will Jay-Z drop 1 more classic in 2013 and prove he's the King of NY or.........

[TrueGodHS]

I fucks with both artists, but Nas's catalog is just overall better and has more substance overall.

However, Jay's catalog is more accessible and sells better. I think that's a fair trade and why the Nas/Jay dichotomy is still relevant after all these years.

I thought Kingdom Come could've been better though... but I think it's overall better than BP3.. I thought BP3 was pretty peculiar for a 41 year old man to make, but Kingdom Come and American Gangster werent bad albums, people just needed a reason to hate on Jay at the time.... and even with Nas as my favorite rapper, I can say that HHID was overrated by a lot of folks too.

I think Jay's next album HAS to be something more personal and internal. I just dont get a 43-44 year old dude still talking some of the shit he does this far in life. But we'll see

Blueprint 3 has some nice songs on it I mean how can you hate this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UjsXo9l6I8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

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.

That's your opinion...I like all those artists besides Wayne better than Nas right now. There was a time when I appreciated everything Nas put out. At this point & time in my life, I'm not a big fan of his music. I appreciate what he does, but I don't listen to his latest efforts too often. He'll always be no lower than 2 on my GOAT list, but I base that off of his first 2 albums. 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. I don't knock him because there are still plenty of people who are blind, deaf & dumb to the facts, but I'm not one of them...so if I want to listen to Hold Me Back over World's An Addiction, I will do just that

How many songs did Nas preach on Life Is Good?

Too many for me to listen to...if you like Nas, I'm not mad at you. I understand. He's a very talented brother. I just don't want to keep his latest shit on repeat. I still listen to Illmatic & IWW on a weekly basis. The rest of his stuff isn't what I choose to listen to. It's my preference. I'm not knocking you for liking Nas or preferring him over anyone. I'm just saying you can't expect everyone to do the same like I don't expect everyone to like what I like. If we don't agree with what's better, I can respectfully disagree with you. I'm not going to knock you for what you prefer.

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

Name one preaching song on life is good faggot.

 

[coolc31]

Name one preaching song on life is good faggot.

I hope you aren't addressing me as a faggot because I'm a successful black man with a wonderful family that includes a wife and children. If you're so stuck on what I say about Nas, maybe you're the faggot dickriding a rapper that doesn't give a fuck about you...clown ass nigga.

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

There was empires in Africa called Kush/Timbuktu where every race came to get books

To learn from black teachers who taught Greeks and Romans/Asian Arabs and gave them gold when

Gold was converted to money it all changed/Money then became empowerment for Europeans

The Persian military invaded

I aint ridin down da blocc bumpin this bullshit nasir aint no teacha, nigga took 3 months to get jigga's foot out his ass

"Just cuz you don't understand him It don't mean that he nice/It just means you don't understand all the bullshit that he writes"

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

Stop catching feelings and support your previous claim you dumb nigger.

 

[coolc31]

Stop catching feelings and support your previous claim you dumb nigger.

I already addressed this, clown. Again, if you choose to listen to Nas, do your thing. I'm not mad at you. Just know everyone doesn't love what he puts out & respect other people's opinion, young boy.

 

[genocidecutter]

Jay-Z will never make another classic album again

Word? You know for a fucking fact he didn't preach on not one song on the album. I didn't ask for the rest of the shit you sitting here telling me. I asked a simple question and you either didn't listen to the album or you're lying. I don't care if you like Nas or not. I don't care what you prefer. But don't sit here and lie like Nas was preaching on his newest shit. On his last two solos and DR was he preaching? Yes. On Life Is Good? Not at all.

You implied there were numerous preaching songs from Nas on Life is good yet you can't name one.

When stanning for jayz goes wrong.

 

[Mr.LV]

But jay-z will always make an entertaining album that's for sure, not some sleep inducing boring shit.

 

[buttuh_b]

Yea, don't make a whole post dedicated to how you don't listen to Nas because you watch CNN and don't need to hear him preach when he didn't preach at all on his new album. If you just not fucking with the music say that.

First of all, this discussion isn't limited to LIG. I stated I haven't had a desire to listen to Nas on a regular for the last 6 or 7 yrs. LIG was ok...World's An Addiction is a form of preaching to me. He isn't Chuck D with it, but he gives his opinion on shit. I don't want to hear that right now. You like Nas, great. Keep listening to him. I'll keep supporting the brother & buying his music because I'm a fan, but it doesn't mean I want to keep him on repeat.

Yo, did this nigga really say world's an addiction is a preaching song? I'm done

How the hell is "World's An Addiction" preaching? If that shit is preaching than the whole Illmatic is preaching. That's observation and story telling.

Are there any other tracks on the 19 song album that he preached on?

I'm not stanning for anyone. I started by saying I haven't had a desire to listen to Nas on the regular for the past 6 or 7 yrs. Someone else took that to mean I was talking about him preach on LIG. I overlooked his post just like he overlooked the full extent of what I was saying so if you feel that means I'm stanning for someone you can ride with it. I'm good.

 

[coolc31]

Yo, did this nigga really say world's an addiction is a preaching song? I'm done

Yo damn right I did. Again, it's not a Chuck D or Krs-One preaching song, but it addresses the black community & the problems within & how the powers that be deal with us, clown.

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.
