itz no Illmatic, but . . . .

NAS is on point right now. Hip Hop has changed a lot and he has adapted (ie. his beats are a bit more "slick"), but his lyrics are the s**t!!!!!!!!!!

Re: itz no Illmatic, but . . . .

Please tell me he's not still using swizzbeats.

Re: itz no Illmatic, but . . . .

yeah I wanna hear the rest of the album...someone mixed mobb deep -shook ones with the made you look instrumental at hip hop stole xmas...who did beat production xyz?

Re: itz no Illmatic, but . . . .

I dunno (i got a burned copy), ha ha ha. The production is "slick" hip hop, but his lyrics are good, IMO. I know it ain't Swizz Beatz.

Re: itz no Illmatic, but . . . .

nas is the epitomy of a sellout. illmatic was cool for a second, but even that is not that great.

Re: itz no Illmatic, but . . . .

I've never liked NAS

Re: itz no Illmatic, but . . . .

Damn, to me he's the best lyricist to hit commercial hiphop since Rakim. But we're all going to have different opinions on that. lol

Re: itz no Illmatic, but . . . .

i got a lecture from my brother yesterday about how i've never liked Nas.. i dunno... i can appreciate his flow and lyrics and s**t but its just not my steez.

this song (lyrically killz it) . . .

Artist: Nas
Album: Stillmatic
Song: Rewind
Typed by: Khadafi662@aol.com

Listen up gangstas and honeys with ya hair done
Pull up a chair hon' and put it in the air son
Dog, whatever they call you, god, just listen
I spit a story backwards, it starts at the ending

The bullet goes back in the gun
The bullet hole's closin this chest of a nigga
Now he back to square one
Screamin, "Shoot don't please"
I put my fifth back on my hip
It's like a VCR rewindin a hit
He put his hands back on his bitch
My caravan doors open up
I jumped back in the van and closed it shut
Goin reverse, slowly prepared
My nigga Jungle utters out somethin crazy like, "Go he there"
Sittin in back of this chair, we hittin the roach
The smoke goes back in the blunt, the blunt gets bigger in growth
Jungle unrolls it, put his weed back in the jar
The blunt turns back into a cigar
We listen to Stevie, it sounded like heavy metal fans
Spinnin records backwards of AC/DC
I give my niggas dap, jump out the van back first
Back upstairs, took off the black shirt
I'm in the crib with the phone to my ear
Listen up so y'all can figure out the poem real clear
The voice on the phone was like, "Outside right we"
So with my mouth wide, holdin my heat
Bullets I had plenty to squeeze, plenty for ya
'Cause Jungle said, "Block your on enemies the"
Hung up the phone, then the phone rang
I'm laid in the bed thinkin 'bout this pretty young thing
Who left, she came back, her clothes just fell to the rug
She fell to my bed and gave me a hug
I told her, "No hell"
She talkin 'bout, "Me kiss"
Bobbed her head then spit the nut back in my dick
Started suckin with no hands, a whole lotta spit
Then got up and put her bra back on her tits
Got fully dressed and told me, "Stressed really I'm"
Picked up her Gucci bag and left her nigga behind
Walkin through the door, she rang the bell twice
I vomited Vodka back in my glass with juice and ice
The clock went back from three, to two, to one
And that's about the time the story begun
That's when I first heard the voicemail on the cell
It said, "Son we found that nigga we gotta kill"

Ay yo son, ay yo son, you hear me, you hear me?
Listen man, this dude right on the block, right now, man
I found him, right now, I see him right now!
Let's kill him)

"Yo, this Nas, leave it. Peace"

Re: Nas

Re: Nas

i guess all rap veterans deserve mo' respect..
most just won't ever get it..
NAs being one of those.i.m.o

Re: itz no Illmatic, but . . . .

Made You Look beat is dope

Re: itz no Illmatic, but . . . .

you know, I think NAS deserves alot more credit. He's smart and his lyrics are on point. But he's just so damn conceited sometimes. I heard him on power with big boy and he was saying he "carried the cross" for rappers, and now rappers got it so much easier because of him. He keeps comparing himself with Christ, and it BUGS the s**t out of me cause I think he's so good, he just needs to shut up about himself. saking for a little modesty may be much, but enough with the self ritousness... shiiit

Re: itz no Illmatic, but . . . .

i think nas is dope, illmatic was one of the first cds i bought, and i never sleep on nas, though it is clear that his style has change but i think his lyrics are always on-point, it is true at how he is a bit big-headed
