Keep it real. From what u heard was it on point??

ima say this wit some context

this site has a lot of nas fans and stans

they post about features, songs, moments

when i read thru them i am always shocked how many are;

dissing legends
gossiping
not supportin hiphop

i have never once participated in such and always kept it real

so real i have been called a liar by said fans/stans for sharing my experiences as an unknown

the same day i herd once upon a time in shaolin somebody let me hear the nas and premier

i havent recovered yet from that day

for me it was the best nas album i ever heard, my top 3 nas albums are iww, i am, lost tapes

on the day before it releases i will describe the soundscape of wht i heard

nas pushed the boundaries so far and define my name is not the soundscape nor is ransom album

its some OTHER shyt

I've said this before but I wouldn't be shocked if Preme has been stashing his very best beats for a long time just to give to Nas. He's probably been waiting for this exact moment for like 30 years.

Has he ever really stored beats though? Usually he makes shyt on the spot for the artist. I can imagine him having some shyt stored but it wouldn't fit his operating procedure. My hope is that once the game started shifting, he stored some shyt for elite rappers (Jay, Nas, etc) in hopes that one day they'd return to wanting his style.

But that being said there will also be new beats on there. Not really into that Ransom beat but he's def had great beats in the last couple years (especially for Ab Soul and Westside Gunn).

i forgot to mention that dj premier is and has been my favorite producer since his mix of lifesaver by guru

my question to you is what is the "dj premier sound" , how do you define this

rhetorical, obviously he has different sounds in different eras

this is music evolution
