How come Nas can't get to Platinum anymore?

[Who Cares???]

Fact is, Nas music has no replay value. I dont remember the last time I heard a post-Stillmatic song played by any club, dude riding around the city, or any black man in general. People thinking Nas didnt wanna sell records with his last two solo projects are braindead. The HHID gimmick, the red carpet N1gger shirt debacle (even had a damn white person in one) was tools of promotion with hopes of increasing album sales. Like Nas all of a sudden forgets that this shit is a business and doesnt want to get paid.

niggas was feeling all the black album shit.

Money Cash Hoes got play too

and dont try and make it unfair cuz Nas tried to fo shit with Lil Jon and flopped.

You must be a Jay hater to bring dude up for no reason

[Like Water]

that sound like some made up shit.

come to Dallas and see how many Nas fans there are

i know about early rap

the 80s was bullshit

niggas started to advance in the 90s and lyrics were at the best from like 98 til now

Illmatic was simple as hell

was Illmatic more lyrical than the Blueprint or Reasonable Doubt?

What about Tha Carter or Carter 2?

and just cuz im 21 now doesnt mean i cant judge Illmatic properly.

The shit is on my computer and i listen from time to time.

but shit is mediocre

Thank Me Later and all Kanye albums shit on Illmatic

..........

Wow bruh...one song from the album a couple of cars was playin. HMMMMMMMMMM...jus like niggas was down here playin "hate Me Now" and "made u look" down here too. My point exactly give or take a few songs from Jay's catalog (very few) the southern streets dont be rockin with that nigga or any other NY niggas music.

NAS done went plat 6 times 900k 1nce and a plat group album and he is almost 20 yrs in outside of Jay what other artist that deep in the game is plat? Hell Cube,LL,Face and pretty much all the other older greats fell off sell wise. its a young mans game today when it comes to sales. young kids and women in their teens and 20's arent gonna buy a Nas album truth be told.

only dumbasses edit posts
these were all black people

 

[GSonII]

Nas career is indicative to what happens to every real MC/Rapper that focuses on anything other than making hits. They get to a point where people start to talk all that should have, could have, would have mess. They start to talk about the old artist and how they were so much better. They simply get stale to people that only want hits and that is most. So, they become lucky to sell gold.
