If a legend such as Eric B says these things about you, then you know it's a wrap. People forget Eric B is a legend, a certified legend both in the music industry and in the streets. If he says these things about Nas, then you know Nas for real.
Your goat MC's GOAT MC is Rakim. The first MC to have his lyrics broken down in the Washington Post by people who didn't even like rap but admired the intricacies of his lyrics.
REST IN POWER COMBAT JACK.....I DON'T KNOW IF THE MASSES UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEANT TO THIS THING WE CALL THE CULTURE BUT I DEFINITELY DO. NUFF RESPECT TO YOU AND YOURS, I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM YOUR METHODS, EXPERTISE AND LOVE FOR THE GAME.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Life’s a butch but god forbid the bitch divorce me....I’ll be flooded wit ice so hell fire can’t scorch me......the greatest most influential MC of all time....he’s reinvented himself in every album and continues to mature....got his lyrics tatted on me.... the 🐐
NAS IS A FORCE FROM DAY ONE...SPECIAL ED YOUNG DUDE HE WAS COMING THROUGH WITH MAJOR BODY BLOWS WITH HIS LYRICS...I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPEN TO HIS CAREER...BUT SPECIAL WAS DEFINITELY READY. PEACE TO THE GREAT RAKIM THOUGH.
thanks for calling me idiot. Game has different features from the average Black man, his hair is not afro textured and his nose differs from the average Black person its less flat. He may be brown skinned but he is light, he isn't mixed but he looks like he is. For example Method Man is Light skinned but he is also fully Black and his features are like the average Black mans features where as the Game's isn't.
Yes great interview and much insight here but I have to say this...Illmatic, while great, was too short of an album to me. "The Genesis" was basically an intro/instrumental and "Halftime" had been out for about a year and a half by the time the album came out. So that leave 8 new songs. So yeah the album was superb but it was a bit too short, all in all. Thanks for posting this though.
Most albums at that time was only 10 -12 songs. Nobody was dropping material two, three -four times a year either so it kind of fit the profile. Not arguing your preferences but overkill ruins a classic to me. I loved Life Is Good but weed out 3-4 songs and that shit is a 5 mic joint. Ahhh lets say Accident Murderer, Black Bond and That radio shit with Miquel and Swiss beats and you got a monster! None of those songs are bad songs either I just think that less is more. To me Illmatic just like it is is perfect. I love Black Bond too, I just think its one that could have been cut." I pull the string on the lamp my shit darkens..." that shit is crazy how he went into that...
Reginald Leak Can't argue with any of that my friend. Thanks for the reply. Hopefully truskool hip hop will go back to releases with an emphasis on quality/originality over quantity.

He may be brown skinned but he is light, he isn't mixed but he looks like he is. For example Method Man is Light skinned but he is also fully Black and his features are like the average Black mans features where as the Game's isn't.

Marvin Bennett
Not as many by '94 but I hear you.
also around that time a lot of albums had at least 3 to 4 skits or little interludes which made a album seem longer that what they were.
Most albums at that time was only 10 -12 songs. Nobody was dropping material two, three -four times a year either so it kind of fit the profile. Not arguing your preferences but overkill ruins a classic to me. I loved Life Is Good but weed out 3-4 songs and that shit is a 5 mic joint.
