So Nas wins a Grammy for his "Kings Disease" album

Geno · 03-14-2021, 11:43 PM

..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

Gibbs got robbed. Either way though both those albums were like barley in my top 10.

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

The Dead Poet · 03-15-2021, 12:19 AM

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.

Album was blah.

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 “

But madd respect nonetheless...I can't believe it has taken this long for Nas to get what he deserves. I haven't had a chance to peep his newest album but I'm glad that he has finally gotten his long-overdue acknowledgment.

The point is stillmatic, illmatic, lost tapes, none of those came out in 2021. But back when those albums came out the grammys just considered hip hop a fad genre that was gonna die soon anyway, so they snubbed the albums.

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

Eŋg · 03-15-2021, 01:00 PM

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.

evaD · 03-15-2021, 03:24 PM

Blueprint is better than It Was Written, let alone Stillmatic

New nas was good but this is clearly an honoury award for his career
