who the ? is talking about mmg? lol .... ya'll ? need to chill out with them straw-men arguments..... whats "trapped in the 90's" about summer on smash? thats for the reallllllllllll music lovers righ? ....c'mon son son...stop it
That's the only song you gonna go in on? One as song doesn't take away from my statement. I mentioned MMG because that's the type of beats everybody rhyming on these days.
i dont need to bring up any other songs ...you tried to play like this ? ... is a magnum opus of musical experience ...and that only those with a keen ear tuned to the sounds of vintage 90's music could appreciate ..yet this album has some wack ass ? like that on it?? ...nah ...your facts are backwards .... it dont take no aficionado to see this joint is ...mehhh ...so-so .... and again ...who cares about a mmg? ...oh maybe nas ..seeing as how he got ross on the damn album and all...
I didn't play like anything bro. i meant what i said. And you adding too many extra statements to what i said. Nobody claimed magnus opus but it is a dope album. But you been on here acting like nobody supposed to like the album. You sound like a anti-stand. I stated my opinion. You the ones unimpressed with the beats and obviously don't like the classic sound so i threw out an example of what yall wanna hear.. You mad?
you threw out a wack ass generalization .... very stan like .... you then tried to elevate your musical taste above anyone who'd dare disagree ...again highly stannish ....that type of ? .... its funny to me ... i said i hope this record grows on me ... why would i act like nobody is supposed to like it? ... i just commented on a couple posters who as always go overboard with terrible comparisons ... and overstatements ..... such as yourself ..... no need to be mad ..this is good hiphop conversation
So we not supposed to make comparisons now? ? in here comparing WTT. And so what if what i said was general. If it fits, wear it. You sound like you don't like people going in on MMG. Where did i say people shouldn't have a differing opinions? People made statements about not wanting to hear soft, old school music and hated on the album so i shouted them out. So what if I called MMG music generic. If all the songs are basic and expected and has a sound that everyone is using to death, then i label it generic. Mentioning genres has nothing to do with elevating my opinion above others, other then to mention what Nas crafted here and why i find it dope. You sound very anti-stan trying extra hard to hate on this album beyond your own opinion to the point of trying to invalidate the opinion of others.

Nas brought Steve Nash out at Rock The Bells in NY last year.
Nash also got a lap dance from Nicki Minaj on stage when Young Money came on tour to Phoenix. Even though Jason Richardson ? his wife like how Jay ? Carmen, Nash won in the end because he's a Laker now and his new girl is a dime just like Nas pulling Zoe Saldana.
LIFE IS GOOD!! -
Nas got some birthday ? from Zoe for his 38th.
His 40th birthday is gon be epic. All the e-Bravehearts gotta come. Nas dropping another classic album September 14th, 2013! -
Lol this is the most overhyped album in years. It's a 3.5/5 at best. It's a great hiphop album in 2012, but it's nowhere near classic. All the Nas stans are quick to scream "Classic" but in reality, it's not.
There's really not ONE good hook by Nas on the entire album, and I DARE anyone to challenge this. The only decent one is on Daughters. Rick Ross has an ok verse but sounds way out of place on the album. The Mary J track is ok, but like it's been stated, 1000 other people have rapped over this beat before.
Another thing I don't like is Nas' whole fake image
There's alot of good tracks but there's also alot of filler. The bonus tracks are good but only upon the first 4-5 listens, then they have zero replay value.
Also, Nas' flow is the SAME on freaking every song just about. It's like Jadakiss 2.0, but imo Jadakiss makes things more entertaining.
In the end, it's not better then Recovery, Watch the Throne, or any top album by a top 5 GOAT released in the past few years. It IS however, Nas' best album since ? 's Son.
lol
try again -

definitely disagree with this. To me the production is fire and the beats compliment each other and work well together. -
2nd listen... this is a great album.

This album will separate the true music listeners from casual rap fans. I can already tell.

If people are complaining about how it's too musical that shows you how versatile their taste is. -

"musical" does not = quality ........understand that bruh .... a ? can have a thousand piece orchestra on a track ... that in itself doesn't mean its going to be a good record...

Good Objective post
These nasir groupies of course will act like this is the greatest thing ever thats what dickriders do
your analysis is accurate and the same thing I saidLol this is the most overhyped album in years. It's a 3.5/5 at best. It's a great hiphop album in 2012, but it's nowhere near classic. All the Nas stans are quick to scream "Classic" but in reality, it's not.
There's alot of good tracks but there's also alot of filler. The bonus tracks are good but only upon the first 4-5 listens, then they have zero replay value.
In the end, it's not better then Watch the Throne
Another good objective post

i mean it is what it is ...i cant sit here and front ....
you didnt feel "back when" ...that ? was nice .... he spazzed on that second verse ...
"To call them fake today is hate, real ? extinct
Pac left me inside a rap world with ? that's weak
And other rappers, undercover ? spit every way
Won't be surprised if all their rides have federal plates
Let alone their wardrobes are Studio 4 flow
It was real when I appeared, it would've been some jaws broke
Nas, my real name, stage name, same thing
How could you let these lames claim king? I'm so ashamed, man
I light a L for Vernon, for ? who would burn in Hell
For Vernon; 10th Street, 12th Street, Nightmare on Elm Street
Pimps creep, delve deep inside the editorials
Of the ghetto queens, kings, stories true
Who possesses the testicular fortitude
To blow away myths that's a hindrance to all of you?
You blame your own shortcomings on section, race
The mafia, homosexuals and all the Jews
It's hogwash point of views, stereotypical
Anti-Semitic like the foul words Gibson spewed
And it's pathetic, I don't get the credit I deserve
That's why I hate doing interviews
But I don't sweat it, study long, study raw
My man Deon said "Nas over-think the songs he writing"
I'm not a wack performer standing behind a corny hype man
I got the Donism in me, I'm here to enlighten"
-
"I'm the animal that Hugh Heffner created
The only ? Sade dated, the most hated, Nas ? " -
"Maserati, pumpin' Biggie, the great legend blastin'
I'm after the actress who played Faith Evans"

This thread is troll proof. You better off with your Kobe trollin.

I wish I was Kelis before the divorce right now I wish I was Jungle

Whos heard trust?

after listenin a few times today ? is definately dope. right there wit gods son. for some reason im jus not feelin locomotive though. i see what nas is tryin to do wit that record but the beat is too simplistic and does measure up with the instrumentation of the rest of the album. the lyrics on it is on point though along with the rest of the album. summer on smash is cool but when u bump that ? in the whip wit a nice system it makes the song better. it is what it is a feel good summer record. im lovin the album though will def be bumpin this for awhile. wtt was cool btw but aside from new day and the joy it was a bunch of self indulgent rhymes on euro rap beats. and that comin from a long time fan of jay. first listen on wtt i was dissapointed. first listen on this kept runnin it back.

? with this ? . Recovery better than a Nas album? psh, no way in hell. jadakiss 2.0? and he makes things more entertaining? no way in hell that's true.
the only thing I can agree on is people being too quick to claim this is classic.
Funny how several of you claim WTT is better than this, yet when WTT dropped you were all crying about how wack that was.
word i remember that thread
Yeah, funny how it went from "wtf is this techno ? " and "? euro jay and kanye. this sounds like ? david guetta!" to "WTT is better than Nas' albums"deathrowzorrow wrote: »Destiny blocked me on twitter !!!
lmao what were you sayin to her? -
"I'm the animal that Hugh Heffner created

This ? really true? It's my dream for Sade to sing to me homie, lol.
