Nas - Life Is Like A Dice Game (feat. Cordae & Freddie Gibbs)

[spliz]

Nah. And what Hit-Boy did was more impressive. A raw flip with all the guts in it like the OG is much easier than a full recreation with new instrumentation and melodies.

Nah. If it don’t sound as good what’s the point? Not saying it doesn’t sound good. It sounds dope. But the original has more soul to it. And he DEF needs to add more swing to the drums. That’s not even debatable.

 

[spliz]

You dudes need to shut up about this shyt

If you like the unfinished one, keep listening to that one then. This nitpicking is ridiculous.

I like both. But there’s nothing wrong with comparing the original beat. That doesn’t make this song any less dope.

Nas/hitboy needs to get that bum JayElectronica on a song! Maybe it will rejuvenate him to make better music.

That jawn he did with Jay was a trash can!

 

[Izanami]

Been on repeat on Spotify.

 

[SoSoSlick]

shyt legit gave me that feeling

 

[King Ming]

Nas needs to drop those D'Angelo, Meth and Wu joints

 

[Life is Good]

Its probably just a spotify special for a week and it will be on other platforms after.

That’s exactly the original plan.

 

[Life is Good]

once his people realize the lost revenue and advertising from only having it on spotify, im sure they'll work their contract magic to get it released to other platforms

The plan was to release it on other platforms after a week.

The Meth joint didn't end up happening, from what i read on an article before is that scheduling preventing them from getting in the studio together.

EDIT:

But according to DJ Mike Nice, “the Meth session in 96 never took place, Meth was to be on it was written but missed the studio session” and “D’angelo missed his session with Nas as well.”

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

 

[Majestyx]

didnt know people was anti spotify like that

I believe Meth said that the song he was supposed to be on was Suspect.


I could never place what song D’angelo would be on unless it was scrapped entirely. Maybe he was supposed to be on Black Girl Lost and they just got Jo Jo on as a replacement?

Basically. He didn’t have enough swing on any part of the beat. Plus it was too quantized. This is an issue a lot of modern producers have when it comes to trying to produce something with a natural sound.

 

[The War Report]

Song doesn't have the rawness of the OG.

 

[JuvenileHell]

He finally finished it 28 years later he finished it

Destiny, that's the naaaaaame
