premo

your right

but i dont believe in those drum kits online

i just cant bring myself to ever purchase one

what did u think of his beats tho?

I'm not sure..........can't really think of anything that he's produced.I'm not that big of a fan since his second album.Everything after that didn't seem "Nas Worthy"

But as far as buying kits offline i did it when i first got started but learned quickly that was a waste of money.

That could be... not to mention when you make a classic album on your first attempt...it is hard to match it ever again.

I don't know, I think if the beats are Premier, then the rhymes can be as wack as they want...If people liked Group Home, Jeru, Smiley, Guru, and any of the other low calibur m.c.'s, then Nas could get by with his worst rhymes...and it would still be better...

another thought crossed my mind is that it would be tight if premo and pete rock did it,hopefully nas will have some guest on it.this is a good moment for him and jigger to rep.

the damaja is nice, stop smoking ganja

Funny thing is, I read interviews fro LES and other producers that say he's picky when it comes to beats, he plays 30 or 40 before he picks one...

jeru is just aight if you ask me. He has a few classics, but overall his albums are aight. Wouldnt put him up there in my top ten but he got some decent joints. I just get real bored with his albums and his last two were kinda doo doo.

can't wait for this...finally something worth buying...

Nah. Nas' last joint just went platinum. Matter of fact, every record he ever made has gone platinum. People are still checking for him.

Nas lost me when he made "Hate Me Now" with Puffy, and was in that video with a furry hat and coat on.

To quote a Seinfeld line: "What kind of man wears fur?"

What makes you say that? It usually takes him 2 years to put something out.

stryke wrote:I think he doesn't really think about each song the way he should and just take his time with it.

Most of his songs sound like they required some thought... more so than most other hip hop I hear.

stryke wrote:I mean come on,be real,what was his last good album?Premo can only do so much,the rest is on Nas.

The only bad album I remember was Nastradamus, and the bootleg of that was hot. Obviously you haven't been liking his stuff, but that doesn't make the music bad. Every album he's dropped went platimum, and that's with little to no help from radio, tv or label. He's doing something right.

stryke wrote:So to all you dikriders who get excited over hearing someones' name,don't bust that nut yet.Wait til you hear the album first.

When 2 of the top people at what they do come together, it's only natural to think something good will come out of it, especially when they've created greatness in the past.

but hiphop was so wack at that point in time

i think that was just the puff daddy era

nas (hate me now) was the equivilant to jay-z in (sunshine)

and everybody loves JAY

True. But Jay-Z (to me) was always corny (in a cool-to-be-corny kinda way), while Nas came off like one of my homies.

Now if one of my homies had on a fur coat and hat, I might not be able to roll with dude anymore.

Nas lyrical structure and rhyme flow were always on point, but it seemed like he tried to dumb down his content to sell a little more (like Jay-Z and Puffy).
