Nas will never have another radio hit.

Wasn't "I Know I Can" kind of a radio hit?
He could pull some corny shit like that again.

Hearing Collard Greens at the bar. Probably the only Oxy track with lasting appeal, mostly thanks to that beat and the kdot stimulus. Just like Fuckin Problems, he's the MC that elevates an otherwise unremarkable club/bar track. Always a treat hearing him somewhere like this.

Edit--wrong thread
I don't know why Nas even needs to have a radio hit. Dudes 40 and his last album just sold over 300k. I mean shit, we were just talking about how Future couldn't even pop 50k, and how many hits has he had?
Nas has his lane, does it well and should stick to it. Nas is STILL selling albums because of Illmatic. People go back and listen to that shit, release it's a classic and then get on board with Nas and look out for his next album.

First Gerstmann and now Q. Feelings are getting caught on twitter tonight.

ahahaha damn
ah, nice! ive been following the dude's twitter but not too closely, im already sold on volume 2 and dont wanna see too much of it
jelly, but then im waiting to see if we get a PS4 version honestly...plus having platted Demons & Dark 1 i'm not in a hurry to take that all on again heh
(what sucks about this though is that i have to have radio silence on DS2 details to not have shit ruined & end up missing the inevitable pre-nerfing madness)
feelin this selection, mostly because its about as polar as you can get to what works right now, not much scratches that specific PE itch for me
first ive heard of it but copping now
this is pretty much what i think all of us are hoping for, kinda goes without saying (unless you're crazy kams & hated LIG tho)
we already have a mismatched production lineup, i don't need more potential dust on this project
Drake is the one who elevated Fuckin' Problems IMO
I wasn't a huge fan of Kendrick's verse but he had the most memorable line.
definitely. the song may as well be over by the time Kendrick gets on.

Drakes verse is good, but it always goes down with Duckworth's verse in my experience. I agree it's a dumpy song outside his and maybe Drake's verses.

I don't remember one line from Drake's Fuckin Problems verse tbh. It was his song though.
It's Rocky's song but who remembers that. I love the dude but he's busy being cut into pop songs he doesn't belong on. I'm a borderline stan for the dude but I don't need to hear him ruin Jessie Ware or Lykke Li tracks. His dumb lyrics are embarrassing.

Drake handed him the song because Rocky needed a single pretty much.
Pretty much. I won't lie, I'm a Drake fan, but Ducky still owned that track.
Poetic Justice quality-wise is probs the best drake stimulus package track. That or YG who do you love.
A Nas/Em track would be weird. I'm trying to picture what sort of production it would be on, and it likely would be on a grittier beat more well suited for Em's style.
I hope it happens because they are two of the greatest ever to rock a mic but its sounding weird in my head. I just hope Em wouldn't come on that fuckery and would be spitting murderer bars or something.
EDIT: 50 Cent ft. Kidd Kidd, Prodigy, Havoc & Styles P - Chase The Paper. Not bad. I can't get over Kidd Kidd's voice. He could be the nicest ever to do it but I wouldn't be able to tell.

Yo who the fuck is this Officially Ice dude anyways? I know people who follow him and he shows up anywhere. Is he just a twitter celeb? Dude looks like a broke ass Smack.

Q shouldn't catch feelings like that, but meh.
Kendrick pretty much owns Fuckin Problems. I think the song is hot garbage and every verse isn't any good, really. BUT everybody still goes in for that Kendrick verse. "Girl. I know you want this dick" is essentially the reason to throw the damn song on.

are you serious? kendrick was actually laughable on fuckin problems.
You can only make a hit if you make a song for strippers, gywenth Paltrow or whatever is on top of the social agenda of white America. Nas does none of the above. I agree that he overpowers beats and you're never going to get a hit when the beat plays a secondary role, he should proabably copy Kanye and rap over a barebones beat and then the producer adds extra shit like screams or whatever.
Even the Illmatic producers did something similar where nas originally rapped over different beats for some of the songs.

I guess I am the only one who liked Fucking Problems?
Just sounded so different for a radio hit than the usual stuff we hear in NYC nowadays. Wife liked it so much she insisted on listening to the Kendrick album after hearing the song. As a single its really inoffensive.
When I think of Nas making something that both works for him and the radio, that's the kind of song I imagine working. Not something Jay does or other commercial rappers pull off easily.
Would love a Nas-Em collabo. Don't understand why its never happened outside of Em producing a track for Nas way back when.

It was a pretty good single, catchy hook and I like all the verses, but Drake >>>> K.Dot on that song.
Now that you mention it I don't think I've ever come close to disliking a Kendrick verse. Either he's really good or I'm just a filthy, cum guzzling stan. Possibly both are true.
better to be pointlessly hopeful like PD than conspiratorially bitter
I really hope there is a PS4 version, the PC version blows the console versions out of the water
That's all I really want as well. Life Is Good is not Illmatic or It Was Written, but it's a solid album
It really was and it got annoying rather quickly

Man, why isn't TiRon even a hipster favourite already? His shit is so relatable for 20-somethings, I would've thought more people would be on he and Ayomari by now =/
lol, how does this song even manage to work? Freddie so versatile.

They're not BAD per se, but they all have a 2008 mixtape feel to them thats gonna guarantee a flop album.
Yo, did we ever talk about Pharrell's race comments? That boy fucked up heavy lmao.

No doubt, 50 aint selling albums like he used to. But all these interviews hes done recently talking about aiming music at his core audience is holding true. Ill buy the album because I know there will be some bangers on it. Just like all his albums.

yeah. I really liked BISD for the most part. Was it a classic? Naw, but it was overall a pretty good album.
Lol. I sorta get what he's trying to say, BUT it's still super dumb.

Oh no, oh no no no
Yup. He was trying to be inspirational but with the 'new black' thing he took the i'm better than you route. HUGE mistake.
It's okay though, because Pharrell's fans seem mostly white.
