So Nas wins a Grammy for his "Kings Disease" album
..just skimmed it. Idk man. If nas shoulda won a grammy ever. It should have been one of his first 3 albums. His winning this shit just goes to show the state of rap/hiphop is garbage. I dont like the beats. He doesnt sound like hes into the shit hes talking about, still has nasty syllable game obv. But this body of work winning a grammy over his first 3 albums is a fucking joke. I hate hiphop

Idk bruh think you're selling Nas short. Stillmatic was fire and The Lost Tapes had some certified gems.

They should go back and do a retroactive grammy for all the music that should've been acknowledged with an "Okay we fucked up" apology letter but bigging up some average nas album now is just lame and too little too late the analogy of Leo getting an oscar for the revenant was on point. The movie was wack, nobody's gonna remember it as a classic in 10 years and there's no reason it should've ever gotten an oscar in the first place. Meanwhile shit like titanic, inception, shutter island, wolf of wall street all got snubbed when they shouldn't have It's cool they both got some acknowledgement eventually but it's the wrong way to go about it |

I still love nas as an artist.. but hes nowhere near what he was back then and hims winning a grammy now with this doodoo album just solidifies thepoint that rap today is trash. Basically thats what my point was. Dont get me wrong about nas' talent though, and i do agree that he may have had 1or2 after his first 3 albums that could have recieved grammies. But its good to see you self. Glad you popped in here bruh!

I misread the OP and was initially under the impression he was suggesting that Nas had not dropped any high quality material since his 3rd release. I know now that’s not what he said or implied, but that’s what prompted initially my response. I was completely off-base. My bad. Reading is fundamental. In any case, what up Geno? Drop something soon.

Yo.. this joint homie. Phewww Now that i think about it for real yo. Nas got me through some REAL Dark points in my life. Then after him the only other 2 cats that had that kind of grip on me were Eminem and then after God Of War told me i was the text Joe Budden i then checked out Joe Budden for the first time and WHOAAAA he was instantly my favorite rapper and i grabbed EVERYTHING he ever did. I understood right away his comparison. I fell in love with the depth he dropped. Just crazy life and relationship shit. Real talk Joey was THAT DUDE imo. Then Drake came along and filled his apot when joey fell off for a short time. But this is a Nas thread lol. Herea that track. With good headphones the bass line is just unghhhh

Stillmatic came out in 2001. Blueprint came out in 2001. It's not the best album out that year. Illmatic was amazing. It's what happens when a youngster comes along and all the big homie (producers) realize how good he could be. The only time an album has come together with all the best producers at the time for an up and commers debt has been Game's Documentary.

Feels like a consolation award. Kind of like giving Leo an Oscar for “The Revenant” which is far from his best performance. They’re just like “this guy hasn’t got one yet, so let’s give him one “

the revenant was a better film than wolf of wall street.
and i love most of scorsese's work - seen damn near everything he's done. shutter island and inception are top tier though. |
