According to the IC the album was wack though and only sold cuz Jay know how to market himiself lmao...some logic I can see if you said it had some below average songs on there like Hate, Song with Drake, But to say the whole ablum wack is not true...
Niggas hate success. They find every reason to hate on a successful black man that's doing shit his way. If Nas was more successful, they'd hate on him too...just look at Jay, T.I., Wayne, Ross & any other brother that's getting it. I can't say I like Wayne's music, but he's doing shit the way he wants to do it. I know I won't like his music so I don't bother to listen to it. These dudes listen to rappers they don't like just to find something to hate about. The shit is pathetic.
Yeah because Nas ain't a millionaire as well?
You know what I mean. Mario Chalmers is a millionaire, but he's not on Lebron's level. Those dudes I mentioned are on another level as far as the success they've attained. Nas has moved more units than Ross & maybe T.I.P., but he can't match their financial status. We both know he's not seeing Jay or Wayne so there's no reason to speak on it. Dude is a good artist...hasn't made anything I really cared to listen to more than once in the past 6 or 7 yrs. I cop his shit, listen to it & keep it moving. I don't see the need to go on boards & post have much I dislike his music or how wack I think this or that track is...takes too much negative energy for that.
Its about the music, the artists you mentioned don't put out music as good as Nas. T.i isn't really hated aswell.
If you put GFID or LIG in front of me & asked me to pick one, I'd go with GFID. It's just how I feel. It's not a knock on Nas. I'm just about the entertainment value nowadays when it comes to music. I watch enough MSNBC, CNN, & read too many books to need to listen to someone preach on their album. When I was younger & was trying to find my way in the world, I appreciated all that he came with & his point of view was refreshing. Now, I'm grown & I see things how I see them & I don't need a rapper to educate me on the way of the world or anything pertaining to that.
Implying Nas preached on LIG.
No, I was just saying how I preferred one album over the other. Nas has put out a lot of music within the past few years that were preachy. If you choose to interpret what I wrote as that way, you can. I'm letting you know that's not what I was saying. Cats on here act like LIG is the album of the year & if that's how they feel, I'm not mad. I'm just letting you know I'd rather listen to GFID.
You took part of what I said & rolled with it.
It seemed to be pretty much your only reason for not liking Nas' new shit, which would be completely off base being that his new shit ain't preachy. But if that's not your reason, cool.
