firm slice pies, couple of trife guys in tinted up white 5s
i had the firm cd for forever without bothering to listen to it, but i got the bootleg-ass az/nas duets cd a while ago and the last 20 (out of 60, i think-- another 20 of the 60 are az drops for the no name dj that put it together, then another 10 are remixes of 'life's a bitch'...) tracks are just the firm album.
some of it is CLASSIC nas, like:

nas late 90s super arrogance organized crime raps
JEEPS TAHOE, SHOES BE SALVATORE FERRAGAMO
some of it's good

az verse is ridiculous

too bad nas wasn't on those bravehearts albums more, or we'd have a consensus pick for worst album.
anyways, here's something with bravehearts with everyone coming pretty credibly on a beautiful beat. i'm feeling this so much right now. this is my soundtrack today. ha, EVERYONE is good on this.

sorry for making a mess, posting nas youtubes here, unreleased or guest tracks or whatever, but, you see, i'm generally making a case for post-illmatic nas.
KOOL G RAP FT. NAS AND AZ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOU8RXGQ1LI
and i'm gonna just put this here because we're talking about nas and that's a good enough excuse. this is the realest piece of music i've ever heard.

post away man, nothing makes an argument better than aural proof!

i don't think digging nastradamus is some crazy fringe thing. man, it's got some good songs on it. if nas released 'life we chose' or 'project windows' as a single right now, what would it sound like? these still sound really fresh to me, really real. what are the really lame tracks on nastradamus? even 'you owe me' is aight now and it's stuck way at the end of the album so you know it's just the radio song like the lauryn hill one was (also stuck at the end of the record).
come get me (premo beat) <-------- just hope ur favorite rapper's consensus worst album has a track like this on it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpuVaCA8_gg
life we chose <--------- top 10 nas verse, sorta it was written vibe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL4lLFoDJx4
project windows ft. ron isley <------ sensitive nas shedding tears for the streets, for illmatic loving crew
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV_-aemTtTc
family ft mobb deep <---------- tinny beats (dame grease), p and havoc

kinda surprised by the strong showing for HHID, liked it at first but have come to regard as the weakest of his '00s albums
― some dude, Friday, 12 March 2010 00:10 (fourteen years ago) link
ha weirdly i had HHID on in the car today. it's a good album but it's definitely flawed and corny as hell at times ("who killed it?" in particular has aged even worse than i'd expected). probably liked it more when it came out than i do now.
totally forgot how gay "black republican" is
"esco, what up""what up, homie"[nas and jay grunt and moan in synchrony]"yeah, that's perfect" [grunts][more grunting][laughing]

i totally don't remember "Black Republican" sounding at all like they were ever in the same room, let alone any "Coming of Age"-style pillow talk
― some dude, Friday, 12 March 2010 00:32 (fourteen years ago) link
haha it's in the intro, listen to it
― hip negative (k3vin k.), Friday, 12 March 2010 00:36 (fourteen years ago) link
that black republicans intro sounds like it was cut and pasted from dj drops and other intros.
preemptive updated "myths nas stans believe" entry:
nas murdered jay on black republicans.

finally checked out I Am. think this one's a little underrated. obv not a patch on God's Son, Stillmatic, or It Was Written but a worthy addition imo
