Never understood the hate for "Nas is Coming"

[Dat Migo]

awful beat

 

[King Biko]

Probably the pac disrespect

 

[DrHackenbush]

When I first listened to IWW some years ago, it was easily one of my favorite songs on the album.

Go online and see that most fans generally hate it. I was shocked.

same here fam..People normally complain about the beat but I think its dope..The verses were crazy too

 

[Ziggiy]

Great lyrics, ok beat, TERRIBLE intro

 

[H.S.]

Great lyrics, ok beat, TERRIBLE intro

The intro is classic breh.

 

[H. Selassie]

Probably the pac disrespect

I used to think it was this + Jay Z fans being petty

But I've seen even diehard Nas fans act like this joint was and I ain't get it.

 

[Chip Skylark]

Nas is my GOAT, but that chorus makes the song unbearable. God that maybe the worst hook of all time

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

It's a decent song that had the misfortune of being surrounded by some truly stellar songs on the best rap album I've ever heard

 

[Newportbox]

Doesn't fit with the vibe of the album. The hook is trash too.

 

[SirBiatch]

I used to think it was this + Jay Z fans being petty

But I've seen even diehard Nas fans act like this joint was and I ain't get it.

Because it is

Nevermind the garbage intro. The beat is straight garbage. The hook is garbage. I don't think I've ever heard the song in full. Or maybe once. It's that hard to listen to.

 

[Tunes]

Muthafukking Dre..........



AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Suspicions]

Aside from the cheesy hook I never understood why cats front on this song so hard. The beat is dope (prototypical 95-96 Dre beat.) And needless to say, Nas killed it.



"The Golden Child shot that ass up cause you was holdin out
Let the streets be the court, the corners hold the trial
Fatal not fictitious, I rock the cable 86 shyt
Foreign cars young with crazy bytches
Mad smoke makes me able to quote
Solicitin, ill editions of that Murder I Wrote
A provocative plan, can bring a knot to my hand
As the pyramids that stand on top of the sand
In the heat of the moment
Like Farrakhan said, we need atonement"


"In the black limo, Jack Daniels through the cracked window
I spot the fake, red dot his face like a Hindu"


"Rap hero, black DeNiro
Federal Bureau, tapped my line and got zero"

That shyts tough, the intro and the hook are the only parts i hear people complain about

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Muthafukking Dre..........



AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Nas killed it though

Mad smoke makes me able to quote
Soliciting ill editions of that Murder I Wrote
A provocative plan can bring a knot to my hand
As the pyramids that stand on top of the sand

 

[WaveGang]

song had no hope after "SUPPPP NASSSS"
lyrics were tight but easily worst song on the album

Silent murder???? Da hell

 

[mson]

Yeah the song has always been underrated.

Nas' flow is so smooth. In fact his flow throughout IWW is

And I like the spacey, hypnotic beat.

No doubt it could've been better but Dre wasn't really putting out much heat around this time anyway so it's about as good as can be expected.

I agree. I liked it.
