Feeling the production based on the snippets

 

[deathrowzorrow]

Damn the snippets made my day...

Summer on Smash sounds like a great summer track

 

[Stew]

Snippets dropped?

How it sound from anybody other then buttah or zorrow

 

[Kame]

these snippets sound great

summer on smash sounds like trash already though

everything else sounds dope as hell

 

[lamontbdc]

snippets come on yall really waste time on that shit

might aswell just wait for the full track

 

[saracenwire]

I gotaa be honest. Listengin to those snippets really damper my enthusiasm for the album. I basically only liked the songs that have already been realeased.

 

[illedout]

in case yall forgot..

Smoking a escubano, guzzle my second bottle

Hope I don’t catch a homo (homicide)

Grossing our net

Simultaneously making me climb higher, heinous crimes behind me

Search but can’t find me

Fuck sadness

Had this been you havin’ this lavish

Habitual happiness as me you wouldn’t look backwards

You would have sex on condominium roof decks

So anyone move next

I’ll hit you with two techs

Rocking Roberto Cavalli no shirt on convertible Mazy

My Columbiana mommy ridin beside me

Every tat mean something, that’s my word on my body

I’ll have to lean something wit that Mossberg shotty

My niggas is ignant, put lead in yo pigment

Just cuz y’all was mad at all the years I was getting it

In 97 the six

98 the Bentley

Now it’s the Ghost Phantom

And ya’ll can’t stand ‘em but…

[Verse 2]

Army Jacket swag Army jacket green and black

Wit the square top pocket that snaps

Where the gas at?

Pass that, not you

You hold cracks in your ass crack

I never did that, my sock where my stash was at

Yo I used to listen to that red alert and rap attack

I fell in love with all that poetry I mastered that

Cuttin school with Preme team where phat cat was at

Future not crystal clear yet Baccarat

Now I'm the one that’s reppin Queens way beyond your wildest dreams

Bottles on bottles with sparklers surround my team

That long cash get the baddest bitches out they jeans

20 years in this game lookin 17

I don’t lean: no codeine, promethazine

I just blow green, pick which bitch to bless the king

Although he’s on to another chapter

Heavy D gave this beat to Salaam for me to rap to

Blaaaah…

[Verse 3]

Yeah yeah..

New York is like an Island a big Rikers Island

The cops be out wildin, all I hear is sirens

It’s all about surviving same old two step

Tryna stay alive when

They be out robbin, I been out rhyming

Since born knowledge like prophet Muhammad

Say the ink from a scholar

Worth more than the blood of a martyr

So I’mma

Keep it on til I see billion dollars

Keep your friends close and ya enemies closer

Love model chocha mommy pop it like she suppose to

Eyes red shot like I’m never sober

Big time smoker Indonesian doja

Minis me you can hold up before you get all wet up from my soldiers

Don shit

Under fire I remain on some calm shit

This for every ghetto and the hood

Nas the Don and Supercat the Don Dotta

Understood…

The Don..

LIFE IS GOOD..

[Igot5onit]

that "Stay" joint sounds legendary.

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

Oh shit i forgot. where is that sample in reach out from?

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

This nigga nas about to have blueprint production. Its a wrap.

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

Forgot where stay's sample came from

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

The piano shit in reach out is from

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

the horns in stay from

 

[illedout]

remember this verse when Nas spit about being a prison cell..I'ma prison cell six by nine

Livin hell stone wall metal bars for the gods in jail

My nickname the can, the slammer, the big house

I'm the place many fear cause there's no way out

I take the sun away put misery instead

When you wit me most folks consider you dead

I saw too many inmates fallin apart

Call for the gods and let them out when it's dark

Convicts think they alone but if they listen close

They can hear me groan touch the wall feel my pulse

All the pictures you put up is stuck to my skin

I hear ya prayers (even when ya whisperin)

I make it hotter in the summer colder in the winter

If the court paroal ya then another con enters

No remorse for your tears I seen em too often

When you cry I make you feel alive inside a coffin

Watch you when you eat play with you mind when you sleep

Make you dream that you free then make you wake up to me

Face to face with a cage no matter your age

I can shatter you turn you into a savage in rage

Change ya life that's if you get a chance to get out

Cause only you and I know what sufferings about

Yo it's stunning when bed sheets become your woman

And I'm the one that gotcha weapons when the beef is comming

Maybe one day I'll open up my arms to release you

You'll always be my property nigga stay legal

last words..

LIFE IS GOOD..

[Tommy bilfiger]

Lmao Them snippets sound like garbage

2-3 songs sound decent

 

[buttuh_b]

are there any NaS fans that was at the Virgin music store in Union Square Manhattan when NaS was signing CD's and stuff

This was back in 2008 when Untitled dropped. I remember that line was long as shit. I waited 3hours to get my CD signed by NaS. I remember Horse from the Bravehearts was there taking pics with fans.

@tompetrez was at the one when Stillmatic dropped.

I still haven't and won't listen to anything after Daughters until the album drops.

 

[shareef242]

Lmao Them snippets sound like garbage

2-3 songs sound decent

Nah! First Nas album in awhile that appears to have some real replay value. I counted 8 songs just off snippets that sound legit.

 

[georgia boi]

Sounds nice. The Swizz joint even sounds decent.

 

[vageneral08]

snippets???????? oh fuck yeah
