The only Nas album I really enjoyed was Illmatic and that is one of the best hip hop albums ever in my opinion.

i think nas has made countless "enjoyable" songs since illmatic-"doo rags","one mic","if i ruled the world","you're the man","second childhood"and numerous other premeir produced joints throughout the years are just a few of them..i've just always been let down by the overall beat choices he's made over the years.sallam remi is his people,but just not that dope at all,and he always handles the bulk of the production.i've never understood why with all the money he has he's yet to make another album with a group of super producers..he should be like,let me get preem,pete rock,hi tek,9th wonder,large pro,etc...all on one album. maybe someday

I agree with adru man, he needs a dream team but im hoping that hes thinking about cooking up something like illmatic in his final album or some shit like that

i'm really enjoying the new Nas album. Nas is one of my favourite emcees so maybe i'm biased, but I really think he brought it with this new album. I wasn't really feeling HHID, and Street's Disciple should've been one disc instead of two....

this new one reminds me of Ice Cube's Death Certificate...similar feel, espeically with the brief songs themed on different issues

Sly Fox is great
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yydpWtjqa8

"The sly fox
Cyclops
We locked
In the idiot box
The video slots
Broadcast the Waco Davidian plots
They own YouTube, Myspace
When this ignorant shit gon' stop?
They monopolizing news
Your views
And the channel you choose
Propaganda
Visual cancer
The eye
In the sky
Number five
On the dial
secret agenda
Frequency antenna
Doctor mind bender
Remote control
soul controller
Your brain holder
Slave culture
Game's over
What's a Fox characteristic?
Slick shit
Sensin'
Misinformation
Pimp the station
Over stimulation
Reception
Deception
Comcast digital Satan
The Fox has a bushy tail
And Bush tells
Lies and Foxtrots
So I don't know what's real "

Yo Sly Fox is really dope!

Fight the power !!!

definitely Wax *raises fist*

although the chorus to Hero is a little cheesy with the female vocal, you gotta love Nas' flow on that beat. the third verse is great:

"Forgetting - Nas the only true rebel since the beginning
Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow
Try telling Bob Dylan, Bruce, or Billy Joel
They can't sing what's in their soul...
So 'Untitled' it is
I never change nothin'
But people remember this
If Nas can't say it, think about these talented kids
With new ideas being told what they can and can't spit"

I havnt really checked nas in a long time. That sly fox joint was good, I just wish his beats didnt sound so cheap.

well i sort of like it....
i just picked it up but i dont know all of his songs sound liek somehting is missing and lyrics are alright i would give it about 5 out of 10 stars

I've only heard the leaked tracks so far (definitely coppin it tho!)... but I really like em. and I would tend to say that I dig the fuck out of nas' beat selection. if he was on all the top producers beats his shit would sound like an album of singles... like some Jay-Z shit. nas has always been on some lyrical shit first... beats second.

ride on homie!

Word most of them hooks on the lp are way to r&b for me...
now that I listened to the whole lp I've to say that sly fox is proberbly the best track on it... Seems like I'm a bit outgrown of that rap thing.
Shit is boring... :lol:

I want some of that "eat the rich" shit...

Illmatic for me, isht was so raw, lyrics & beatz....

just my 2...

ghost bazz · Post by **ghost bazz** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 7:36 pm

favorite N-A-S track of all time... "Come take a ride..." and that beat is some raw-as-hell old-school production... but that's the shit he totally rips in my opinion.

and word adru... although I disagree on the production point, I agree that there have been a whole slew of classics after illmatic - which was undoubtedly a major landmark in hip hop. i thought the Lost Tapes uncovered some really sick shit, among others.
