Pete Rock Likes Twitter User-‘Only Nas would make 5 LP w/ The Least Inspired Producer of All Time" Tweet

[Braman]

Premo, Pete Rock, and Alchemist do NOT organically match up with Nas any longer. Thats what this “Boom Bap Only”’contingent needs to understand. Nas has outgrown that box as an artist, if be hadn’t then he’d STILL be working with them. NO artist is going to listen to some beats by legendary producers, click with it, want to write to it, and just PASS on it. If Nas felt like he organically matched with Pete Rock it wouldn’t have taken 25 years for them to work together again, especially with Pete Rock crying and bytching about it. If Nas felt he organically matched with Alchemist it wouldn’t have taken 17 years for them to work together again. Nas and Dilla have ONE song together, The Season. Nas and Madlib have ZERO official songs together. Its impossible to say they would match with Nas organically

Again, I don’t know why people pidgeon whole fans wanting more organic Nas tracks as ‘boom bap ’. What does the even mean?!! When was the last time Nas was ‘boom bap’

Y’all also vastly underrated these elite level producers. Life is Good is primarily Salaam Remi and No ID. They belong to us ‘purists’. Did that sound boom bap? Does ‘Where’s the Love’ sound like ‘Like water for chocolate’ Did 4:44 sound dated? When kendrick Lamar goes to 9th 9h isn’t stupid he’s not giving Him a Fruity loops Joe Scudda throw away. Duckworth was modern and brilliant

Nggas clowning Pete Rock…so Rick ross can spit on some Pete but not Nas? Does this sound “boom bap” or ‘sleep inducing’

To me Salaam Remi is better than Hit Boy and from a production standpoint Life is Good is better than any of these albums…

Hit Boy is a good producer and the beats are fine he’s not a problem but Nas has declined vocally, lyrically, and I don’t like his attempts to ride trap beats shyt just don’t sound right, also his subject matter/themes have become predictable.

I’m also not sure why Nas chose to drop all these albums with the same producer he oversaturated. The albums are cool but all this classic, 4.5 mics shyt is stan talk.

4.5 mics isn’t Stan talk, you brehs are delusional, KD3 has a 88 metacritic score.

The reality according to Nas stans, sure. But you talk to most folks, SD, HHID, and Untitled were "cool" at best and that's why Life Is Good was such a shot in the arm for Nas' rep. shyt HHID and Untitled came out during the peak of my Nas' stannery and I still remember trying to convince people (and myself) that those albums were better than they actually were

Untitled was a good album, I’ve never been a Stan of any man but most your posts related to Nas in the last couple threads I’ve seen of you have been mostly negative, if you don’t like Nas albums don’t listen.

They’ve been mostly great and that’s the fan and critique view.

As insane, resentful, and passive aggressive as Pete Rock may be, and has been over the years, the fact that he has a legitimate argument for being the greatest producer to ever put his hands on a beat machine gives him a cachet on this topic that none of us, Nas, or Hit-Boy will ever have.

If he were to question Nas's pen game then that's a different story. But to argue Pete doesn't have any insight to speak on what backdrop would bring the best out of an MC, even one he hadn't worked with in decades, is just foolish. You literally could count the people more qualified to speak on this than Pete Rock on one hand.

Pete Rock ain’t qualified to talk for his generation this best output has been poor, no other top rapper works with him, Jay don’t, Kendrick don’t, J Cole don’t, why all the pressure on Nas? Based on one song in 94, you brehs need to get a life constantly talking about old topics.

Pete Rock hasn’t done anything recently for Nas to attach himself to him, he doesn’t need him, and hasn’t since 94, he’s had a great career since then without Pete Rock, a much greater career than Pete Rock has had since that time.

Stillmatic had a 69 MetaCritic score.

Do you think KD3 is better than Stillmatic?

Do you think Nas is rapping on the same level or sounds as good as he did then?

I'm not trying to be negative, it's just some of y'all are jumping off the reservation defending Nas. Nas is one of my GOATs but I still have the ability to be realistic about shyt.

I like the fact that Nas is still feeding us

I love that

But these Hitboy albums are not classics I’m skipping mad songs all the time
