Listening to Stillmatic in preparation

Bruh since Monday I've been playing Nas whole Catalog, Now I'm listening to Cormega, Nature, AZ after Fox Boogie and The Firm getting ready for Friday

Firm Biz! Nas resurrected Nas Escobar

It's Kinda funny how nikkas hated Nas Escobar and Nas killed his Esco persona for y'all, but lately Esco is making his return.

Nas is a businessman with ventures and Investment I knew it's only a matter of time that Nas Escobar will show up

Nas has been trying to civilize savages for decades, way way before it was the cool thing to do...now he should go back to that Escobar shyt, I'd prefer that mob boss/drug lord shyt even over the boom bap shyt that I want from him.

No nikkas is just bytchin to bytch. Nas got a track with Benny. That is confirmed. Maybe it’s not on his album for a reason. I think Roc Marci is better than every nikka that came out post 2010. Nas don’t got sings wit certain legends even from his era that he cool wit since he been out. Such as Redman etc etc. Not everybody works with nikkas YOU want them to work with. I feel like Roc Marci should work with Spitta since the both close to the same people, they both can get on a similar vibe, and both seem to be fans of eachother. But that don’t mean imma bytch and complain when they got albums out and don’t work with eachother. Ransom literally JUST getting his buzz back up. I fukk with Graph but come the fukk on. nikkas need to get the fukk off this shyt. And u know what’s funny? Nas can do all those things. And would STILL get criticism from people saying he “needs to work with more current people”. Nas ain’t no fukkin underground rapper and hasn’t been since 96. nikkas need to get that thru they fukkin heads. This man just brought The Firm back and nikkas bytchin. Gave nikkas a collab nikkas been waiting on for YEARS. nikkas is STILL bytchin.

Consumers want what they want. I don’t understand how this is a issue.

this is not exclusive to nas

want my old shyt buy my old albums

PSA was saying what pretty much a lot of us want from Nas. That’s to do tracks with spitters. Outside of his camp or friends.

if Nas was in the nba he would be Shaq like in the paint with Preme,Havoc, Large, & Pete. Shooting over 90%. But he get bored and want to expand his game by shooting step back 3’s. Sometimes he make it. Sometimes he don’t. But it’s a 20% clip. It just leaves us like why Nas?

I totally understand his moves but it’s not the move sometimes

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

Nas dont need no features except a few singers and like a random Jungle or Nashawn verse

seriously yall need to lay off the god

Jay is probably having a seance communicating with the late great Francis M.H White asking him for blessings to use his old verses and summon his Ice Berg Slim persona calling Lil Cease aka Caesar Leo De Janeiro, P. Diddy, Lance Un Rivera aka Uncle Paulie, Charlie Baltimore and Cam'ron to form The Commission

Eh I don't think it's comparable. Griselda is signed to Roc Nation, the connection is already there. Hov is far more connected to the rap scene than any rapper in his age bracket. Signed a deal with Mach Hommy and even has been borrowing his flow recently. Chopped it up with Roc Marci. If there's a wave, Hov is going to be somewhere in the vicinity either trying to ride it or profit off it. That's who he is.

Nas and most other people in that age bracket aren't running around searching for new-ish rappers, new waves, etc. It is what it is. But the idea that a legend would do tracks with random underground burnouts is laughable to me. Nas working with Benny? Yea that makes sense, and has already happened. Graph? 38 Spesh? Come on brehs lmao, that's troll shyt.

It’s the same reason nikkas ain’t think Nas was gonna work with Benny and look what happened? Nas does whatever he wants when he wants.

 

[WOLF2007]

Here is how i look at it. That man has earned the right to put out what when he wants... he is a legend. Gave us illmatic IWW I am Stillmatic.. he has earned the right to collab with whoever he wants.

 

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

Nature and Mega beef been squashed probably longer than they actually beefed in the first place. They squashed their beef years before they even recorded together. Mega has explained it before and went into a little bit of depth about it on his Drink Champs appearance.

Nah I said at the time that Benny made sense, long before it was confirmed they worked together. Drake is working with Benny. He probably has a Hov verse. It's clear he's "the one" out of that camp, everyone sees it. It just makes sense. I'm saying there's a difference between what Benny has done and what...38 Spesh has done. Not only in terms of talent but success. You have to "do something" to get that look from big rappers or legends normally, and clearly Benny has done that whereas [insert random underground rapper] hasn't.

To me when I think of people Nas SHOULD work with it's...Kdot, Cole, Drake, Kevin Gates, Meek, Benny, etc. If Nip was still alive I'd be saying they needed to collab (and it sounds like they had plans to). If Kodak was free and not such a dumbass, I'd say a Nas collab would make sense. I'm a big Freddie Gibbs fan, big Roc Marciano fan, big Ka fan...but you wouldn't see me saying Nas needs to work with them because it doesn't make sense.

 

[CrimsonTider]

The worst part is not like dude about to see any money off this album. We're talking best case scenario 75-85k first week with absolutely no radio support
He raps because he still has the passion, is good at it, N to feed the fans

100K+ first week

This shyt doing 30k at the most
