For instance, Nas couldn't have been thinking Nastradamus was the next Illmatic when he made that shit.

Noggins* still wanna hear boom bap production and anything that even slightly deviates from that will be met with unfair criticism. Nocturnal* is actually my favorite Nas album under It Was Written. Nas doesn't want to make music strictly for "real hip hop heads", he's made that clear. He wants to try new sounds. <br /><br />The S.G.

There is also a stale R&B vibe to the album with weak choruses sung by who the fuck cares to hit home messages that are are a little less prevalent in this generation.

Few good tracks, few tracks that are outright crap, and a lot of tracks that could of been good, but just weren't for one reason or another. An album with that title (but not really) probably isn't gonna benefit from singles aimed at the charts.Derek Claptonnoreply@blogger.com
