This song was so dope. So many things about this song were dope. It was really ill, 1 of my favourites. He made it feel so real, I wonder if it really was his book of rhymes or if that was the concept. Regardless it's a great song.

he should be applauded for making a half decent song out of that plodding, cartoon villain-esque garbage beat that Eminem gave him on the same album.


:deadmanny:

Perfect description. Such a trash beat. Listen to The Cross and Moment of Clarity and tell me they don't sound exactly the same.

I think I read Eminem actually gave those beats away and didn't even charge for them. :skip:

It should've been this

I always figured he was just doing some stream of consciousness raps and then added in some papers being crumpled up, and that it was just a concept song. Alchemist made it seem like he really was reading through old rhymes.



“That happened like how the song sounds, I couldn’t even front. We were sitting there one day, working on his album in Orlando. I had a bunch of beats going through the ASR.

"Nas had brought a bunch of books out to Orlando because I guess he writes in his off time. He was going through shyt and I was playing a beat and he said, ‘Yo that shyt would be ill right?’ And I said, ‘What?’ And he said, ‘Yo I'm just going through rhymes.’

“I didn’t even know what he meant to be honest, then he just told the engineer to track the beat in. We tracked it in and he just did what he did. He went in there like he was on a mission. He knew what he was about to do. And it was ill!

“I remember later I wanted to spruce the beat up and put breakdowns in it and he was like, ‘Nah, it has a vibe like we’re really just in the studio and you put on a rough beat and I am just going through rhymes. If you put in breakdowns then its gonna sound too contrived.’ As a producer, I want to do all the bells and whistles but he made a good call.

He's an artist and I don’t wanna reveal his magic tricks, but I remember after recording a few lines or so, he went back and recorded the sound of the paper flipping the page. When he stopped the line or crumpling the page.

“He's an artist in every sense. We all know from his track record how great he is and it’s not like he stumbled on it. I wish I could say I had something more to do with that song than me making the beat. But, no, sorry guys. Give all the credit to Nas.”

Ayo - Nas lost and everything...but "Book Of Rhymes" is the second worse Alchemist beat of all time,
behind The High & Mighty - "Weed".

the irony of that bar on a beat form the corniest guy who could have provided him with one.

lol truth. though no matter what all "eminem" beats are just dre beats to me

so when he says that i just think dr dre. em, storch, mel, etc = dre.

This song was so dope. So many things about this song were dope. It was really ill, 1 of my favourites. He made it feel so real, I wonder if it really was his book of rhymes or if that was the concept. Regardless it's a great song.

it really was the concept and really his rhyme books, nas is the truth.
