LMAO @ this beat The Cross by NAS

[The_Third_Man]

"The cross" beat sound almost the same as "moment of clarity".

 

[JoelB]

I remember listening to that record the first time with the

Trash production that sounded amateur as shyt...

 

[NYChase718]

stop dikkridin that white boy diick.

 

[Kid-Wave]

The shyt he was spitting makes me forget how awful the beat is.

this right here...i almost ignore the beat and just listen to the rhymes lol, Nas was in a zone this album

 

[mrkaine]

His opening words
and still spit over that beat


EM

Nas - The Cross [ God's Son ] - YouTube

This beat wasn't the best but it wasn't bad. It could be that it was the best one for what Nas was looking to do. Either way, it's not as bad as some make it out to be BUT Nas has made waaaayy better songs. Although, these lyrics are on point.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

I still remember that joint on the 8 Mile OST with Jay and Freeway

"Em the beat is SICK!"

No...no it isnt

 

[AkaDemiK]

it wasnt the best em beat but Nas raped this track...fukk outta here if you think he didn't.

 

[Jayson_bourn]

Been listenin to 9ths version so long that this one is extra now

 

[Vilified not verified]

I guess you could say the cross wasn't the only thing nas was carrying on that track

 

[HendriX]

Back when I bought this CD in 02..this was an instant skip..like everybody pointed out already..that beat is just

He spazzed on the song tho..too bad cause that would have been a deadly beginning to the album..with Get Down and Made You Look.

 

[45123]

the beat's not THAT wack

those strings in the background are dope, the keys just sound amateur as hell that's all

moment of clarity on the other hand, you can make a case for (even though i liked that beat as well )

 

[Methodical]

I liked The Cross... I think the beat on this song wouldn't that bad cause Nas actually flow on it.

 

[Omerta]

Banger.

 

[re'up]

Liked this track, and most of Em's beat, they weren't great, and did feel monotonous, derivative, amateur at times, but, I liked that they were dark and ominous, and they were a reflection of the era as well.

 

[BrehMan]

The Cross is subpar and easily skippable no matter who raps on it. I doesn't help that it was sandwiched between Get Down and Made You Look.
