What can be said that hasn’t already about Nas. In my opinion, he is the greatest of all time. Maybe it’s a personal thing for me because (like many of you) I grew up on Nas. We saw him transform from a kid in the projects to an international superstar. There are many Hip Hop heads that wait for Nas albums as if they were some kind of holiday (don’t call it hell day) or something. There’s nothing left to say except that he is a genius.
My idea for this compilation series is to drop Nas tracks that were never on his albums. Hopefully, I can take you back down memory lane for a minute. Stay tuned for Volume 2 next Sunday. Peace.
Tracklist:
1. Subway Theme
2. Talk Of NY
3. 1 on 1
4. One Plus One
5. Serious feat. AZ
6. Everyday feat. Nature and Dr. Dre
7. Amongst Kings
8. Sincerity (Mary J. Blige,DMX,Nas)
9. Analyze This (Lord Tariq, Jay-Z, Nas)
10. Stillmatic (Jay-Z Diss)
11. Film
Dope Tape!
And i agree with what you said about Nas because I’ve grown up with his music too.
He may have had that “weak” Album (Nastradamus) but he was smart enough to drop another one after that what could’ve been the career ending album for many artists.
Big up to Nas!
Wassup Smu!,
Nastradamus was weak by Nas standards at the time but better than 90% of current releases. I have some bombs for you next week. Stay tuned. Peace.
Sounds good to me brother!
Keep it going!
Peace!
@Smu,….i enjoy your remix’s.
@7thboro fans-Stroy did a really cool thing here…..other than project itself.He give you the Wild Style soundtrack version of Subway Theme aka Genesis.I Love Genesis (Phil Collins too,lol.)Seriously a lil’ bonus info on the Trk.(1)……Blondie producer/musician Chris Stein and(Blondie’s the group,Debbie Harry the vocals) Chic (yes,that same “La freak”,Freak-Out)….guitarist Nile Rodgers worked all the music for Wild Style along w/GMC or Grandmaster Caz.You (if weren’t in the know) can piece it together lovely like this.Blondie…..makes song Rapture (’81) before anyone in world outside of TF5(The Fabulous 5,Fred’s writing CREW) had clue who the dude from Bed-Sty would be in your living rooms every Sat. night via Satellite and MTV.Debbie….a CBGB’s regular performer ’78-81(the pre-Blondie day’s)…..played-out in real life…..same way it did in flick everything from downtown came from uptown and the “Moco-Down.”…..So she uses the infamous “FFF” line in “Rapture.”…..Charlie Ahearn (WS director)…..gets Fred’s math from Debbie……Patti Astor plays an A-ALIKE to Debbie intro-ing…..LEE (or ZORRO) to The Scene that was bubbling Downtown.Surround that storyline around the “DIXIE”…..and the 3 elements going on under 1 roof…..BONG!!!!!……anyone interested in aquiring some of these mp3’s on VINYL…..if Stroy likes i’ll put together a “buyer’s guide”……Nicely done……ps-Sandra “Lady Pink” Fabrara whom play’s Zorro’s “love” interest showing even a GREAT BBOY Flick isn’t complete w/out a romantic sub-plot….lol
