Nas- Blunt Ashes appreciation thread

[The Ruler 09]

Beats are supposed to make you feel the song, so the beat accomplished what it was supposed to. Had a nice atmospheric sound anyway.

 

[street heat]

the beat fit the subject matter. classic song IMO

donny hathaway, free fall from a bal-co-ny

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

This is my favorite joint on Hip-Hop Is Dead.
Lovin the sample used in the beat.

 

[ManBearPig]

I literally don't know anyone in real life who didn't like this song.

Even people I know that don't listen to Nas be like. "This cool"

 

[QamYasharahla]

I'm not going to say it's a bad song, but I was never crazy about it. It was one of my favorite tracks on the album only because I thought (and still think) Hip Hop Is Dead was a horrible album.

Ain't Nothing Wrong With The Beat

Nas Doesn't Pick Beats That Are Gonna Outshine Him, The Beat Smacks During The Hook Thats All That Matters

Good Song, Sounds Like Something You'd Hear From His Unreleased Music

 

[Danie84]

Yo, I wonder if Langston Hughes and Alex Haley got blazed before they told stories

...you just knew some glamorous profound Black History philosophy was about to be spit by the poet

 

[Yoda]

I thought the beat to sly fox was pretty damn ill. Like the whole LIG sans the 3 shytty songs.

Hold Down The Block was my jam.


I like a lot of his later stuff. Just don't love any of it.

Sly Fox was done by slipknot breh
Hold down the block was weak.
you have weird taste when it comes to phnaghhz.

 

[Yoda]

btw "Still Dreaming" is the best track off HHID.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

I was literally about to post this song

one of my favorite nas songs ever

"it comes a day in your life when you wanna kick back straw hat on the porch when you old perhaps, wanna gather your thoughts have a cold one brag to your grandkids on how life is golden"

beautiful fukking song. no other rapper could've made it.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

Truly awful song. When people say Nas has a bad ear for beats, this is the type of track they mean.

breh i honestly don't think ive ever seen you compliment anything

 

[Doin2Much Williams]

goat song by chris webber

You've obviously never heard the sounds of the wheels spinning on the side of a pair uh Dada hoop shoes.

[No Homo]

Sly fox was done by dead prez. Hold down the block is pure dr Dre detox team piff.

You have weird taste period. I see you out here with the Pom Poms for Donald glover and Mac miller.

 

[BulletProof]
