Nas beats really aint all that bad
He rap over those throwback late 80's early 90's type beats that alots cats may not like

Nas is my favorite mc so I'm probably a little bias but I don't think his beats are that awful for the most part. He can be hit or miss but the beats rarely take away from the song imo.
Ras Kass is my all time vote, I'm still waiting for an accappella of Soul on Ice to drop so somebody make a version worthy of the rapping on that album.

Took way too long for the Based God to be mentioned. Ear for beats is crazy (when he's not intentionally trying to rap over some crazy, odd sounding beat)

Oh yes the hell they are. Sometimes an obscure or less popular Nas song will come up on my Ipod and I won't immediately recognize it. The beat will come in and my hand is instantly to the skip button. But usually before I can skip it I realize its a Nas track and let it spin lol. His beats are generally forgettable. As opposed to say Jay-Z. I can identify probably every song in Jay-Z's catalog off the beat alone.
Beats may not take away from the song, but what do they add? Very little if anything.

I've said this repeatedly, Lil B needs to give his producers to Nas, and at this point, maybe even Talib Kweli

It goes both ways, I can name at least 10 dudes off top who get carried by their beats
Yeah dude slipped my mind I can rock with Lil B tho
He can fill up a tape with nice beats from dudes you've never heard of and prolly won't again after the tape

Dude kills me trying to talk like he's above good beats...that's a major knock I have against Nas.
Don't care how lyrical you are.

Nas shoulda stuck with Premier and Large Professor. Their beats fit him perfect.

Life is Good is so wack to me now.
That's one CD by Nas that I don't even rock with anymore.
When dudes say Nas is on dust its not hard to believe sometimes when you hear his beat selection.

I'll give you stay. All those other beats are trash.
Nas has wasted so many years spitting on wack beats...
All we needed was the Premo album, a few joints with Pete Rock, RZA, 9th. What makes it even sadder is that RZA and 9th gave this guy beats and he never used them.
But then he'll put 2-3 wack *** tracks with Salaam on the album, or some other garbage producer, and then the excuse Nas gives is he needs a clear canvas or some ****...foh. Dude hasn't worked with Large Pro in forever, but he can spit some bs on locomotive as a hype man, but he can't get one of his beats on the album?
Clear canvas my ***. Terrible ear for beats.
Then Premo comes out this week and says...yeah Nas has one more album to give Def Jam and then we're going in on the joint album...
Yeah right.

nas really got u mad with his beat selection

i just think he prefers his lyrics to be the upfront thing instead of his beats im guessing

Spitta has the best if I had to choose ONE guy.
Em has the worst, by far.

Hear me out... Chief Keef is a terrible rapper. I cannot even understand anything he says, it's all just a bunch of mumbling to me. But I do really like some of his beats..
