Talk Ish

I liked Magic 3, but people have been hyping up a lot of mid from these Nas projects. Magic 2 was pretty trash. Nas needs to refrain from trying to experiment.

 

[a blinkin]

I think people are more so impressed with Nas’ output over the last few years than they are with the actual projects. But to say the bars are trash is wild. Magic 3 had heat.

Dudes on budden podcast really just be saying **** just to say ****.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

We know Ish is a Nas hater though

 

[finessence]

The beats and lyrics are on par with a 50 year old in the twilight of his CAREER having fun.

I just wish some these cats would admit that they don’t want adult music, or just dislike smooth, slow tempo, cruising raps. Nas makes music for us adults who just want to lounge, cruise and dissect his lyrics.

Nas has always, and will forever be that n_ the Deion Sanders, Barry Sanders, Barry Bonds of rap. It’s so easy to him that dudes will always find a way to nitpick.

Nas has been nitpicked his whole career because it’s always been effortless for him.

My man was literally rhyming over those trash salaam remi beats just to dumb his self down for idiots like Ish.


Cats like Ish are just old dudes who want to appeal to younger people WHICH is cool.


If you want that uptempo, pill popping music, go listen to it.

Gotta give Magic 3 more time but KD3 & Magic 2 were the only projects I'd agree weren't on par. If Nas didn't make songs like Motion and just put the best songs off Magic 2 & 3 on Magic 1 (9 songs), they wouldn't rly have an argument

 

[All Ready]

ish is really just like joe

he just hides it behind green eyes

but you can tell he doesn’t respect alotta things

he’s holding nas current rhymes to early jay z lyrics

when in reality jay not dropping any worthwhile albums since american gangster

 

[finessence]

Jay has made good albums/music post American Gangster (which was 2007)

But to say Nas’ lyrics on the album are trash is just false.

Nas has always been able to reinvent himself

 

[All Ready]

outside of watch the throne which I personally don’t care for that much (no I’m not ice) I haven’t heard a good jay album

 

[MajinZuub]

444 was great

 

[Magic33]

he just hides it behind green eyes

Pause

but I've been telling you guys that Ish is just like Joe and just as argumentative and loud.

and I listen to 4:44 and A Written Testimony more than any of these Nas projects

 

[Magic33]

Jay has made good albums/music post American Gangster (which was 2007)

Nas has always been able to reinvent himself

He's not reinventing himself

Reinventing yourself is like Drake does by stealing styles

or Tity Boy becoming 2 Chainz

 

[All Ready]

444 was cool lyrically but the mix on it is horrible intentional or not

s**t sounds really low and dull

ish hides his dirtbag ways behind green eyes is what I meant and I wouldn’t pause it cause it has no effect on me so i see how he really moves

ish really act like mel actually, both act like they ain’t been active in the streets

benzino just said he was bagging mel or came close to and I wanted to hear them talk about it smh

 

[thekillerj23]

Ish a goofy and certified hater, what Nas did this late in his career is incredible, 6 albums in 3 years, even if you the biggest hater, KD2 and KD3 are top tier work. KD2 had Lauryen Hill rapping like 1999 lol

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Salute to Nas but I been ready for the Hit Boy run to be over four albums ago.

On the flipside, while I haven’t really personally enjoyed this era in his career as much as others, I love the praise that he’s getting and can’t take anything away from 6 projects in a few years at this stage of his career. Bars as timeless as his hairline.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Somebody gotta tell Ish this ain't the way you get invited to the Brunch.

 

[Arthur Shelby]

ish is really just like joe

he just hides it behind green eyes

 

[All Ready]

lol y’all boys reaching

he was getting away with his takes all the way up til mel joined the pod and she started acting like he was attacking her with his takes

he was skating free cause chicks like him

but he was saying things that Joe would say that would make him go viral for negativity

now chicks that like him are saying he hates women

all this is literally on the show and has been talked about on the show between the cohosts, people writing in and calls

 

[Magic33]

Bleek is an excellent story teller. I'm always reminded when he does interviews.

He's a funny dude.

 

[sneakaprince]

I was just thinking damn bleek is a good story teller. I don't want a pod of just him but I'd definitely check out some long form content from him and other people who were there for the early days of the Roc.

 

[ill steelo]

Bleek instead of Nick in drumline is interesting. Woulda gave that movie a whole different tone. Jay being mad at him for turning it down

 

[Magic33]

Joe should have known this was going to happen



I don't really know of her beyond the Cardi lawsuit. She does gossip I assume.

I know Silkk the Shocker was supposed to be the lead too.

Bleek is appreciated. Good albums, good story telling.

 

[All Ready]

drum line was based off dallas austin

damn near everybody black you can imagine tried out for that role

All I know about her too. But if you gon play in the mud...
