Nas wasting a beautiful Alchemist beat UNAPPRECIATION

[DeuceCypherUno]

he didn't ruin this beat

I don't think this beat is a top Alchemist beat or Nas song tho. Revolutionary Warfare was better.

They should have worked more often. Both of them are in my Top 5 in their respective fields.

Hold up OP. At first I thought you was trolling. Now I'm getting a little worried. You do realize that the entire song was a concept in itself right????

nah. seems to me like he had nothing for the beat so just spat throwaways over it, then made THAT the concept. I digress though. Neg on brehs

This is one of the most original concepts for a song my dude.

This thread backfired.

i'm a writer breh. so to me it's nothing to spit random one liners you saved over the years, it's just the fact that he made it seem like he purposely did this which was lame to me. the beat deserved a let my nikkas live or verbal intercourse type flow, not this one line here one line here 10 seconds of dead space fukkery you nikkas is calling a classic. there's nothing wrong with not having a topic, let's just say nas did that better job with that on we major.

go suck yuh muma battyboy

 

[newworldafro]

Wait a minute, we both need our mother's attention
I must crazy, jealous of my own baby infant



Even the pauses and stops in the song make it classic..

Only thing wrong with this song is need for a followup, "Book of Rhymes II" and "III" ...

This track got incredible spins on my CD player in 2002-2003 on that masterpiece called God's Son

 

[TheDarceKnight]

If anything I was letdown that Nas didn't use the original beat that had the change ups and stuff in it.



I was expecting either Too Late or My Will when I opened the thread, since they're both only 1 verse.
