Nas - Life Is Like A Dice Game (feat. Cordae & Freddie Gibbs)
- Thread starter Dylmatic
- Start date
He finally finished it28 years later he finished it
This song came up randomly in my car the other day and was just remarking how he should have finished it
Nas and Gibbs 
Cordae killed this. The second verse I’ve heard from him where he snapped. Might have to check his shyt out.
Alright now that I’ve calmed down. Cordae came correct and Gibbs tried but his verse felt like a rush job and Nas killed it as usual.
i had to imagine that i never heard the original in order to enjoy this.

In regards to sampling, not necessarily if the right material is itemized, you can get the sound you're looking for if what you're sampling is/has that sound.
that's cool if you think so I totally disagree
every evolution and new iteration of digital music storage formats has involved a listening hurdle to real audio heads because they hear the loss of weight and dimension in sound. from the first cd's pressed to all the early digital storage formats before lossless there's been a constant quest to get it right but it never is 100 the same and it physically can't be. what happens more often is we actually adapt to the change in sound but newer listeners more than old heads because they don't know what's missing
it was nikkaz who still swore by vinyl and 8 track tapes when we were coming up with cd's and cassette tapes... they could hear the characteristics we miss. how sound is recorded, mastered and played back all have a role in that "sound"
you can take a fire sample and choke the life out of it with digital degradation as often happens with digital samplers and unlike with analogue samplers it's not a desirable kind of degradation it's harsh. for example the first half of the cure on Kings Disease when hit sped up that sample it sounds harsh because of whatever digital sampler he's using algorithm. sped up samples sound way better on hard samplers the sound degradation is actually pleasant

Wow. This shyt used to turn up on mixtapes back in the day but was only like a minute. I’ve never heard somebody go back and finish a track that was like two decades old
We are blessed!
All did a great job to me..
Was hoping he would
finish this song!
It's a shame that people can't enjoy
the track for what it is. But you can't
please everybody.

Nothing will match the original but glad to hear he finished it GOAT
og beat is better BUT this is fukking fire
He really did turn back the clock with the new verse
The only thing that really is different with Nas than in his prime is his breath control with his flow. He kinda gets winded, but it’s very few and far between and not noticeable like that unless you a super fan of his
Most of that can be attributed to age and Nas ain’t really a workout guy like that. If he dropped some pounds and laid off some of that henny & blunts
he’d prolly sound just like 2001 Nas all the timeBut he definitely still has IT
