That’s a 90s beat.

Skiza Illmatic the album

FOLLOWING

Nas ana release mzigo jana tumejazana waiting list…

Godbless these niggas Nas and Rocky…its a masterpeace!

Nas is the best

After Illmatic na It Was Written Nas ali isha ladha.
I am was a good attempt…Nas Is Like, NY part 2, Small World & We Will Survive were the standout tracks…rest sounded like filler.
Hii ngoma OP amepost im assuming iko kwa Kings Disease 2 ama Magic.
Wacha ni download nijaribu kuziskiza…but Nas alihema kitaaambooo.

You call this a masterpiece?

Nas is known to have been lazy at the studio. Typically artists will write a song, then go back and rework/reword it in studio. Until it sounds right. It’s can take 5 minutes to several hours or days. Check Kanye’s documentary you can get a glimpse. Someone like Eminem makes a song on cd, then goes to test it in his factory car speakers which have no correction. If it doesn’t sound right there, he remakes the song. But several producers who worked with Nas says he was a one shot does it all. First take, that was it. The guys were shocked. He is a industry under achiever.

Naelewa sana

Lakini Nas ni top 3 easy kwenye anybody’s list…Siwezi sema ni under achiever kabisa…

In the industry mostly anashindanishwa na Jay-Z,thats no joke mzee!

With KD2 na Magic tayari album counts kamzidi Jay-Z tayari…and still,kuna some rumors ana realease some more crazy albums as we speak.

Plus,Illmatic is always number one album in HipoHop history ever…yaani ever!That record can never be broken!

Mkuu

Ni masterpeace compared na na releases currently wether kwa wasanii wapya au wa zamani

Kwa Nas’s generation pulling these kind of listeniship in 2022 is no joke

I wish before I die nishuhudie a full collab album ya Jay-Z v/s Nas!

I have a hunch it will happen

Ala…sikujua haya…will check it out…but being a first take guy doesnt render him lame…lots of artistes have one take moments and some of their one take works have gone on to be revered hits…a thing i heard from a Premo podcast or something is that when he was starting out nas had confidence issues…ilibidi askumwe ndio a put ou Illmatic if im not wrong.
Wouldnt call him lazy…going by the size of his catalog…compare him to a guy like Mos Def…although i hear his creative process is unique.
Anyway nas could be lazy…jay said it somewhere in some album.
Wacha ni sample hizo 2 albums nione…but nas…damn.

Nas ataharibia jay z album.
Nas is weak.
Usiangalie size ya listenership…angalia quality ya listeners.
Alot of crap is generating mob streams and listenership at the cost of real stuff.

HitBoy has really carried Nas. Modernized his sound for the new generation while Nas riding on his older wave.

What specific record are you talking about bro? Art is subject whatever is appealing to you is not necessarily appealing to others. Wengine wetu ukituuliza albums za heshima tutasema tu the Carter Series, of course old Kanye an kina fiddy. It basically depends on which generation you come from because a couple of years down the line Drake and Kendrick shall be spoken of in the same breath.

Whatever nowadays appeals to mainstream is definitely some retarded crap. Mainstream has been so dumbed down chenye inawafurahisha ni crap. Si ata Jay Z alisema he had to dumben his content to widen his audience.

Nas never weak bro…

Nas is a good rapper…Jay’s level sio mchezo…

Wewe unadhani waki-rap bar for bar yeye Jay unadhani Nas ata chicken out?

Nigga is nice na longevity yake ni unparalleled

Ndio catalogue yake ni just below Jay’s quality ila he’s not a pushover mzee

Naelewa hizi kitu ni very subjective

Ila kwa official Best Hiphop albums ever made number 1 ni Illmatic…

This has been done by Source,XXL,etc majarida makubwa ya Hiphop…yes ni waandishi wa habari tu hawana lolote,ila ni industry stakeholders,their say has a meaning…List zipo na zote zinapishana kidogo ila number 1 album in all their lists Illmatic sits comfortably

That makes total sense bro.

Shida ya Nas ni ati album yake ya kwanza ilikua wazimu excess. Expectations after Illmatic was crazy. What other artists may take years to produce yeye alimanage na first try. Mkisema ameunderachieve have that in mind.
