:D

I nutted a little when I bought my tickets.

Speaking of Nas

The first album I got by him was Illmatic and it's without a doubt my favorite. I got Stillmatic after that and it was ok, but like Jono said the production isn't as good as Illmatic. I got I Am... a few weeks ago and I'm still getting into it, are there any other albums by him worth getting?

I'd say no, but honestly I'm not even sold on Illmatic so take what I think with a grain of salt.

God's Son is good, too.

I don't trust anyone that isn't immediately sold on Illmatic.

Illmatic is the only Nas album that I really like.

Any fans of the Sound Providers here?

Illmatic is great, but aside from a few songs on other albums, Nas hasn't got much.

Stillmatic is pretty good though. One Mic and Ether are really good actually

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids;16454759]new Nas leaked, not very good so far.[/QUOTE]

I will not pursue it then.

I've been listening to Int'l Players Anthem a lot, unfortunately I accidentally downloaded the clean version. I'm gonna get the whole UGK album eventually, but for now could anyone find me a link to the explicit version of that song?

[I]It Was Written[/I] is his second best get that, it's very underrated. Along with [I]Illmatic[/I] and [I]Stillmatic[/I] it's the only other Nas album you need.

It's saddening how inconsistent Nas is.

he needs some good beats, untitled has zero of them.

Lol that's gold. I love the beginning when he's in the car & pulls up to all the kids. Looks like a right pedo.

My verse is second.

I saw Lil Wayne on Thursday. Really awesome, even better than when I saw him a couple years ago.

What's the best of Doom's Special Herbs albums to get, if any?

Cool Dip.

Anyone here like Talib Kweli?

he used to rap with Pharoahe Monch back in the day didn't he?

You're mixing him up with Prince Po'. Talib used to rap with Mos Def.

ahh ok thanks. i just dabble in hip-hop so yeah

the ugly truth is so good

new GZA track [url]http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=23162[/url]

that was good, I thought the production was a bit too repetitive though. i expect the new album to be great

the beat is kind of boring

it would've been cool he developed the beat a little more instead of just having that same one

it's a good song though

[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6oMAHl9PNU[/url]

dunno how late i am, but this is going to get really, really hyped

Like everyone else said, the beat to that GZA track is a bit ****. Rap's good though.

So after being disappointed in Nas's latest, I went back through his catalogue.

I forgot how good God's Son was.

I'm into a lot of solo albums from great hip hop producers right now, like J Dilla and Madlib. Soon I'm gonna try to get Beat Konducta Vol 1-2, the Jackson Conti album, Oh No - Dr. No's Oxperiment, and maybe Flying Lotus - L.A. Any other good producers I should check out?
