Is "Aint No Ni**a" the WORST quality sounding song on a retail album?

[stealthbomber]

yall skipping aint no nikka?? that tracks funky as fukk

sounds like they had the vinyl playing live while he was recording it. that crackling noise in the beat rap today doesnt have that raw feeling anymore


but it definitely wasnt mixed at all, just recorded and put out there

"Ain't No nikka" was the BIGGEST song from "Reasonable Doubt" as far as the mainstream. Song is a Classic straight up. Without that song, Jay is an underground rapper. That song is one of the biggest reason "Reasonable Doubt" even went Gold. It also was a huge introduction to the mainstream for Foxy even though she was on "I shot Ya" remix this was the song that people really paid attention to her. Video was dope two with the Biggie Cameo:

Jay-Z feat. Foxy Brown - Ain't No nikka - YouTube

LOL @ that intro:

"Jay What's happening, Where's Frank"

LOL @ Jay waking up Biggie's groupie's.

I remember being 8, chasing girls outside the Boys & Girls club during summer camp , eating popsicles while drug dealers drove by blasting this shyt. Song is forever tied to my childhood "If I Ruled the World" too...

Summer '96

So that means you were born in 88', back when Jay was getting chased through his building, calling Nas' crib, even though he was not given said number

 

[Flav]

Last year real nikkas was made

 

[jadillac]

From that soundtrack tho, everything was bangin

 

[MouseTeeth]

Anyone who says this song is wack was born after 1990

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

That shyt has hissing, bad treble, etc. just a terrible sounding song.

Whole album sounds cheaply recorded

 

[The Dust King]

I love all of this stuff but then again hissing is a required component of real hiphop.

I grew up listening to this sh*t on tape, spoiled MP3 ass nggaz.

*smacks threadstarter with nutty professor sndtrk*

 

[OGJOHNNY5]

people completely missing the point of this thread. to be expected when criticizing anything Jay-Z related.

Yes this song is mixed terribly, as is the entirety of Blueprint 3

[Rivoli]

i think Jaz-o played the loop by hand all the way through for this song

 

[Juneya]

never heard one that sounds worse

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

It is up there.

That song with Luda and Game off Game's last album that samples Newcleus is by the worst Ive heard.
