Nas confirms there were multiple sample clearance issues on DJ Premier album

[prophecypro]

This clip is in reference to the AZ track specfically right? Cause Budden had already said he had heard the OG version and it was fire but had to get scrapped cause of sample reasons

 

[Piff Perkins]

So the lyrics were too vulgar and the solution was to whip out a wack sample pack beat instead of finding another sample that actually fit the rhymes and had some energy. Yea ok.

yall think we'll ever hear the OG version of the album? Def need to leak it for the culture, i'm one of the few that actually ROCKED with the album and don't understand all the hate it got but regardless i'm sure the OG version has dope samples, i'm wondering if NYSOM 3 is one of them?

 

[JYoung24]

The copper-plated pennies embedded on the bar top at Cannons are from the United States, but a lot of the inspiration for the pub is coming from across the pond.
Set to open this month at 15241 Mack in Detroit's Morningside neighborhood, the two level bar aims to be a friendly, everyday watering hole on the main floor with special programming, DJs, music and who-knows-what-else on the second floor that leads to an open-air rooftop space. Detroit techno legends Derrick May and Juan Atkins are both booked upstairs this fall.

I can’t vouch for that joint. Look like it’s on the Detroit side of Mack, but it look like a grosse pointe crowd type of spot.

Ok homey say Nas gets mad burn at Irish 1800 type bars on your side lol

 

[spliz]

Yeah I'm not going to do the excuses, the album didn't live up to what everybody expected, Nas is partly responsible for that, even though he my Goat, I don't do the stanning or twisting myself in a pretzel trying to defend something

I’m saying what it is I’m not making any excuses cause I don’t need to. Check the album thread if u wanna know my feelings on the joint. Peace.

Yall flazes..light years is knockin

Last thing I would say is it knocking. The bats don't knock. Now tracks like writers are still classic material but they are few and far between. Even that beat isn't great it just isn't as bad as the bad ones

The dog ate my homework
The original beats were destroyed in the flood

Just take the L and move on.

The fact some of you are still doing this "act" this many years later, explains why this board is slowly but surely going the way of SOHH.

Right on cue, clady dikkhead was one of the first to post.

This place is on the clock. For y'all not to feel dirty still playing stan/trolling games at this advanced age is crazy to me.

You’re so fukking soft.
Nas is clearly one of the greats but to act like he’s above criticism is the behavior of a 12 year old girl. An embarrassing 12 year old girl.
