Leave me a voicemail of you singing Roxanne.

I'll do it if Himu does it too.

I think I've gotten Himu to send me voicemail before.
Himu, do it again.

I don't spend much time worrying about The Police.
But then again, I'm white.

Let's try to predict future PD threads
"Are we gonna pretend Phil Collins doesn't have classics?"
"Rank your top 3 Robin Williams movies"
"Miracle Whip- what DOESN'T it go on?"

I can tell he's a big Patch Adams fan.

"Are we gonna pretend Robert DeNiro doesn't have classics?"

I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl in 2008. Still one of the most memorable shows I've been to.
Did they play I'll Be Missing You?

The production of Illmatic and It Was Written is classic, shit I just got the beat of The Message stuck in my head thanks to reading this :rejoice

I Am has some good beats, although it sounds dated today which is the case of a lot of flashy late 90s production (see: Diddy, Jay, DMX, etc). Nas' failure is largely post-I Am to me, although that album is very mixed. I honestly believe Jay would not have much of an argument if Nas had not released Nastradamus. That album was trash despite a few gems (Come Get Me, Project Windows). Nas was vulnerable after that, and Jay capitalized for short term success. If the original I Am had come out featuring those Lost Tapes tracks he would have been untouchable.
The early aughts were full of great production, and Rocafella had two of the best producers as in-house producers (Kanye and Just Blaze); they also had Heatmakerz. Meanwhile Nas had...Remi. He refused to bunker down with Premo, who at the time was still making good tracks (2nd Childhood comes to mind). To me that run after Stillmatic is the issue - God's Son (which is a good album), Street's Disciple, HHID, and Untitled were all marred by questionable decisions. As I said God's Son is generally viewed as a good album, but even it had that shitty Zone Out track. I refuse to listen to Street's Disciple to this day because I don't want to give Nas that L lol. HHID has some HORRIBLE beats. And of course Untitled is mixed but largely has bad production.
Meanwhile Jay, Kanye, TI, Wayne, and nearly every other noteworthy rapper of the time was rapping over dope shit.
My final nerd point: I believe Nas is positioned for a renaissance. Life Is Good was a great album despite a few questionable beats, and since then he has even admitted he doesn't pick great beats. If Nas can just do the right thing, like get Q-Tip to exec produce his next album, he'll release a great album. Unlike most of the dudes of that era, he's still spitting great shit. He just needs beats.

imagine Rick Ross exec producing :ohhh
God's Son:
Great tracks:
-Get Down
-Made You Look
-Last Real nicca Alive
-Thugz Mansion
Good tracks:
-Warrior Song
-Heaven
-Dance
-Revolutionary Warfare
-The Cross
Ok:
-I Can
-Book Of Rhymes (mad overrated imo)
Trash:
-Zone Out
-Hey Nas
-Mastermind (wtf @ this beat brehs)
The album was well received, in fact it's metacritic is higher than just about every recent Hov album :hitler

God's Son :bow

Nah Ross has a great ear not just for beats, but who would sound great on them. Which is why all his Nas collabs have been dope. He wouldn't pick any trap beats Nas. I'd imagine it would e a bunch of Justice League beats, and in general a very lush project.

I don't consider that a traditional trap song *shrug*
that's not some simple 808 shit.
-
I suppose we have different views on trap. Technically in many ways Mike Will, Mustard, etc are doing versions of (more melodic) trap, but when I think of that sound in general I think of shit like this.

simple 808s and heavy claps. Triple Beam Dreams isn't that barebones. But I digress, the point is I wouldn't expect Ross to give Nas a random beat he'd give Meek.
