Nas - Queensfinest from DJ Clue? tape appreciation thread

[MoneyBags]

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.

yooo....how the fukk did I forget the Mobb joint? Fantastic 4...Jay and Ja's joint. yeah, that first Clue GOES. I'm throwing that shyt in the whip for the ride home.

word, that second clue was ass cheeks compared to the first one. I still smh @ Fantastic 4 pt 2 having 5 people on it.

Fantastic four pt 2 was fire though

yeah, it was one of the few songs on professional 2 that i liked, along with Live From The Bridge and the Meth/Royce/Em joint.

This track was disappointing to me at the time.
The Mobb track was fire

Anyone else notice that DJ Clue speeds up DMX's It's On?! I couldn't figure out why Clue's version made me so much more HYPE until I played the album version and the Mixtape side by side.

Queens bytches stepped it up with thick thighs yo

Dope track. I wish this would've seen some type of official release as opposed to some weak ass mix tape. I wonder what album session it was originally made for.

clues first album was not no "weak ass mixtape"

your buggin.

Severely underrated, I'd put it in top 20 Nas tracks easily. Lots of other dope songs on that project also. Joint with EPMD and Redman, No Love with MOP, also Mobb Deep feature, Hov, Loso, etc.

word that album was flames

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

you buggin as well homey;

dmx solo track
def squad song
mobb deep/ noyd track
lord tariq track
m.o.p. song
fantastic 4
boot camp song

i also loved the sequencing, he made it so the end of side A and the beginnin of side B get fast fowarded so when you flip the tape it was exactly on the mobb deep track

basically track 10-15 are all the soft, R&B shyt, then it goes back to the hard shyt

Not sure how it compares to Professional 2 - that one had Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel on track with Dogg Pound, also LOX on track with Killa, Nature and Fabolous. 2nd part of tape is a lot darker with Muggs, Redman, Mobb Deep and CNN features. Overall all three tapes are must listen.

On a side note I'm also a fan of Funkmaster Flex Commercial Retail Mixtapes.
Nas Freestyle on Vol.2 is his best freestyle on record.

 

[Lurking Class Hero]

the professional is severely underrated

True! @DJ Rhude is supposed to be hooking us up with some more Nas Found Tapes. It would be nice if that Live from the Bridge NO DJ would surface.
