That beat is crazy. Still, gucci can go choke on something phallic.
It isnt his content, I just find his flow horrible. Like, I can tolerate Wacka, but Guccis voice makes me want to rip holes in my ears.
Jarren has more in common with early em than danny brown, but i wouldn't expect you to like it, you're more into that easy listening lane of rap
you should take your talents to Music is Fun

Have you seen Nas interviews?
Especially the Peter Rosenberg interview/sit down.
Every Nas interview ends in embarrassment, without fail.
The last one with Rap Genius for instance, the first words to come out of Nas' mouth is "Wool produces electricity and stuff namsayin'."

Good for him. He deserves some good news. I mean, I still haven't made it through the whole album without falling asleep, but the dude deserves some success.
You suffer from Narcolepsy? That shit sucks bro.

Maybe it's a good album. Maybe the 2 times I've tried to listen to it I just wasn't in the mood for it. But as of right now, I haven't found anything that caught my ear on it outside of Nasty.
Yeah, I was just giving you shit. I just have a hard time seeing anyone falling asleep to Accident Murderers. Might be one of my favorite tracks of the year.

im laughing out loud at Nas saying that Hip Hop Is Dead is going to tell other rappers how to be a man
it's okay to say it fucking sucks. That its a fucking shitty album. That if i had a physical copy you would use it for target practice.
aint nothing wrong with that.

Nah breh this is 2002, after Stillmatic came out. His next album was God's Son (which was aite)
HHID was his first Def Jam album iirc
Yeah, it sucked. But, I was use to shitty Nas albums by that point. The title just pisses me off.
God's Son was ok. It had the same problem as IWW did with coming after a much better album. I think it had about 4-5 decent-good tracks.
4/5 out of 17 isnt aite
Ok, sub par. I dont think its "bad" though.
To me it has way too many tracks, way too many shitty tracks, and the production on it is just hot garbage. This is the inconsistency thing that I talk about with Nas. Usually his lyrical game is on point. But more often then not he'll churn out some shit in large quantities that is just so mind numbingly boring that I'll end up hating it way more than if i had just eaten a couple shit nuggets.
Like the difference between eating 2 slices of little caesars and attempting to down as much of a pizza hut pie as you can.
Yeah, it does suffer from bad production. But that has been a Nas staple for awhile now.
On another subject. Anyone else agree with me that Eminem is a pretty underrated producer?Now, Im not saying he is the greatest or even close. But for awhile, Em's production was very unique. Just take a look at his wiki page for his production.Much better than his acting anyways.

Yeah but how many of those are him going "Yo Dre, I have no snare. I have no snare in my headphones" then getting a production credit?
But no really, I kind of agree. Warrior Part 2 is a good beat anyway.
You notice a lot of those have co production credit. He still has plenty with just himself though. I think for awhile, if you wanted an Em feature, you also had to buy an Em beat, because most of his features are on his own production.

Hip Hop is Dead is pretty dope. Life is Good is just slightly worse. The best way of describing Life is Good IMO is to say it's the best Nas album since HHiD. That shit was more cohesive that anything Nas has put out in a decade.
EDIT: May as well put my impressions of Life is Good here. I've been listening to it a lot, which is kind of weird. I like so many songs off of it, which is also weird. I'm convinced I just don't know what I want from Nas anymore. It's like I have a constant disappointment even when he does put out dope songs. World is an Addiction is by far and away the stand out track. Anthony Hamilton + Nas make a great combination, they coincidentally had the one of the best songs off of Hip Hop is Dead too. I think Nas deserves the sales he was able to achieve though. For such a long hiatus, he put work in and made a lot of these songs good enough for people to know Nas has still got it.
And GFID is disappointing. I think peterb0y had the best review in this thread; it's like he's trying to distance himself from the Teflon Don sound and make a new sound while still trying to clutch onto some elements, causing the entire thing to fail altogether. Also PD made a good point about him making it for women to buy, it's clearly noticeable.

HHiD is really dope... But still like his fourth or fifth best album.
Really not a good point considering all of his albums but his first one are on that..

The thing about GFID is that nothing really hits hard as BMF/MC Hammer like in Teflon Don. He tries to capture that raw shit in some tracks but imo he never gets that far. Then from tracks 11-14, the tone of the album gets way too soft. Honestly, I wish those tracks didn't exist and I'd like the album more.
and by the way:

Teflon Don has a bunch of well done, well thought out SONGS. Since then, Ross seems unable to craft an actual song. Just a few bars and a chorus where he repeats the hook line over and over again. I dunno wtf happened...

I think GFID is a very well crafted CD.. It's not as good as TD but a good release.
Just one half, Yoda doesn't post here anymore.

Been away from my computer for a few days but quite a few things have come to my attention in the meantime. Action Bronson is a frontrunner for greatest rap lines spat this year on Midget Cough (teaming back up with Party Supplies) when he goes "Shoot eagles on the Jack Nicklaus course, Porsche with the triple exhaust, seats soft like a midgets cough".
Action Bronson - Midget Cough
I should also add that the above song is off of a new Mick boogie mixtape called Represent The Stripes that I've not had a chance to listen to or know where to get from yet but should be easy enough for anyone interested here to google.
Rich Boy and Supa Villain are finally doing a full joint mixtape together which should be real good and a couple of tracks have already leaked off of it.
Rich Boy & Supa Villain - High Class & Country ft. Playboi Lo
Rich Boy & Supa Villain - They Love It
Supa of Sortahuman has got a project out with Shawn Kemp (who produced all of Lil Ugly Mane's Mista Thug Isolation)
SupaSonic
I'm biased on this next one as I am quite into G-Side, but if you have any love for screwed and chopped music, I can't recommend this new project where some guy called Trappadon screwed and chopped their music highly enough. Block Beattaz production is just an insanely good fit for this shit.
G-Side - Chopped And Screwed By Trappadon
Tree has a new EP out that is all produced by Tony Baines. Not had a chance to listen to it yet and although i'm a little weary as a big draw of Tree's music is his own production, i'm definitely willing to give the man who blessed us with Sunday School a listen on whatever.
Tree & Tony Baines - The Lit
Zed Zilla is back with the sequel to Rents Due. While I was only enamored with a few joints on his first one i've been pretty impressed with the leaks of this one so far so i'm hopeful this is gonna be a good release in full.
Zed Zilla - Rents Due 2
His fellow Tennessee rapper Starlito also has a new project out and if you haven't listened to Mental Warfare you should as you're missing out on one of the better projects of this year.
Starlito - Post-Traumatic Stress
Lastly, Fly Lo has done another beat for someone to rap over that is pretty cool.
Jeremiah Jae - Cat Fightttttt
Action Bronson - Midget Cough
