Re: The Official Rap Thread part 2

by Thimmy Thu 28 Jun 2012 - 10:41

So... I was browsing through random videos on youtube, out of boredom, and I stumbled across this video:

What the hell is that? It must be some kind of parody, right? You can actually see a massive booger inside his nose at 0:37. His other videos are completely ridiculous, as well. I don´t know if it´s acting, or what.. but he appears to have some kind of mental handicap. I don´t wanna be mean, but I don´t see any other explanation behind it Razz

I have to admit, though.. his lyrics are pretty damn funny.

"Infinity knives" << Haha!

^Lol, he's serious. I think he believes he can actually rap. And the dude that stands next to him in every video doing nothing is called Money Maker Mike Laughing

Lol! More like My Buddy Handles the Mic. All he does is stand there and look "cute". He even winks at one point in that video Razz

I spilled coffee all over myself, the first time I watched it. I wonder if he writes the texts himself.. or maybe it´s Money Maker Mike who does that? Rolling Eyes

Nas - Life Is Good just leaked.

DLing now, can't wait

5 tracks in and the albums amazing.

by II Capitano Fri 13 Jul 2012 - 18:02

Agreed, dmize. Rap album of the year easily for me, so far. Only Kendrick Lamar or The Roots can overpower Nas this year, although I don't know if the latter are releasing an album.

by Blue Barrett Fri 13 Jul 2012 - 18:44

I think this is quite amazing

No doubt. I'd go as far as to say:

Illmatic
It Was Written
Stillmatic
Life Is Good

Only behind the classics..

I rate Stillmatic above It Was Written.

I think I'm gonna wait and buy it in stores though. Nas, the Don :bow:

lol, what a fail. Just downloaded it. Nas = GOAT :bow:

Not me but I can't argue with those that do. But for me, in IWW, Nas was at his peak lyrically, some of the best production he's had, The Firm, etc all makes it his 2nd best.

Plus I think "The Message" is the best track on either album.

I'm partially biased toward Stillmatic because I listened to it first and three of my favorite Nas tracks are on there. What Goes Around, You're Da Man and One Mic. Also 'Rewind' is one of the most creative tracks of all time.

I listen to a lot of different types of music! I like to mix it up a bit, every now and then.

I have to admit, though.. I probably listen to more mainstream-sounding rap than most of the regulars in this thread do Razz

Nas be killing it this year!!! Smile

And btw, I'm quite impressed by Kendrick Lamar, young n*gga, but he can fecking spit.

I know this term is kinda old and used by many feckers, but Kendrick is trully "Lyrically Insane"!!! My favourites from him:

~Look Out For Detox
~The Recipe (feat. Dr Dre)
~Ignorance Is Bliss

I hope he and Em get together and make something mind-blowing ASAP!

Listened to all of Life is Good.

Very high quality from Nas as usual. Even though his choice of tracks in Untitled was less than satisfactory, as he himself said, Life is Good is truly great from start to finish. It's brilliant to hear from the game's greatest rapper (imo) spitting with inspiration from his recent struggles with Kelis and his daughter.

Nas the Don :bow:
