illmatic. You don't have to be a hater to see that.

And alotta people feel it was a step up. Lyrically. Conceptually. All that.

FACTS!

 

[10:31]

It Was Written a step down from illmatic

It was written is arguably Nas best album

 

[mobbinfms]

nas is far from the only artist.

Who gets it as bad as Nas?

 

[SirBiatch]

And alotta people feel it was a step up. Lyrically. Conceptually. All that.

A lot of people? That explains why Illmatic has way more acclaim, right?

To me, IWW is just a step down in all categories. Mainly production, which is my biggest beef. The flow is less sincere and the rhymes aren't even as visionary either.

To each his own.

 

[King Poetic]

I also love how vlad also mentioned in other interviews how ice cube amerikkkas most wanted is a classic, but avoids death certificate and never brings it up

Dudes a dumbass

 

[L. Deezy]

Nas the most analyzed rapper of all time. lol

I love it

Nostalgia.
But I agree, to each his/her own. I'm in the camp that thinks IWW was a better album. (that first verse of The Message alone ). Conceptually, I think it is overlooked. I mean people praised Me and Girlfriend but Nas through that concept out there on I Gave You Power. I agree with production; it was hit or miss but consistently good production was always a weakness post Illmatic.

at the end of the day...
...IWW was just about 20yrs ago.
You're low key supporting Vlads point.

Nas problem is that his albums have a lot of highs and lows...he goes from great to bad in the same album.
Thats all someone like Vlad is saying.
