I could see Nas owning beats from 40, T-Minus, Alchemist, and a host of other dope producers. He's probably never going to sound good on pure swag rap beats or super busy Timbaland shit...but I'm cool with that.

He has annihilated every Justice League beat he's been on, for instance. The question has never been Nas falling off IMO, it's been a problem with him being a god damn dumbass. He does best when he has some form of linear guidance. For all the acclaim he gets for Illmatic, it should be noted MC Serch is the guy who brought those producers together. IWW was Steve Stout. Stillmatic was basically a bunch of producers wanting to go to war on Nas' side. God's Son seems like perhaps the only album where Nas had full control and did the right thing. Life Is Good is basically No ID trying his hardest to move Nas out of the gutter production wise, succeeding in some ways failing in others.

Which is why I'd love for Nas to hook up with Q-Tip. He has an ear for that "stuck in the 90s" shit, but also has an obvious talent for more modern shit. His work with Kanye speaks for itself; imagine Nas on the break beat heavy That's My Bitch, he'd kill that wack Kanye vese and fit with Jay's dope verse. Give me 3-4 Q-Tip beats as the foundation, and build around that with other dope producers. Get Salaam Remi the fuck out the building. He has some dope shit on LiG but it's time to go breh. And to think this is the guy that produced most of Amy Winehouse's best songs, yet rarely provides a head knocker for Nas - probably due to Nas picking the worst of the beats.

Q-Tip exec producing, Justice League, ALCHEMIST, Oh No, T-Minus, Kanye. There's no way to fuck that up. And for those clamoring for a struggle beat from Premier...dunno, maybe an interlude type track. He couldn't fuck that.

I actually revisited MCHG the other day and I take back what I said about there not being any quotables on the album. Thing is, they're pretty much all in Crown.

You in the presence of a king
Scratch that, you're in the presence of a GAWD

Fear is your only god
Getting y'all to fear me is my only charge.

Wasn't for the 'caine, wouldn't be able.
Wasn't for the bread, probably be dead.
Best friends become enemies, n***as knives are double edged.

I swear it seems like Jay's best lines on MCHG all revolve around religion/god. Probably why Heaven is my favorite song on the album, from a lyrics perspective
also probably because I'm a baby eating atheist

Would help Nas' career a lot. Most superproducers are on Jay's dick and it'll probably open their eyes to the untapped talent that is Nas.

Jay is too insecure, and like he said on The Breakfast Club, ain't nobody got time to deal with other artist's shit. And Nas has has been working in sanitation for a few years now. Maybe Jay would get inspired again though.

Will never happen.

Yes, pick three numbers. The winner gets to hang out shirtless with ASAP Yams in Harlem for a day.

Nah, every song they make together is pretty wack except Black Republicans. Success is alright i guess too.

They definitely SHOULD get together and release a Dead Presidents IV though.

Everyone in this thread should get an Android phone for the simple reason that you can download mixtapes and albums in .zip form, extract them, then put them in your music folder and listen, all on your phone. Can't count the number of times a tape has released while I was at work, so I had to download it straight on my phone and had it ready to listen to on the way home.

Any chance of me getting an iPhone went out the window when I read that you can't save/download anything from the browser.

With Goodreader on iOS you can but you can't play files downloaded through the Music app. You have to play through Goodreader's player.

Furthest Thing should've been a single. Hook is amazing for that record.

I just lost my entire music collection. It's all gone. All of it, from my iPod and computer. Also I have Olde English soaked in my hair right now. I'm about to drink myself into submission over this shit.
