Listening to Nas "N1GGER" & it's so great

[666 ReVeNGe 666]

Love the album. With race issues getting a lot of press today the album is even more relevant. Funny cuz besides the press the title got I don't really remember ppl feeling it when it dropped. I remember Fox News and other media outlets were bytching about the title and nas had to change it.

I just burnt my American flag
And sent three cracker nazis to hell and I'm sad
Ugh, I'm loading tips in my mag
To send these redneck bigots to some death in a bag
Choke him out with his confederate flag
I know these devils are mad

Testify kinda reminds me of "when shyt hit the fan" off Kendrick album.

Thats @biscuitsnbangers favorite album title.

 

[tybo]

This joint is better than TPAB to me!

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Good music lives forever... Only cacs and c00ns hate this beautiful and relevant music.

Queens get the money

Roaches, yall my nikkas, and that pork song are my faves

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

doesnt change the fact that it sounds like a jay elec verse front to back in every way. when you hear the first verse of the next song the difference is like night and day

right, an irrelevant average lyricist like Jay Elect is gonna write for Nas... only on the Coli

So a rapper sounding different on a totally different song is the best proof you got bruh?

 

[spliz]

what beat? Its so obvious that jay elec wrote that.

nikka Jay Elec can't even finish his own DEBUT album in like 8 years. Get all the way da fukk outta here.

The first song has classic Jay Elec flow and wordplay, and his type of references too. 2nd track has one of Nas' most recognizable flows where he's back to rhyming to a lot of his usual aesthetic. I'm just saying hearing the 2nd song makes it more apparent

 

[S.W.A.G.]

The reason Nas is the greatest is that each of his albums chronicles moments in his life or the culture..that's why many of his projects although not perfect, are timeless. Stillmatic (his return to the top), God's Son (losing his mum), Hip Hop is Dead (trying to save hip hop when it was nothing but ringtone rap), Untitled (black injustice), Life is Good (his divorce).... no other rapper has done it like him...

I struggle to think what his next album will be about..

 

[I_Got_Da_Burna]

Jay Elec wrote rhymes for Nas huh....I guess Cuttino Mobley taught Jordan how to shoot the fadeaway too huh

[Primetime21]

That "proclamation" joint with the excerpt from Malcolm X should've been the album intro

 

[really tho]

Great album... a shining moment of the late 2000's

Regarding Nas having ghostwriters.. wheres the reference tracks ?

allegedly, the reference tracks are out there
