LMAO @ this beat The Cross by NAS

[OG Talk]

That song is why it blows my mind that anyone would attempt to say godson was better than stillmatic

This song was horrible

Me and my brother have this argument all the time.. He swears GS is better than Stillmatic...The production on this song and "Last Real nikka Alive" are way too weak for him to have a legit argument...

LRNA might have been a bigger example of wasting ill lyrics on a garbage beat...

That was like epilogue to Ether but hardly anyone remembers it...Browz raped the budget with that one..

 

[Juliano Soprano]

Wait I never heard this damn what a difference

That whole tape is go download it.

Only thing I hate is all the lyrics are censored, Nas lost for not wantin' to release his uncensored vocals

 

[madness]

em never tweaked his snares, drums or wack ass pattern. you'd think dr. dre or mr. porter wouldve given him some tips or something.

You too light? I shoot your freckles out
You too dark? The infrared show you what the tec about

Last Real nikka Alive is a wack beat? First time I ever heard that.

I always dug Daydreaming Stay Scheming too, so

The Cross is pretty wack though. I've heard the whole thing twice probably

Nas - The Cross (9th Wonder Remix) - YouTube

You sir just picked my morning album

 

[TXTrill1]

NAS crashed that hoe though "It's hard to see RnB rappers arguably started fukkin up the game horribly!"

You jigger stans need to get off that man dikk

The fact that credible emcees were accepting beats from Eminem is a clear case of white priviledge...Dudes production is an abomination and he saved his worst for Nas...

That song almost single handedly ruined what could have been a boderline classic...

em produced "lose yourself"


According to the Guinness Book of World Records, "Lose Yourself" became the "Longest Running Single at Number One for a Rap Song" at 23 weeks.

While in the #1 spot (from 11/09/02 through 1/25/03),

At #1 66, "Lose Yourself" is the highest ranked of the three songs from the 21st century featured in the 2004 List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (joining "Stan" at #290 and Outkast's "Hey Ya!" at #1 80). The magazine later ranked the song the twelfth best of the '00s decade.[10

In October 2011, NME placed it at number 57 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years".[12] VH1 placed it at #4 for the best songs of the 2000s.


Lose Yourself became the first rap song to win The Academy Award for Best Original Song.[1

he American Film Institute later ranked it #93 on their list of the 100 Greatest Songs from American Films.



^^^^

maybe thats why

 

[DeuceZ]

I actually like this song, I have always wondered what everyone had against it, the beat compliments his lyrics. Oh well.

I know not the best on the album but certainly not the worst never skipped it...that would go to Zone Zone Zone Out

 

[kp404]

Jesus christ i cut it off before worst started....i forgot how bad i hate that song

It blows my mind how godson has some his best and his absolute worst shyt ever

That song almost single handedly ruined what could have been a boderline classic...

It's actually the opposite for me.. The beat was so awful I can't even focus on anything he was saying..

That song is why it blows my mind that anyone would attempt to say godson was better than stillmatic

This song was horrible

All of this. Eminem has to be the worse artist/producer in history

Lose Yourself is trash though...

 

[Mr. 1nighter]

Cross was hard. Wtf is y'all smoking

 

[ROFL_GUY]

Good but The Cross is not lose yourself

just sayin that "the cross" beat was made same timeframe as the. 8mile sessions... NAS wouldnt let marshall hop on a track with him.. so he gave him that shyt beat..

nAS though he could use EM name to move units.. i know EM wanted to lay a verse down with one of his idols but nas didnt wanna get renegaded so he settled for a subpar EM beat.nas being scared is the reason he got that shyt production


using my name but wont let me lay verse

the other beats that EM made at that time were all fire.

 

[prophecypro]

That was Em was making the same beat for a lot of cats

This, Moment and Clarity and that joint on Xzibit's album that came out that year.

That said, when I saw Nas on th God Son tour that year and he came out to it, it was kinda dope (Chill though, after the verse he went into Stillmatic joints)

 

[Soundwave]

I liked it

The beat was simple, but I thought it served its purpose
