You can pay for school but you can't buy class.
I got a A Tribe Called Quest vibe from itWhen that beat dropped, it immediately had me thinking of mid-90's just above the surface classic hi hop ish

Nas rockin that Carhartt WIP (Work In Progress) I see.
Many aren't up on that.
Damn near all my gear Carhartt or Carhartt WIP.
And they got some iLL t shirts that be selling out quick. Carhartt relaxed or loose jeans and pants are great too.
I have an addiction of collecting Carhartt WIP gadgets.
Too early to say probably but I'm calling this a classic. This will stand the test of time. First classic by an over 40s rapper?
I wanted to say no. But 444 comes to mind Busta last lp too
I respectfully disagree .KD2 may be a top 3 Nas album…

My boy said 4:44 when i said this too. Love Jay - but nah. This is far superior. I even went back to listen to 4:44 earlier this week after my boy said it. Good effort but KDII is that top shelf shit.I respectfully disagree .
Neither one of these are better than God's son or life is good and those are my 4 and 5 maybe. I'm surprised you got KD 1&2 over Stillmatic
I ain't got nothing better to do at work. I too shall revisit it why the hell not.. nah 4:44 crazy jay dropped one too lol. I forgot he was getting busy on this joint.My boy said 4:44 when i said this too. Love Jay - but nah. This is far superior. I even went back to listen to 4:43 earlier this week after my boy said it.

Idk if its too soon to be rearranging his top 5. For me
Illmatic, Stillmatic, and LIG are the standards to me. IWW is dope but not as elite to me but I recognize and understand folks putting it above the aforementioned 3. So that's 4 slots right there no matter how you order them. That's a tall order to remove one.
Here's where it gets dicey. LT, DR, or GS have always rounded out the top 5 for me depending on my mood. KD 1 or 2 should be there but idk about both. Not so soon at least?
Plus KD is what, his 4th wind? Hard to deny it when he followed it up with this joint. I think @AZTG spoke about how many resurgence he has had and that's seems outrageous to me. 94, 01, 12, and 20. Let that sink in....
I'd really like them to repackage KD 1/2 as a double disc so I can put it at 5 and be done with it lol
Combat Jack (RIP) had a great interview with Corey about all the corruption within the NYPDI just saw on Corey Pegues's IG about Tahiem's murder...
Apparently he Tahiem had produced/wrote a movie on corrupt NYPD too, dude was making moves...
RIP...

This made me think, who actually didn't make it past the sophomore jinx that had promise ??I dont care much about arranging Nas' top 5 albums.
I just think it needs to be mentioned how good Nas is.
Like dude is the goat and its not even close.
Nobody in hip hop has ever dropped such quality albums 30 years in.
Rappers fizzle out after their second album.
Its just how it is as a writer. You run out of things to write about.
Nas and Black Thought to me are the two people I can think of who are still writing 30 years into their careers still havent fell off.
Its not fair that Nas is talked about as one of the greatest rappers. Nas should really be in conversations about being one of the best poets in history.
Nas shouldnt be mentioned with Big, Jay, Pac and them. Nas should be mentioned with Poe, Shakespear and them.
Yup...that's also when I first heard of CoreyYeah thats where I first heard of him, I went and bought his book off of that podcast... Real good read!!!
A lot of them make the threadThis made me think, who actually didn't make it past the sophomore jinx that had promise ??
