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

[Jean toomer]

Pete Rock is a full on weirdo. Not just for his Nas takes but some of the strange outright bizarre shyt he used to post on social media and how almost EVERYONE whose worked with him extensively has at one point been fed up with him. Pete ain’t all the way there.


Probably best for both Nas and Hit Boy to just ignore him. He seems like the type that just wants attention. Why he’s always seemed so fixated with Nas i don’t know, but dude be off his rocker

Man was anti vax … before Covid…like measles, mumps, influenza…so there’s that.

I mean he’s not exactly wrong

Hit boy is not a bad producer at all, he definitely has great beats…but lost in all this excitement over ‘Omg new Nas’ is that we got 5 albums and not 1 is classic or unskippable. Maybe not even a 4.5 micer. It’s more about the blessing of getting new Nas music, more about quantity than pure quality.

Production wise there is no ‘Be’, no Almost Dry, no hell hath no fury, not even a 4:44. Dudes like Alchemist, madlib, Pharrell etc have better batting average on fully produced albums. You get 5 cracks at it with Nas you supposed to have at least 2 classics

Now in Hit boys favor he hs a more diverse sound than those guys. His range is crazy, he doesn’t have a signature ‘sound’. But the potential downside to that is I you just KNOW a hit boy produced album is gon have a bunch of beats you don’t like and don’t even fit Nas

Kings Disease 2 is better than any album u mentioned

I think any of the last 2 KDs or Magic 1 can be that. A lot of these albums have come out one after the other so I think when people look back when they came out they’ll remember and we’ll what perspective is

I’ve seen albums from his like Stillmatic and Life is Good be called classic and then not and then again called one.

Plus it’s not like a lot of other independent stuff is also getting remembered like that or with cultural impact and yet it’s been a good last couple of years of hip hop releases that will definitely be remembered as classic later

So you just need time and perspective. For the longest people said Nas had 1 classic. Some people say Drake and Cole have none .

I love the Hit Boy series but I wont pretend like the hardest Nas beat of the last few years aint the Art of It by Pete Rock on Lost Tapes 2

And Nobody supported LT2 at all

Imagine telling Nas how he should be inspired....

 

[Family Lives Matter]

If nas had an album produced by MF doom/metro boomin/ jay dilla/madlib/Quincy Jones and Phill Spector people would still complain about his production

 

[prophecypro]

Anyway it’s getting tiring that more people will argue over dumb shyt like this when it’s been proven wrong and it’s just pretentious bad faith criticism of art

 

[Heavy_Handz]

That tweet is accurate as fukk

 

[Slim Charles]

the obsession with Nas by Pete Rock is bizarre. Imagine being so salty about someone you've done basically 2 songs for in 25+ years. It still wouldn't be valid but if Salaam, Premier or LES or something was frustrated they didn't do more work with Nas in this era, I'd disagree but at least you had history

Dame Grease got more history with Nas

 

[Bolzmark]

Overall the beats Hit Boy has done for Nas are kinda average

 

[Pop123]

Nigs hate Hitboy, .

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

That Hitboy shyt has run it's course but Pete is a bitter, bitter man.

 

[Pop123]

Where did Kanye say Nas can’t do the double time flow? Lol

I think he can do it…I just don’t want to hear it, . Hitboy probably be gassin him to do that shyt more, smh

 

[Trace]

I see why music is the way it is today to be honest lmao.

 

[Dolo]

 

[Cladyclad]

But when a white man praise nas his skin don’t matter.

U dudes have no shame
