Marco Polo ft Masta Ace - Nostalgia (Appreciation Thread)

[SirBiatch]

Top 5 hip hop song of 2007.

I remember when this dropped, and that KRS "Hip Hop Lives" joint around the same time. You felt like maybe real hip hop could make a comeback. Alas, it was a dying breath of sorts. Both Marco and KRS's albums were disappointing as fukk.



Crazy, timeless beat, and great rhymes from Ace.

 

[Yoda]

that pt.authority album was
statik selektah dropped his first album that year i think, and that was a similar feel of

real hip hop!

 

[DeuceCypherUno]

hip hop used to be so thick in the air
when it was there you aint even need a kick and a snare

 

[Zero]

Both Marco and KRS's albums were disappointing as fukk.

Port Authority 1 was fire

 

[HHR]

Ace is so great.

Im ashamed ....never heard this

 

[The Infamous]

This track brings back memories. Classic.

 

[nasty]

Very underrated album, might just be the best Canadian hiphop album I've heard which is not really saying much

 

[The Jewnited States]

I'm surprised at who made this thread. Classic track regardless . Usually these "I love/miss hip-hop" tracks turn out corny but this shyt was incredible.

 

[SirBiatch]

Is that Loaded Lux next to Ace at 3:28?

I'm surprised at who made this thread.

 

[Jack Don the G]

Beat so good I used it as my alarm clock for a couple of months.

Woke up with a smile every morning. And even tho I hate mornings I never got tired of the beat.

Ace killed it too.

 

[Lord Mecca]

Loved this track... and props because I never knew this shyt had a video

Port Authority 1 was dope.... was on my iPod for some time.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Ace dropped some serious classics in the past 15 yrs.

 

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

Love this song and video. Also, the Roc Marciano track off this album is a top 5 Roc track. Beat alone is incredible and he kills it with the EPMD flow/homage.

 

[ZEB WALTON]

I used to play this in my car all the time. That hook is hypnotic.
