I think I figured out where Nas goes wrong sometimes

[Jimmy Two-Times™]

a compilation in regarss to hip hop is more than one artist... lyricits lounge, ruff ryders vol 1, soundbombing are compilations...

at best u can say lost tapes is a best of... but what definition is it a compilation.

if nas named the album "Nasdaq" and never said the songs were from the vault would it still be a compilation???? u would just call it a album

Are you retarded or just trolling?


I'm not gonna be negative like most people on this website, but my only advice is if you're being serious you need to sit yourself down and go figure out for what it is that equates to a compilation.

How old are you?

Damn near every person that ever listened to Get Rich or Die Tryin' regards it has a Hip-Hop classic, damn near top #10-30 Hip-Hop albums in that genre of all time.

If you truly don't like 50 then just know that your opinion is in the minority just like the other hermits on this forum.


I've noticed a correlation to the brehs with nearly 20K+ posts who obviously don't go outside to see sunshine are the most miserable.

You just figuring this out in 2018?

What more do you want ? An artist who never experiments ?

I feel where you coming from, it sounds right on paper, but some nikkas have no business experimenting. Some artists are Shaq, we ain't coming to see jumpers and crossovers and ill assists, get in the post and continue being a GOAT at what you do. I don't want to hear Sade out of her element, Sade is the best at her style, I think she would sound off on some Jermaine Dupri, Mariah Carey beats or sumn.

 

[Pop123]

thing is he stuck to no name producers and nikkas complained they wanted to hear him on big name producers beats.

I don't necessarily mean "no names", I just mean the cats with that traditional sound.

Why doesn’t Nas jump on a Black Milk track? Isn’t he signed to Mass Appeal (I could be wrong).

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Popular thug and the flyest are classics

his features on JLo "im gonna be alright" and Jagged Edge "I got it 2" are classic

 

[L&HH]

I never got why You Owe Me was thought of such a bad song. I thought that was a jam.

 

[JayBaldacci]

He's been in the game since the early 90s ... He gave you iIlmatic, It Was Written, Stillmatic, Distant Relative and Life Is Good and now Nasir

What more do you want ? An artist who never experiments ?

What's the point of experimenting if the experiments are never better than the proven science?

I don't know Nas of course but he seems like he doesn't give a shyt about what critics and fans think. And I'm ecstatic if that is the mentality he carries because it has led him to a 25-year career where millions and millions of people argue him for being the greatest ever. If he would have listened to critics, fans and the like he would have never made it past album Number Two. He is basically the LeBron James of the genre where he was so great so early and was labeled as The Prodigy/Chosen One, so the expectations of him are almost unreachable. Whatever he does will be over analyzed and rarely ever enough even if he has 51, 8 and 8. No one ever will be critiqued as much as Nas which is a great thing because you're basically subconsciously saying he's the best ever. Because these same expectations, you don't have for a Michael Jordan or a Jay-Z so I think he's cool with that

Jay got some pretty terrible tracks with the Neptunes, Swizz, Timbo and nem. People gotta stop acting like Jay and big named "super" producers is automatic heat.

To grow and expand and also test limits you get a breakthrough?


Let artists cook and stop being so ungrateful.

 

[Cladyclad]

Nas don’t do records with like minded rappers for some reason. It’s almost rare to see him do tracks wit cats like Common

 

[Billy Ocean]

I been saying it...

Spin: When did you finally realize that Jay Z's discography is borderline trash?

Jay got a discography full of filler and straight up wack shyt crafted by him and those same producers y'all saying he makes better songs than Nas with.

When are people gonna put this bullshyt narrative to bed?

 

[classicmaterial]

if nas named the album "Nasdaq" and never said the songs were from the vault would it still be a compilation???? u would just call it a album

But anyone who was around during the I Am days knew most of those songs already so it's not like he could even act like they were new...
