I wanted to open a place here in comments to talk about my controversial take that "Nas is overrated." First of all, that is not actually an insult. I think that a lot of awesome things are overrated. Here are two more examples: Bacon and Quentin Tarantino. I love BLTs and Pulp Fiction probably more than most people. Still, I think that people overrate them. Nas is similar. He has a lot of great albums and KD2 is definitely one of them. I just don't think that he is "top 5" material. I don't think that it is out of the question and if you think he is "top 5" I'd think you had good reasons. For me, his voice and flow are not engaging enough. Thats it. I think that we are blessed to have him still making good albums so late into his career and that he has never really lost it.
But please let me know why I'm wrong! I'm totally open to counterpoint. Just know that there is no hate here, but perhaps a love that is overly critical.
No, u said something stupid and out of line. We not trying to hear it, sir. Stop listening to hiphop, this is our culture and ur take was disrespectful. Nas not top 5 , but I bet em is, right. People like u is the reason why em will never get his true credit.
Nha stop making excuses guy you should not have said that in the first place Nas is underrated if anything and is always judged differently from other rappers as a long time fan I have made peace with that as it is what it is we the fans love and respect him and appreciate him it’s all good that y’all can have a channel and disrespect a God MC that has done it all…we know who he is and he is dope as fuck🔥🔥🔥
there's nothing to discuss.
Saying Nas is overrated, only shows ignorance of hiphop history and how we judge quality.
Its like saying "Halloween" is overrated inthe slasher genre.
Has anyone forgot that this guy is like 50? Hahaha put it this way, he is the top 40 year old rapper
You’re wrong because he was the best in an era where there were killer rappers. He has also pretty much done it all as an emcee and has hit all ceilings.
Nas is my favorite rapper! Hit like my ppl!👍🏾
This is literally the 2nd video of yours I’ve watched. The first was the Kanye Donda performance . I’m a 33 yr old black man from south central Los Angeles. Let me just say the way you articulate your perspective is gold. Whatever your doing keep doing it. It feels like I know you personally and that’s power. Peace and Love for art…..
Escobar season begins is a line that Nas has said for decades. There is a freestyle from '96 where he says it. Just kind of one of his sayings, same with God's son across the belly (which he literally has a tattoo of on his stomach). Great review!
YOU THINK NAS IS OVERRATED? WOW, I GUESS YOU WASN'T LISTENING TO NAS FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS
"Brunch on Sundays". Wow. What a unique, and accurate, insight. Perfect.
A lot of people state Nas as their favorite rapper, e.g. J. Cole and Lupe Fiasco who are good MCs themselves.
Also schoolboy q, the game, nore ....
Would love to hear your thoughts on both Isaiah Rashads album as well as the backlash to Fantano’s review from the TDE camp. I just think it would make for a great analysis video!
I’m blk, and I hate Fantano. He’s a culture vulture. But God forbid you say this online, you’ll have his army of racist fans attack and dox you into oblivion
@@dfwherbie8814 bro what? He's literally a socialist, idk where you got this idea from...
@@dfwherbie8814 I view him more as just another grifter profiteering with either controversy or saying want people what to hear but yeah, we're in the same boat
I’m a much happier music fan after I unsubbed from Melon‘s main channel and that’s coming from a long long long time fan…he has good reviews but he just objectively wrong a lot of the time and his fan base has become a toxic adolescent plebeian hive mind, I honestly only watch his reviews when he’s promoting an avant-grade or experimental artist but that’s it
@@morningowl43 Yet these people would never give DeadEndHipHop love. Of course, blk people never get supported for creating content in blk art. I should make a RUclips channel and review the literary canon and express how I think Woolf and Proust are massively overrated. That’d be great. At least I would know what I’m talking about, unlike these yts online
I enjoyed your review of the album BUT I never heard Nas being called an overrated MC/rapper, even from those who are on the Jay-Z camp, they just simply hate on him but admit his well deserved place as great MC
He hasn’t dropped a classic since ‘94.
@@willpower3317 that's a really dumb take. Sounds like someone who really doesn't listen to Nas. Which is fine. Just say that.
@@willpower3317 it was written, stillmatic and gods son are all classics.
If Nas has only one classic then NO ONE has a classic album.
Alfredo should have won that Grammy 😭 but it is what it is…this album is amazing though and what a great review 🔥
A album talking about selling cocaine should have won the Grammy....ur correct smh
@Cold As The Poles that’s a very bad opinion 🤷🏾♂️
@Cold As The Poles yes, we’re in the golden age of producers so for me production matters
Alfredo wasn't it chief sry
The best channel on for sure!! This album for sure should've received a Grammy not King's Disease 1
Review the new Lingua Ignota record!
Very thorough review. I liked the last few 16-32 bars from Em esp when he said he texted 50 cent cuz he don’t know when life takes you, before I felt he wasn’t making any freaking sense
You should review the new hippo campus EP!
Oh also the bucket hat goes hard, looking fly skye 😮💨
I appreciate you skye
This is a classic for the Era of hip hop we are in today. It’s a shame that a lot of people might not see that possibly until 20 years later when people might review hip hop in this time line and say which rap album did you love.
This album will definitely stand the test of time . Hit boy did an amazing job modernising some of the jazzy soulful beats to fit this era of hip , also giving him beats that Nas wouldn’t possibly rap over .
Beats like 40side with that vibe of vibe but changing it up to fit Nas taste & YKTV with collaborations you wouldn’t thing Nas would like to collaborate with & and with a beat that would see playing in hip hop in terms of what we here today
So overall to me apart from the EMPD track I wasn’t too much feeling the album it’s a classic & to here Nas say on Apple Music that the next project with Hit Boy might be magical because of there connection with one another makes me excited for there next project
Who is on your top 5?
Yooo this album was slept on cause of Kanyes non release for sure.
The line "Don't nobody owe you, ain't nobody holding you back" most likely refers to the unfair expectation of that a well off black man (especially black celebrity) has a responsibility to be a good example, uplift his community and help others make a way for themselves. Although it is a noble deed, celebrities of other races aren't pressured like the black celebrity, historically and currently. It sounds political because the community looks to be saved by celebrities more than actual politicians.
You 100% don't pull off the bucket hat, but that's why you should wear it. LOL.
Nas also has a song with Jay z called Black Republicans! Just to add more insight on your theory of him being conservative
But in that song is Jay who says Black republican, nas comes out and says black militant taking over the government, Nas is definitely more conservative now as all people get when they age and are worth half a billion
@@julioinfanteramos6535 exactly! Can't be mad at it
@@julioinfanteramos6535 nas has always had liberal and.conservative views as most blacks depending on the situation & circumstance
NaS is my favorite rapper! I have all his albums and know them intimately.
Nobody Holding you back means you are the foot, not the back. The resistance is one sided.
Lol 'oooh weee!'
Man how can one think Nas is overrated, that is crazy!
Just because sounds smart That doesn't mean he is so
@@1758game who Nas?
@@dappoabdul5955 look up rap 🐐
@@1758game I’m lost lol who are you talking about
@@dappoabdul5955 nas who alse you said how can this guy say that nas is over rated
Great video pls review isaiah rashad's the house is burning
Yes, especially if he talks about Isaiah Rashad's criticism of Fantano.
@@traplover6357 him and IDK so corny for that. Fantano is the only adult between them. "Lets go live and have a real conversation about this, because I'm tired of talking about stuff like this over Twitter." No response, everytime.

actually, the latest response I've seen from Isaiah
was pretty well-thought-out
(maybe, whole TDE has helped him spell it out -
but still, ha-ha)

Professor Skye's Wife's Pea Soup Review When?
I don’t know how you can call NaS overrated as a rapper. Read the It Was Written lyrics as you listen to the album. Gods work.
Well in regards to the ice, he used to rock a gold chain, about it. He speak on going big like millions of dollars on a chain and "iced out" he threw his money into intangibles. So he he talks about having money, but he was just saying he didnt need ice then to be dope
Stretch who is also one of the hardest rappers of all time who no one knows about. Look up live squad seriously overlooked group.
For you to say “I Am” is a great album you must have listened to it several times; how then do you not remember Puffy saying Escobar season has returned at the beginning of the biggest single from that album, “Hate Me Now”??
I won’t even get into the blasphemy of “I Am” or many other Nas albums being better than “Illmatic”!
I know its blasphemous, but I can't help but feeling how I feel. :) (I also think that Reasonable Doubt is not one of Jay-Z's best albums, which will similarly annoy people!)
This is the best album of the year (so far).
Pray For Haiti > KD2 (says way more about how good PFH is though!)
MIKE) bro
@@karimd88 Yeah sooooooooooooo much better than KD I, which I really didn't like.
@@RalphBarbagallo you just said it was AOTY?
@@karimd88 It is! KD II is so much better than KD I. That's what I'm responding to. Whether Pray for Haiti is better, well that's a matter of opinion. But I love KID II, so that's my pick.
Between this album and Tyler's call me if you get lost one of them winning a Grammy...Another one!
You need to review the new Boldy James, you’ve been sleeping on him
True!!!
Looks like Dolph the movie star
"Nas is overrated" = I'm not familiar with Nas, i.e. u being confused about the gods son line. He has a tattoo of that phrase on his stomach in reference to himself as a Messiah figure.
Evaluating soul music from a mechanical standpoint, does you no justice.
This is about as uninformed an opinion as one can muster smh
Never has hip hop said nas is overrated. Every rapper has hits and misses, but as a lyricist and MC he is one of the greatest of all time. He has also inspired alot of other rappers during his era and the next gen. But I get it, it's a trend for ppl to get on this internet and say things for controversy or clicks!
Guy Nas is not overrated and Gods son a cross the belly is just a flex or a Nas line it needs not be calculated into and meaning Nas been dope respect and praise and give his his flowers 🌸
Did he say Nas isn't anyone fav rapper?? Wtf. Lmao. Nas, Jay, Pac, Big are the Mt rousmore of fans fav MC. He must live under a rock or pluto
It's possible to argue that It Was Written is better than Illmatic. But to say that any other album is better is frankly ridiculous. How long has it been since you listened to it?
I got into you from your Griselda reviews and I love them but I'm going to need you to explain how the hell Nas is in any way overrated. He's dropped multiple classic albums at the beginning and later in his career and was the bar by which all rappers were held to. Adapted through different eras of the genre and and has remained dope THE ENTIRE time! You're entitled to your opinion and I know you say you came up on Wu-Tang or whatever, but that shit is egregious.
I tried to explain myself in the pinned comment above. I see your perspective and think that you made the best case that I was overstating the "overrated" idea.
@@professorskye I appreciate the reply and the pinned comment provides some context. I guess the word “overrated” has such a negative connotation that I didn’t really give you a chance. Thanks for the perspective and I eagerly await your video of your top 5 emcees. I’ll add mine here now and see if we match up anywhere.
1.Ghostface Killah
2. Nas
3. Lupe Fiasco
4. Black Thought
5. Conway the Machine
Great review. I agree that Illmatic nis not his best album. I think "It Was Written" is his best.
Agreed.
Professor! Nas is not your favourite rapper but please don’t speak for the rest of us.
All the same though I do enjoy your reviews and your personal outlook.
You sound as if you became a hiphop fan when Em started rapping....
If you hear "God Son across the belly" and your brain doesn't automatically fill in the blank in the pause after, you have no business reviewing this album or hip-hop. That pause is the exact length for you to think "i prove you lost already" but hey keep teaching french
I couldn’t have said it any better!!!
Nas I no ones favorite rapper? I can see whos disconnected from.actual hip-hop fans
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT "GOD'S SON" MEANS? IT'S A SAYING A LOT OF ORIGINAL PPL SAY. IT MEANS THAT THE PPL ARE A DIRECT REFLECTION OF THE UNIVERSAL CREATOR
Wtf is a universal creator?
@Cold As The Poles ok but what is the universal creator?
@Cold As The Poles ok cool just wanted to make sure we on the same page
Undeserved Grammy… what in the oxymoronic statement is that? I like your channel but the troll is strong with you.
Nas is overrated?? I'm done
You said Nas is overrated, so disrespectful.
If you haven't listened to Nas albums then you shouldn't be reviewing his work with such strong statements that are wrong. Yes I know you may have heard his albums but you didn't actually listen to him based on things that you dont know that you should
Nas overrated? lol...wtf
Lol so nas is over Rated and Eminem is so good. Thanks for the reivew stand.
I probably should have said that I think that Eminem is overrated as well! As I said in my pinned comment, overrated is not necessarily an insult.
If anyone is overrated-and I agree that Nas is-it’s Hitboy.
Let me guess...lil Wayne and Eminem are your favorite rappers?😭😭
Proust is massively overrated
Best response ever!
@@professorskye because I highly doubt you’ve heard Illmatic or It Was Written. I highly doubt you’ve heard the song where Nas is rapping from the perspective of a gun or the song where he is rapping backwards, starting a story from its ending and ending at its beginning. Have you?
Ems verse was trash b
Nas overrated as a rapper?????????????
White guy trying to review our music, said NAS is overrated but em was really good. Yea ok, sir.
Dude your review is haterish
