Nas - Queensfinest from DJ Clue? tape appreciation thread

[nieman]

I always thought that this was weak

 

[Stuckinthe90s]

Preferred the other one, "Live from da Bridge"

Underrated as fukk track.

Esco the boss, cash long, nikkas call me Blackula/
Cuz I'm in a castle with a bytch pouring wax on her/

That whole third verse he went it.

I had that album. It was Fab's debut. His song was called FABOLOUS. I think his rapper name was something else but they got mixed up and called him Fabolous and he ran with it afterwards.

The Jay-Z track is dope too. I always drop that when me and friends are sort of playing dope obscure tracks trying to impress each other. Everyone's always like oh, where is that from?!

Fabolous Sport with the Its Yourz freestyle(nah this is a funk flex song).
Ruff Ryders Anthem remix was tight. Raekwon had a dope song on here as well.

This, The Nature cut, and "Brown Paper Bag Thoughts" by Raekwon are the only shyt Im liking off The Professional. Sad to say Clue's first "album" was cheeks

dag, you ain't fukk with Ruff Ryder's Remix, DMX's It's On, Bleek's joint was dope....Mase/Foxy/Fab joint was commercial but that shyt was cool too...what else...the MOP joint with the DeBarge sample? that first Clue was probably the best commercially released mixtape ever.

DJ Clue tapes always had dope features

His name was Fabolous Sport...and he was on 2 tracks on The Professional...it was FABOLOUS and Thats The Way with Mase and Foxy Brown and u can barely tell between Mase and Fab on that joint. .lol...The Professional was a dope mixtape to me...it captured that era and basically wrapped up the year cause it came out at the end of 98...I believe DMX Flesh Of My Flesh was the only main release that came after it...

 

[KiD WavE]

meh my azz...why is this so overlooked....?????

Nas just has too much great material

from 12 albums to hundreds of unreleased tracks theres countless amounts of great songs some are bound to fall through the cracks

That Mobb Deep & Noyd shyt was crazy

Cam, Pun, Nore, & Canibus 'Fantastic 4'...

Jay & Ja 'Gangsta shyt'...

yeah bruh... that Professional shyt was thorough...

Professional 2 on the other hand... an album packed with so many top names and yet so much mediocrity.

 

[SoulController]

bleh, I didn't like Duro/Clue's beats

ruined some amazing collabs

 

[tybo]

the memories!!!!

Used to only cop dub sacks now I cop an O

That 1st 'Professional' album was beyond EPIC, just fire from beginning to end. Love "Queensfinest" but I can't lie, as soon as I heard the beat from the next track I wish NaS did that song instead of Nature but he still ripped it. It's just that BEAT was perfect for NaS.
