Street´s Disciple

[mulmens]

Any1 got the new Nas album? I wonna know if it´s worth it.

[mulmens]

He has his ups an downs and wonna know whether this one´s an upper or a downer. Buying crap cd´s can really hurt your love of new music.

[machiavella]

saw  his music video on mtv, I think its good o´l reliable Nas...and  i don´t really agree with you about  his ups and downs ,for me he´s been one of the most consistent mc´s of his contemporaries, anyway  its nothing spectacular  but he delivers and that´s good enough. if your a nas fan it´ll be money well spent :-P

Speaking of Nas, I checked at Musica that his Stillmatic and his God´s Son album are both R80.Pretty cool.Now if u got a student card, it would cost u 10% less.Wonder if I should buy one of them.

Which is better of the 2?Stillmatic?

[mulmens]

Stillmatic´s aight, but Godson´s a level lower. It sems like a trend. Itwas written lower than Illmaic. Nastradamus lower than I Am. Hopefully This one will be better than Godson.

[Naturelle]

its hard to say they both got such diverse ish i luv rule and second childhood off stillmatic.. But God´s son has heaven on it...so...buy both its only 160 for both rite so its like two for the price of one.

[mulmens]

Stillmatic was heavily poetic and on a socio-economic-political tip, his genius re-emerged then.

[mulmens]

Best advice is trust your instincts

How do you´ll rate his discography? I havent heard Streets Disciple yet but some people say its solid while others say its boring /"beats are too throwback".


using a five mic rating, I would say:
ILLMATIC - @@@@@
short, but cla**ic

IT WAS WRITTEN - @@@@
first Nas album for me really. I heard Illmatic much later on.

I AM - @@@@.5
solid.

NASTRADAMUS(retail) - @@.5
rushed, commercial bull

THE FIRM - @@@
something missing, too much hype

STILLMATIC - @@@@.5
Almost cla**ic. Nice come back!

THE LOST TAPES vol1 - @@@@@
not a real album, but this compilation proves Nas´unreleased catalog is unfukwittable. Dude is always leaving the best songs off the retail album.

GOD SON - @@@.5
mature, but very little playback value

I am Nastradamus 2cd (Bootleg) - @@@@.5
this is the album that ended up being split into "I AM..." and "The lost tapes vol1", if Colombia had put this out as retail it would definitely have been contender for best double disc

Death of Escobar - ??
havent heard this yet

ILLMATIC Reissue 2004 - -
same as debut but the 2 new tracks(with not so new beats), "STAR WARS" and "ON THE REAL" are hot.


Street´s Disciple - ??

I personally think Nobody can even thinking about f***in wit Nas, The songs like(last one on stillmatic, last words,i gave u power, ether(f***in JZ up, 2nd childhood,)2 many to name, I need to calm down( if i were a lady I´d be all moist right now...LOL

I dont really have time to fully address this Nas issue now as I´m HECTIC now but allow me to offer this link:

Its HipHopSite & they usually offer very insightful reviews (except when it comes to MF DOOM who they are CLEARLY biased to)...

Will see yall on Monday with clearer views..hopefully my copy will be here by then seeing as I DIDNT download it out of principle.. :-]

[nas-fan]

i actually like gs betta than stillmatic, tho 2nd childhood iz 1 of ma fav tracks eva... i heard streets disciple was z(or is) hiz best since illmatic, havent heard it tho...

[MaddStone]

Wonder if I can approach the record company and hook me up a promo copy for reviewing purposes.I also vibe with Tate on that whole downloading thing.Usually I DL to peep the vibe of an album, but sometimes I dont really feel like doing that either cause I dont really burn the stuff DL´d.I like listening to the original cd rather.Has a better feel for me.

So tate, u buying that new album of Nas?

[TNGlive]

Look out for the joint featuring Luda.
That´s my joint right now. Too fresh!
