Bout time. Somebody should have done this a long time ago.
Nas is my dude, but the nigga has HORRIBLE taste in insturmentals. Just send somebody an Acapella and let them built a beat around it.
Shit sounds ill by the way.
February 24th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
BEAT IS OK,3.5/5
February 24th, 2008 at 2:31 pm

February 24th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
DIS IS NOT ART.AN ARTIST REALLY SHUD HEAR DA BEAT AND FEED OFF HIS EMOTIONS THEN WRITE TO IT. LACING A BEAT TO AN ACCAPELLA IS MORE LIKE DOIN A REMIX OR DROP FOR A MIXTAPE…DIS PRODUCER IS HOT THOUGH,HOWEVER NAS NEEDS TO GET IN THE STUDIO WID HIM AND BUILD, FEEL OUT THE IDEAS THE CONCEPTS…
February 24th, 2008 at 3:31 pm

February 25th, 2008 at 11:53 am
Don’t know how the fuck this turn into a Nas vs Jay debate but since people are putting their two senses in, I will too. Jay isn’t fucking with Nas lyrically but Jay might have a better flow.
