Jeezy ? on the radio says otherwise -
The only Nas album that doesn't have at least one great song. This album is the definition of mediocre.

Might get around to listening to this album one of these days.

Nas has so many great albums it's crazy.

Still got the CD I copped the first day.....this album had mad sensitive rappers in a tizzy.....looking at that punk Jeezy

Listened to this heavily when it came out. Blunt Ashes stays in the rotation.
And Nas had a dope song with Game that had come out month earlier that it seemed like Nas was pushing for a comeback.

you must not have been listening then, southern artists did the marketing for Nas with how much they talked about it in interviews -

The only southern rappers that felt a way were Wayne tip n jeezy, maybe a few others I can't recall. Tbh there were rappers proudly claiming they weren't that hip hop ? whatever that means..
Nas wasn't even the 1st to say it. Gfk said it in an interview around the time SC or PT dropped. 3stax said it on a song on the outkast gh album..

If you don't like mumble rap, drill, or pop turn off the radios and look for your music online or there an app. Tired of you phony philosophical ? complaining about music like its limited to one genre. ? want to change the world through the ego instead of doing the Great Work....smh
The fact that if you don't want to listen to short bus rappers on the radio and have to go online to hear rappers that atleast sounds like they have half a brain cell, just proved one of nas points.
I cosigned you.
However, back in the 80s daytime/top 40 radio didn't play real Hip Hop. They played commercial rap like It Takes Two by Rob Base, Push It by Salt N Pepa, Walk This Way by Run DMC, I Need Love by LL Cool J and U Can't Touch This by MC Hammer.
In Boston if you wanted to hear "real Hip Hop" (Eric B and Rakim, Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions, Kool G Rap and DJ Polo, NWA, Schooly D, Just Ice, Dougie Fresh, Stetsasonic, etc. ) you had to stay up on the weekends and listen to the college radio shows. There's a lot of colleges in Boston so there was usually a rap show on Friday night and another rap show on Saturday night. The thing is the college stations changed their schedule every semester so you had to keep up with what station was doing what (which wasn't that difficult, all you had to do is call the station and ask what time is their rap show).
No one gives a ? what you fools did in Irish land 20 years ago
