My name on Reddit is "losermobile" for a weird reason
Estee Nack is ridiculously underrated
Proffesor Skye, as a Dominican man I would really enjoy to have further discussions with you about DR, our relationship with Haiti & things of that matter.
Nack is definitely A modern day Big Pun! They flowin!! The breath control is crazy!!
I wouldn't compare him to Pun. Nack doesn't really flow when he raps. Just sounds like he says a bunch of words that rhyme. But, the beats he raps on are dope! Nacksaw Jim Duggan album is fire
bro nicks rhymes amazingly and his flow is crazy , what ya on about@@klynch572
ADLIB
¡Coño!
I appreciate how you break this down and how hip hop is really for everyone. An educated white guy talking about this art form and talks about the music but what's behind the music the human experience. Well said. This has to be one of the best youtube videos in a while. Yeah I noticed the big pun thing too lol
Clearly im of Dominican decent, born and raised in NYC. Keep up the work, Professor.
Long live the island Hispaniola 🇩🇴/🇭🇹
I see you from the other side !!! 🇭🇹/🇩🇴
Long live Hispaniola !
I would say that Nack (and Divino) have always had a deeply experimental edge that sets them apart from others in the "coke rap" camp. Nack seems to excel over more abstract and dissonant productions, so I would guess that alot of the "weirdness" of the album comes from WSG trying to engage with Nacks already established universe. I like that West blends that with the signature Griselda grimey and loop based tracks so it maintains the feeling of a classic Griselda project, while also being something very new. Salute!
Exactly! I've listened to most Estee Nack albums and this one is the least weird haha..
"Akira On Acid" LP is trippy
The experimental nature of their music comes from Divino but Nack quickly caught on to what he was doing, he mentions it right after that “Al.Divino taught me how to rap” quote thst everyone talks abt
I would agree King, but can Nack really be fly? I'm sorry but I've never seen him with an expensive messenger bag like the Big Homie Wess. And if he did wear one it would look a bit like putting a rubber band on a boiled and peeled egg, nah mean? I mean, I like the music but I'm more into it when they product is presented like the Big Homie Wess!!! Like those thigh high boots made out of road kill and some white stockings and AT LEAST one brand like Chanel or Fenti, nah mean? It's 2023 we've moved on from masculinity , that's the only thing we NOT bringing back from the 90's nah mean??? Big Griselda we in here live from the streetz.
@@Curling_Rack insane album, listened to it on the plane landing into japan 🌊🔥
Thanks for talking about Nackman Coltrane
And, for history's sake, divino used to be down with Mach & Fahim, and they were on his Dump Gawd divino edition....but a rift got caused around him dropping edition 2 "without their approval" or something along those lines. So, their "griselda" roots go way back. Divino and Starker also did the art for Peace Fly God, which goes back thru divino and WSG's history. So. This shit was a long time in the making, love the reviews professor!
Professor I'm so happy!! I was scared you were going to pass by this one. You finally reviewed the real underground of the underground. Estee Nack and Al.Divino (listen to face melt or any collab album with Estee if you wanna hear the deepest and rawest hiphop out there). And no the weirness does not come from Westside, if anything, this album has his voice less grunting and more clear.. Thanks!!
‘WEMADEHISTORY’ definitely is one of my favorite off the tape.
Nack been a BOSS for years, 30+ albums strong. Get familiar
🧏🏾♂️
Nack might be the most skilled rapper of the last 7/8 years outside of Mach and Roc, I think the beat selection could have been a bit better but it’s impressive to see a rapper that can rock every sort of backdrop thrown at him
it’s hard to feel amazing about the beats when the nack x sadhu tape exists
nack is the goat out this mf dope video
@@amitaisnoNackman is Dope AF
This is the review that is literally the PERFECT description of how I feel about this album.
Professor, I think I stumbled upon your videos after a review of some of Mach-Hommy's work and I've been a fan of you ever since.
And you live in Rochester which is as close as you can get city wise from Buffalo, so that further made me biased to your reviews. Keep up the amazing work 🙌🏿
Professor I need that woods interview in my veins 😩
Editing in progress. Sloooow progress
@@professorskye I’ve been waiting for this review! Thank you! 🫡
16:19 It’s definitely an ode to legendary Dominican jazz musicianship with the 5/4 meter of the music. Literally NOBODY is doing that. Estee Nack is a GAWD.
24:27 This is a continual popularly referenced song in Dominican music / Pop music. I believe the last few times it was “popular” was with DJ Laz & Danny D’s, “Mami El Negro” in the 1990’s and another decade or so later repopularized/interpolated by Pitbull in the 2000’s with “The Anthem” ft. Lil’ Jon. The theme and lyrics of the original, “El Africano” by Wilfrido Vargas have always been a source of controversy due to its dark yet somewhat accepted content.
36:52 Yes. “Blood” (Red) gang members usually omit “C”’s in their vocabulary and replace them with a “B”. The opposite can be said for “Crip” (Blue) gang members with the letters “B” omitted because of its affiliation with “bloods” and in some “crip” gangs, the letter “K” because of its relation to the phrase “Crip Killa”.
why is el africano controversial??
@@AIFAMMA “Mom, the black guy is rabid - he wants to dance with me and tell my father. Mom, I lay quietly in bed, tucked in from head to toe and the black guy comes and uncovers me. Mom, what does the black guy want?”
That is the song translated to English.
@@Yah_Mean ahhh i see. thanks for the knowledge!!! Estee Nack is still fucking hard lol
Thank you professor Skye! You are doing an incredibly important job reviwing all those albums. Fantastic work
that joke ab marcus smart was hilarious 😂 😂 😂
Glad that you're getting into Nack-mandela! Looking forward to the album - so far I've only heard the track with WSG and love it... there's a TON of stuff he's put out in recent years, both solo, with al.divino and others.
He's a great addition to the Griselda crew. His work is even stranger than your usual GxFR stuff. The first _Triple Black Diamonds_ with al.divino is a great start cause it's relatively straight forward boom-bap. The recent _Part 2_ shows how far out they've gone. The (other) recent album with V Don is amazing.
_Abrakadabra Alakazam_ is an underground classic!!
PS. I love your whole future plans for Tucker Carlson, Griselda-related... AND OTHERWISE! 🤣🤦♂️
My usual Post-post script: Yes, America is great _because_ of immigration... not despite it!
We got alotta ⚾️🏀⚽️🏈🏐🎱🥎 to wanna close the border now that we're all here, stole the country, destroyed the natives, etc etc etc etc etc.... love the scene from _The Sopranos_ when Tony & Carm sit around the table with his sis & brother in law, talking about the ways their ancestors got into the country - some of them illegally, but "they should build a wall now, boy, I'm tellin' ya!" 🤣🙄🤦♂️SMH
PPPS. Your son is a mutha🤬 BADA$$! 😁 The Winston Churchill snapback is just... 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯💯😗🤌 (chef's kiss) _PERFECTION!_
if the album sounds weird to you production wise it’s cause nack is far more abstract than your traditional griselda rappers. gunn tried to cater to nack’s sound thru his lens and did a pretty good job in the process. idk if you’ll ever dive into nack’s discography but most of his stuff is pretty far out there.
PS - he said in a song back in 2018 he took his first steps in 85. so he’s not embarrassed about his age as he’s never hid it. (he’s also not a fan of the red sox, patriots or the celtics lol iykyk)
Seriously... for example, _Triple Black Diamonds Pt 2_ with divino is NUTS!
He'll put your baby mother in a full Nelson too
"Conductor we have a problem" in the year book would've been legendary.
And ANGELDIOR sounds like nack flipping a stove god flow....but all his own way
AMAZING REVIEW AND AMAZING ALBUM
Thank you Professor Big Papi
Nacksaugus !!!!
I love Estee Nack for the mere fact that he can spit on some of the most unique beats and still sounds 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Listen to BRAP! Estee and V Don album from this year.
Great album! 🔥
JR Swift been on several Griselda projects over the last few years.
Hope to get a Nack x Mach-Hommy collab in the future, that would be ill. Nack and NiCE and Fahim has happened, but not Mach
Luv your passion Professor ❤💪🏿
Nack might be older...but he got a link to the youth through divino, which he openly admits. Nack and the tragic allies been major since back in the wu disciples days. And Nack's OG is kingasiatic allah...do your research on who HE is and was.
And gunn matched the beats to nack's personality, they feel right at home on a nack project....triple black diamonds, veda, destiny, I wanna fxck Carmen Hayes, etc...
Much appreciated professor!
The flow that Nack uses in the song is easier to hear in a song called “Piropi”. Where Angeldior raps in the cadence and vocal inflections that Nack used in the hook.
Ive been a griselda fan... for the last 8 or 9 yrs...
Estee Nack is one my favorites to listen to besides conway & stove god
Estee Nack has soo much muzik out there its not even funny...
Naacksaaw Jim Duggan is a classic
Check out BRAP And the Nackmagellan eP as well
Nack & mach would be nice duo to hear. 2 different styles on westside production
Tina Turner was my late fathers favorite live preformer
The first time I heard Estee Nack was on Banana Yacht by Westside Gunn off HWH7, which was also my first Griselda project. That track was such a perfect intro to his music. The lack of drums, the loops, the bars, the cavernous adlibs, I remember thinking “I need to check this guy out after I listen to more Gunn.” At the time, I did not know just how long it would take to listen to even a fraction of all the music WSG puts out.
The opener on this track was a perfect re-introduction to Estee Nack. The production is just insane. No drums, absolutely minimal sample, just pure in-your-face rapping. The production is such a great match for his style. I’ve been bumping this for like a week straight.
On repeat to THIS DAY
You can get a foreign Beemer a few ways....be in Germany. Or. Get a model they have to import aka they don't sell at your local BMW dealer....
Bars and Vibes 🔥🔥🔥
Also you’re right about the replacing C with B, it’s a thing for Bloods,
Although it is speculated weather Gunn is just doing it for vibes or is actually a blood, Hus Kingpin refuted it on his diss track against him & Mach in response to Easter Gunnday 4 called Easter Wave Night
Funnily enough Hus is the reason Griselda and Mach exist in the form they do now
love em both , Hus is fascinating
You got my subscribe bub, NACK MAN!
Este is gold, man. Extremely unique
Prof Skye, I’m lovin’ the Lynn, MA love! When I last checked in, things weren’t going so well, hope they’re better now! Purina is probably dog food (heroin), from needle holes looking like dog bites.
peace
COÑO
And....you didn't really touch on the flow the Lynn, 23 incredible, minimansion affiliates have been perfecting...the splash. When you talked about him just rhyming syllables...it's like jazz skat type shit, nack has likened his flows to the percussion of a song. Divino, hidden character, mellos, datkidbravo, neyusi loe, bori rock....they got a massive catalogue amongst themselves, flows very unique to their clique
I love this so much. But u shoulda said pierce over smart😭
Angeldior pissed me off! I’d just acquired that sample and was about to flip it when that album came out.
When I heard “TIME” by estee nack I was like whoaa… I can’t criticize his style. But I rather hear nack than the regular safe drill music style.
They have brought back the golden era version 2.0
Great album but his best work to date is Golden Fleece with Sadhugold.
you shoulded know about tragic allies and minimansion
You gotta listen to the Estee Nack and Sadhugold album it’s his best imo
Fly ish . Nack been long ago !!!
“Lynn Lynn the city of sin you never go out the way you go in
You ask for a water they’ll bring you gin
Where the girls say no yet they always give in” there’s even more to it but thats far as I can remember lol
New to channel and after 1 minute u get my like and sub. Did u do his latest project Stove Temple Pyrex?
I honestly found that I liked BRAP more than I liked nacksaw and that has a lot to do with the versatility there was on V dons album, nacksaw all sounds too similar and doesn’t let the wings on this record fully expand and go further! BRAP had so many styles and all of nacksaw was just dusty boom bap drums or drumless and it just got repetitive by the end of the record, was a solid attempt nonetheless
Such a banger
Ewonee is pronounced E-1 btw
10/10
Can you link your interview with Sam Buck (if it's out)? Thank you!
First time I heard estee was on tha god fahim "machinery" song....check that
Me too. He was goated from that day on.
I would say both of them are pretty equally to blame on it sounding so weird but probably more wsg.
Still a really good album
NACKMANDELA!! Coñooooooo!
This album had been on my most anticipated list since W$G announced tbh. 10/10
Estee Nack is insane he's from my city S/O to Lynn we it hea🙌🏿
Swiftz actually has quite a bit of history w/ Gunn n them.
Everyone sleeping on Brownlucci!
Dawg stop apologizing. Stop taking ownership of the past you weren’t guilty of.
Carribbeans arent crybabies who need sympathy and soft gloves, like some other crybabies milking white guilt in America.
You good. Be proud. Be you. Peace & blessings !
🔥🔥🔥
fuego
Knack???
BOŃOOOOO
We greselda fans have gotten spoiled
Not gonna lievthis alnums is great but where's the collabs w rome benny boldy & stove god that comes w all their projects
AVAA he’s talkin heroin when he says purina. This is one of the best projects to ever come out of the Griselda camp. Syphilis would be a fitting catch for Tucker Carlson. Utter descent into lunacy and self soiling.
still waiting for Herbert review By Ab-Soul
I’m Dominican and Puerto Rican and I hate aio by angel dior
His run-on flow and dynamism does give me a similar feeling to pun.
If you listen to the track Pecorino Romano from Al.Divino’s first solo album then you can see it feels like both of them took different pieces from his style and added their own parts to it
Love your content by the way. Don’t mind the ADHD babble and diatribes in response to your commentary.
Day 125 of Asking you to Review Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youth
Madlib keeps killing shit that’s in my sample library too! Dude has an ear.
I gotta disagree that the crack epidemic was an American failure. It was an American success, exactly what America wanted from and for the inner cities and the power dynamics of factions in the Central American political theater at the time it was unleashed. What they didn’t and couldn’t predict was the actors that would rise and fall in that region years after and poor Sarah from the ladies golf team and student govenment’s unfortunate descent into addiction and prostitution.
Stop it 🛑 ✋️ 🙅♂️
Dude get to reviewing the album good god
I think it was a little boring. Too many songs withiut drums
ADHD 💊💊💊💊
He on some good beats but his flow sucks
