this thread have 2.7 posts but only sold 150k first week! niggas you should atleast made it go 300k first week. unloyal fans
I hope Nas come back on his next album with some political conscious isn.
It was cool to hear his everyday life personal ish but ai need some Black fist music from Nas, that Afrikan consciousness with the street poetics.
I know the critics are going to lavish him with extra praise because he abandoned those themes and they can appreciate that kinda like when Denzel won the Oscar for Training Day instead of "Malcolm X".
I'm already excited about the next project with this one still in heavy rotation.

"I want someone who like the champagne I like
My a-alike
Someone to talk me off the bridge any day or night
She teach me how to live, she ain’t afraid of life
Not easily impressed with the rich and famous life
Cause she done been there and heard all the rumors before
She love or she ride out with me on my music tour
She like the herb's natural medicine
She cooking good
She tell me everything is cool when it ain't looking good
For real, the world so ill
Yo I want a girl so real
Who not after material wealth but get dough still
Or maybe an educator, a lady with etiquette
Who can be from out the hood or even work for the President
As long as there’s no selfishness
Yes, as long as her love for the people is deep rooted and evident
You can be easily recruited, you’re heaven sent
Your smile put me at ease
You’re the woman I need but where is she."
Should have been a single.

Salute my brother Khemist
We were able to keep the trolls quarantined and focused on Ross so they were distracted from ruining our Nas thread...a sacrifice we made for the good of HipHop
It is indeed a great album but for some crazy reason I want a Lost Tapes to compliment this album.
Nas clearly got another 10 albums in him and I'm copping all of them.

i appreciate the sacrifice. i visit this thread a few times a day and in my 8 yrs or so here this is the best..
The positive energy you brothers put into this thread is unmatched.
i agree, a Lost Tapes to compliment the album with some of his more street-oriented tales would have only added to Esco's already stellar year.
and last but not least "quarantined" LOL

He's about to drop a Brooklyn Movie called Red Hook Summer
Yeah yo, I been wanting to check that out since I seen that poster in the D Train subway station on 167th.
I think I read that Mookie from Do The Right Thing made a cameo in that movie.

Something always happening in BKLYN. A lot of reckless killings. They slowing down on the "stop & frisk policy". They only giving violators that get caught smoking weed outside fines.... I'm going on 3 weeks without smoking weed which I haven't done so in a while. My cousin and I plan on going to the Rock The Bells Concert in Jersey so i plan on getting fucked up on that day....
Back in my High School days, I use to cut school and smoke @ the Brooklyn Promenade & Brooklyn Bridge Park. Can't do that no more. They cleaned up the place and it looks really nice..... I suggest anybody that visits Brooklyn to go over there.
Then we have the Brooklyn Nets stadium almost done. Everytime i go to downtown Brooklyn Fulton mall i see a lot of people rocking the Brooklyn Nets gear. I still rock rare vintage Brooklyn Dodgers fitteds. I will never rock a Brooklyn Nets snapback. Beware of those fake all of a sudden Brooklyn Nets fans. I'm going to the Knicks versus Brooklyn Nets game and rocking my Knicks gear like Spike Lee

Nice drop. Brooklyn Story. On da real tho, Spike always comes thru.
Lemme ask, since u a hiphop head... Wuz u stil livin in da Bk when Biggie droppd Ready to Die? And who do cats think is the better emcee?
Ready to Die shook the game. Big wuz raw..

I’m the shaky hand that touched George Foreman in
Zaire
I was thirteen when Ready To Die and iLLmatic came out and my brother use to always blast it. Beautiful year. Thats the same year i started to smoke weed in junior high school. The first rap albums i bought was iLLmatic and Onyx Bacdafucup. Dudes was playing iLLmatic heavy when it came out.
In Brooklyn people will always say Biggie & Jay Z are the greatest..... I'm one of the few that don't think like the rest. I will always have NaS as the Best EmCee over Biggie & Jay Z.
BROOKLYN!!!! Born and raised..... Every now and then i like traveling to other states and experiencing other shit from Hood 2 Hood
If you are going to ROCK THE BELLS i might see you there man.

Salute @uolag.
That Spike Lee movie gon be the first time he acted in a movie since 99. He's reappearing as Mookie.
Yall get it on the east coast before it's released in select theaters nationally.
My OG out here from Brownsville 31 years old also tells me Nas >>> Jay by far and Pac > Biggie. It's good to see that region don't cloud everyone's vision.
You ready for Rock The Bells breh?? LIFE IS GOOD!
