This song was a breath of fresh air. All 3 did their thing... And, compared to contemporary "rap", i kinda needed this.

Tisall...

Because the original is a beat, not a composition

yall don't anything about Hip Hop

Hit Boy played it back, it doesn't have soul, you think Hit Boy is better musician then the song sampled on the OG lmao, there's he can play it back all he wants he's not that good enough of musician play those same notes better than the original record, you don't know shyt about music if you think other wise, and that's why its flat.

And also, the pocket on the beat is what makes it better besides the sample elements, the chopped intro, the vocal going through the chorus, everything was better.

Hit Boy better at sampling than playing anyway, the pocket was just too stiff on the beat, but real beats don't have the basic 4/4 timing, because it's too mechanical and robotic, you gotta slide it off a little bit to give it some ride.

the feeling of the beat, the rhythm of it is better, it has nothing to do with the sound quality

if they could remaster the OG and bring the sound quality up to modern times the difference would be tremendous because it would be more apparent

Yep That's really all that was needed

I remember when Hot Day had this on a mixtape summer of '94. We went crazy when we heard the OG! I still listen to that, all day.

Cordae and Freddie Gibbs sound dope on this! Props to Nas for bringing this joint back. We always wanted him to finish this. I still prefer the OG version. It was way more soulful, but this is a cool tribute to the older joint.

 

[CAVEMAN]

This is cool, good curveball approach to finishing it. Would have far preferred they just mastered the original instead of remaking it with guests. the new Nas raps on it are a good look tho. To everybody saying "Go listen to the original then" -- the problem with the old one is it still sounds unmastered in low quality, thats why everybody always wanted him to finish it and release it for real. The guests and replayed beat is cool, don't get me wrong, it's just still not as tight as the original would have been.

wish somebody in his camp would still leak a better quality version of the OG, since an actual release is almost off the table now that this is out.

This shyt is yuppy, corporate, trash.

[Guvnor]

This shyt is perfection! Nas is one of the legends that can still do it.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

I like Hit Boy beats for the most part and think this is dope. That said, I kind of hope he isn't Nas' go-to dude going forward... Hoping Nas continues to branch out on production

 

[The War Report]

I don’t know why Nas never finished this
