    Who? I see 3 posters dropped the N-word on this page. 2 have been posting for a while (cole and jd) the other one (YoungChamp) only said it when referring to the song title.

    This is a wonderful discussion for Hip-Hop, People have different views which makes the conversations interesting. Cats who get in their feeling are hilarious. As Long as u appreciate Good HipHop your opinion is needed.

    tired.. tired of what bruh? theres only like 5 posters who said the album wasn't up to par as oppose to 20 or so who's ? with it ..... what kind of adult approach is it to say "hey since you dont agree with me you need to get the ? outta here"........? what kind of diverse conversation does that spark? ...thats what hiphop is now? if you dont like what i like you're a ______________________ <-- insert negative adjective here .... oh word? the thread is a discussion thread not a appreciation thread ...ya'll ? need to chill with all the over emotions ....

    I still havent heard the album..
    tuesday right around the corner..

    and judging by the good/bad reviews
    I know this album is atleast top 5 in Nas's catalogue..

    people descibe the album as being soulful..
    laid back is Nas at his best..

    Nasty was ill..
    Nas spit rapid flow bar for bar with out a hook..

    Daughters was necessary..
    He had to address Destiny getting out of control..
    anybody with a daughter should be able to relate..

    Don is a banger..
    Im from PA.
    but I live in Charlotte NC.
    the club go crazy when Don come on..
    I was admittedly surprised about this..

    Accident murderers is also necessary..
    with all the ? going on in the streets,
    alot of innocent people getting killed,
    especially in the Chi..
    Dont get it ? up,
    I ? with Rozays music,
    but his verse on this song is unnecessary..
    Nas shouldv got Common or AZ on this song..

    these are the only songs I heard so far and all 4 sound good..

    at least your not a troll

    ? can go thru my post history and see i aint never trolled ? ... maybe some jokes ..but trolling is silly imo ...now ....i will say that cats can have over emotional/irrational ass opinions on either side of a debate ... however the amount of people supporting either side is typically going to skew the perception on who's really the troll....

    I will say this tho ...this track is my ? .... that rhythm section on this track is what i felt was missing from too many of the other records on the lp .... that infectious bass line ... matched with that classic boom bap drum loop .... hypnotic ? .... thats that vintage nasty nas ... i mean ? there's like 4-5 tracks i want to say that dont even have a bass section?!?!.... and i dont mean an 808 ...im talking about an actual rhythm bass electric bass anything ....that to me just left a lot of these tracks too light for my taste ...too hollow ... like reach out ..that sample has been used a ton of times..? even mary herself has a better version ... ? could have flipped that sample better to make it less stale and repetitive .....? ... add some depth ...different slices on the sample ..? like that is where the record fails ...

    On "Back When", the drums sound like the ones from "The Genesis" off Illmatic. It makes sense considering the title and subject matter of "Back When".

    yeah the rhythm section on that track is fire .... that drawn out bass line matched with them drums = instant head nod music ...... but tracks like queens story...reach out... worlds an addiction... you wouldn't understand ..cherry wine ... could have really benefited from some drum pattern or bass line modifications ... it would have added some more moderen flavor to the tracks ...and they could have still kept their vintage sensibilities ...

    The more I hear Accident Murderers I love this joint. I didnt like it at first but Nas's whole flow on that first verse is godly. Loco-Motive remains my favorite cut.
