Pointing out that this other dude also said some stomach-turning schitt isn't really an effective defense of your man.

Shit I don't know what's happened here but I really don't hate on this album. Maybe it's because my expectations and fears about how low Nas could stoop weren't entirely realised but I actually prefer it to Jay Z's release.
Admittedly I listened to Cagney once before removing it from my copy of the album and my short term memory but I really don't mind the rest. He's still a highly charismatic mc to listen to and the beats, while far from breathtaking, do their job for the most part (going into a Nas album expecting great beats is always going to end in tears IMHO).
Like i say, I can't believe that my ears are hearing something different to everyone else and maybe it's just that, apart from Illmatic, I don't listen to Nas much anymore but for me it's a reasonable album from a rapper past his prime and that's fine by me.
I actually really enjoy the jay and nas collabo on here. Im glad its an l.e.s. beat and not some just blaze over the top garbage hes being putting out lately. It feels like a hot nas song with a jay verse this way.
I also like where are they now. And......really thats about it. The rest of the album is pretty shitty.
BUt those two songs are hot to me. Also there was a mixtape track called "the don" that was super hot but it was only a snippet. Anyone remember this? It was crazy and had me way more hyped for this album than i should have been.

I'm sorry to say this and I'll probably get drawn and quartered for it:
Illmatic was dope, I acknowledge that, but, to me, it wasn't the seminal (ahem) masterwork of hip-hop defining wonder that it seems to have been made into. Don't get me wrong; it was an extremely dope album.
The problem is, I at least, am like a dude that breaks up with his girl and then, all of a sudden, the relationship was perfect and she can do no wrong and shit. So when I hear "new Alkaholiks track coming out" I get all excited thinking it's going to be all 21 and Over and Coast II Coast up in this bitch and then I remember that I also bought Tash's solo album, and it's probably going to be more like that shit. So then I go back and listen to Illmatic, or Coast II Coast, and they're dope, but they're not the holy grail of hip hop achievement. Nor do they get any play any more (sadly).
As for Nas, jesus, sometimes you just gotta put the mic down and walk the fuck away. I mean, I stopped hoping for dope tracks after any MC/crew's third album long ago, but now it's just getting depressing. Those lyrics are so deranged that it isn't quite as funny as it is creepy.
As for the indispensable tracks following Illmatic (e.g. Nas is Like) they really grate on me; they're all way (even wrt the genre) overblown ego trips that are catchy for a week and then have no draw at all. When was the last time any of us actually listened to all of these tracks? That's all I'm saying.
ive tried at least five times on separate ocassions to listen to "who killed it" and usually get hyped up from the intro part of the beat and then have to turn it off five seconds later because it is truly that bad

But you're friends with Rape Donkeys
Thankfully, young S**o* has been so far able to avoid the traps that befell your friend Nas, and hasn't made a song about raping donkeys.

He hasn't played you the acetate?
No he hasn't "played me the acetate", or whatever you two's new codeword for hanky panky is.
co-sign. these are the onyl post-Illmatic essentials to me.
I believe this could be applied to practically ALL of Nas' albums save one.
Not quite - he's still trying to thug it out on a few songs, most if it being pretty cheesy.
Like Jeezy asked, "Does Nas have any street cred? Are his homies in F.E.D.S."?
I think not.
Admittedly I listened to Cagney once before removing it from my copy of the album and my short term memory but I really don't mind the rest.

I expect that I am wrong.
maybe nas wasn't trying to rep real schitt but to rep the schitt he enjoyed.
Not to mention, he's been trying to "save" rap for at least five years now--it's not like any of this represents a new element of his persona.
This thread wouldn't be complete without an appearance from the real schitt thought police.
"Real Schitt" is not subject to relativism.
