What I always found so funny about Takeover is that is was supposed to finish nas and make his "career come to a end"... but it backfired spectacularly and instead revitalized nas' career. If jay used all that ammo about his baby moms and dissed nas after he released the worst album of his...
The way NY abandoned Ja back in 03 was disgusting. No loyalty at all. Fans just can't think for themselves. Then somehow Fif jacked his style and got away with it. Unbelievable.
God's Son also had some ugly ass beats for sure:
Zone Out (no need to comment on this one)
The Cross (abomination, i don't ever want to hear it again. clown beat)
last real nikka alive (garbage beat again. its almost an acapella)
hey nas (trash)
mastermind (very underwhelming.)
dance (even...
wow, that Streets Disciple album was horrible. The production on there sounded like it was from 86. I remember so many times a beat would start out ok but then he changed it halfway through the song and fuckin ruined it. The only songs I liked on that album was Thief's Theme, Just A Moment, and...
It Was Written has more classic songs, better production and more replay value. It's also aged a hell of a lot better. Only elitists say Illmatic is better because they prefer the deeper and more meaningful content. They hate the flossing and flashiness of IWW. IWW was nas at his best. He got...
This album is special. It will definitely stay with me for a long, long time. Lyrically he's from another planet. What Lupe just did is destroy all the bullshit and set the standard for every other emcee in the game. They can't fuck wit him. He aint about just lyrics either. He can really flow...
What an amazing return to form. That whole "truth be told pursuit of gold" verse left me in awe, just like many other verses on the album. The kid is gifted and everyone knew he could drop a banger. He just needed to be free and spit without restrictions. Lupe don't ever retire the game needs...
Song is fucking genius. one of my favorites from the album along with poison
one knee I duck, could it be my time is up?
I'm sure he won verse of the year for that whole 1st vrse
This shit is garbage. I kept hearing all the hype about he's "here for more than just music" and is supposed to be doing "Gods's work"...and this album is massively underwhelming. I dont believe the hype one damn bit. The whole thing sounds disjointed from start to finish. He's tryna be smart...
