Black Republican and Queens Get The Money are classic tracks

Are they? What is a classic track. To me a classic track is something that is memorable outside of the fan bubble and resonates for years. Often a track that becomes a staple of live shows, or a big track that just shook things up. Black Republican was a big deal but even at the time some said they weren’t feeling it, that it didn’t match the moment of two titans meeting for the first time on wax. I love the track and like the beat, personally. But I wouldn’t say any of Nas and Hov’s collabs are classic. To me a classic collab is like...Welcome To New York. Affirmative Action. Rite Where You Stand. Devil Is A Lie. Triple Beam Dreams...

What’s classic about Queens Get The Money? I think it’s cool but I’m curious. No songs on either of those albums have become live staples of shows, or are tracks that you go to a concert and “have” to hear. Nas Is Like is classic. Made You Look. One Mic. I wouldn’t say any individual track on LIG classic but there are multiple tracks that have become great additions to live sets (The Don, Bye Baby, Daughters), and it’s an undeniable great album.

Impeccable beat, impeccable lyrics
Everything else doesn't matter. At least to me.

I can respect that definition, even tho I disagree. I feel like “classic” gets thrown around too much and now means “great song or album” instead of “perfect/near perfect album or song that changed/impacted the genre.”

Personally, I don't even want the credits to leak. This close to the album being released, I'd rather be surprised. Might avoid the Internet altogether until the album drops.

Dying to know the production credits. I feel like because of the length u gotta listen to the album as a whole.

Didn't Hit Boy produce all of it?

But I'm seeing people say Dre did a track in here.

 

[Pop123]

There is no way its just coincidental that that song came out today and Nas is coming out tonight basically, 12am. It couldnt come out any of the other 51 weeks of the year? It had to be this one? How? Why? Lol. Isnt this 3 straight Nas albums now where Jayz has done something the same day after being SILENT the entire rest of the year. Lol, common sense says that Ether is still burning

 

[JYoung24]

HHID and Untitled, back to back. Is there one song on either album that made an impact or is remembered today? I don’t have any issue with the ideas behind the albums...the problem was the execution and consistency with the concepts. Each has multiple songs I like. But as albums they both feel scatter shot and inconsistent.

Both of them shyts was fire I dont get the hhid hate on here people was fukking with that album when it came out

Someone asked Hitboy on his IG if he produced every track. Hitboy replied with "credits will be released Thursday night". I'm sure he had a hand in every track as either sole or co-producer.
