Official Nas Thread

Tough..

 

[spliz]

shyt Triple Beam Dreams is the reference

Yea I'm not sure we ever getting that Nas back unless he completely focuses on just rap for a good while. Lol.

Wasnt feeling that Clipse verse. I dont think i ever liked a Pharrell produced Nas song tbh. I hated that Flyest shyt

Single handily boosted rap to its truest place, f*** speaking candidly, I alone did rejuvenate, hip hop to its newest place

Yup if nikkas don't think he was rapping better in 2012 they can just go back and listen to "Nasty" for reference. Lol.

Nah, can’t co-sign. He rapping as good as 2012. Put The Truth on and tell me I’m lying.

The way I look at it is...

KD3 is just as good as "Life is Good". So yeah, he's just as dope as he was in 2012.

I’ll do you one better and say KDIII and Magic clear LIG and KD2 and Magic3 are just as good

Why did people think he phoned this in?

There's this thing Nas and his recording engineer(s) have been doing since King’s Disease , where he’ll lay down multiple takes, and the engineer ends up stitching them together. You can clearly hear it: different volume levels, vocal inflections, even shifts in energy, like it’s a totally different take dropped into the verse. Or it might be that shyt that Lil' Wayne does. Record, stop, record, hear it back, record, stop, take it back, record.

For example, on this track, the line “And that rings loud, and reverberates” sounds spliced in. The volume and tone of his voice noticeably shift. And there are several moments like that throughout the verse. It just ends up sounding disjointed.

Y'all stans tell his team that.

You are worried about that more than any of us. He is still the greatest rapper of all time, so it doesn’t matter.

They don't clear LIG especially with the bonus tracks. But I feel u. And as far as The Truth. I love that shyt and he was spitting like a muthafukka. But shyt he was doing in 2012 like Nasty, Triple Beam Dream etc etc. He just SOUNDED sharper and I'm not even saying he doesn't sound sharp now. It's just a slight difference.
