“i heard the beat and I ain’t know what to write”


its showed by everything he said afterwards lol

I’ve been holding onto that all thread :heh:

People talking about ‘Neck and Wrist beat is better’. I mean it’s not Jay fault Nas can’t rap on just ANY beat. That’s not his strong point.

Pharrell probably gave him FICO and Nas said :jbhmm: Nah gimme that throwaway ‘generic 2000s motivation’ beat that don’t sound nothing like your production. I’ma hit ‘em with the terminator-hasta la vista flip :obama:

Jay Z has been better at guest verses for at least 20 years now.

I can’t remember the last classic or notable Nas Guest verse that had guys going crazy. He used to do this when bill clinton was president, like Verbal Intercourse was one of those times.

Exactly.

While the Camel is cosplaying as Basqiat, Godson is carrying the culture. Nas gave us a Slick Rick album and he's giving us Raekwon soon, Jay can't even get Bleek that 1 hit he's been missing for 3 decades.

I never said they were smash hits, just dope features. Triple Beam Dreams, Hip Hop and Album Done made no noise? lol Gun For Gun was an underground track.

Some dope features on that list. Music for life is classic :mjcry: Do it for hip hip might be the best jay and Nas track….Hip hop Face bodied Nas but last second Nas with the ‘hollow be thy name don’t let me do this dame like orenthal James’ :whew:


But ultimately, Nas is better than jay at certain things….and jay is better than Nas at certain things. Features is one of those things

You could not list 20 jay features and have that many forgettable songs :dead: :yeshrug:
