Crazy how dude is still so nice

whose the corde can’t ? Never heard of him

he wasn’t bad on this
YBN Cordae. He’s dope. The Coli hates him. And this should shut down any questions if Nas still got it. He literally went back to his old flow at the end of the song.

The old track is way better, the pocket on the beat got more swing, it don't got the voice in the beat, it just sound sterile, no soul

I'ma be honest, people have forgot how to make hip hop
the voice is there

you can't remake the old sound without using old samplers for that tonality even if you use plugins to make your new shyt sound old it's not the same.

people didn't "forget" how to make hip hop music the equipment changed. certain swing signatures came from the equipment directly... 99.9% of people are not using hardware of 2 inch reel tapes today.

straight digital production will always sound thin to analogue heads. get passed it or stay jonesing for the past.

Cordae and Gibbs were dope but when Nas uses that It Was Written era flow he's unstoppable. Wish he would use that more often.



Since he's going back and giving us what we've been asking for:mjgrin:...

That's my issue with Hit Boy. His beats always sound sterile and I heard it immediately. After playing the original it clearly has more soul, swing, and the drums knock harder. The guitar riff is mixed too low and he added some sounds that drowned it out. There's more space in the Easy Moe Bee version. Hit Boy added more but did less.

Still a nice job though and I'm happy they brought it back.
there was literally 0 tracks recorded for a preme album

y'all been gassip up a myth for years and I have this hard copy in my storage.

Nas drops a new song ,,,guys are talking about something else you want while others complain about the new song

Nas can never please his audience.
