Video: Lauryn Hill Interview w/ MTV News Pt. 2
Lauryn talks about her “jazz-like” live shows to MTV. I had to watch some footage before posting it and can tell you, as someone who knows The Fugees catalog inside-out, that shit was hot-trash. She chalks it up to spontaneity and improvisation. Yeah, no shit.

^The clipse is top 5 hip hop/rap duo ever…..i’d put them up there with mobb deep and outkast and cnn’
Ughhh…Another soul lost
Had to make a shirt match my ox blood colored Porsche
Ughhh…The rims match of course
Blood hit his Timbs it reminded me of them
Glistenin’ wrist on chiller
Gun in the same palm of gorgeous killer
I put this on my lord my niece was 4 when she felt chinchilla
I past the shore for that shit that made fiends rise from the dead like
Thriller
Gangster…Hustler
At night still found time to kiss my mother
Live like I’m dreamin’ kick my feet up
Gun pulled my waist remind me of my demon
So quite ya yappin’ fore I get to clappin

^Is this the greatest hip hop/rap beat ever?
This was when Pharrell was better than Dr. Dre.
^^^^
I think if you gon talk about beats by neptunes, the “Black Magic” beat was their best….
I wonder how much money Jay had to pay for that shit….That shit is WAYYYYYY underated….
^You mean blue magic or blakc magic?
August 31st, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Lost tapes are just all the songs that leaked from I Am (which was supposed to be the death and rebirth of Nas I AM/Nastradamus). Lil Homie, instead of simply dropping his shit as it was, scraps all the AMAZING tracks and releases Hate Me Now and the musical abortion known as Nastradamus.

my thing is, if this is now common knowledge then why do people still take this negative stance against Nas and his catalog?
obviously he could have delivered, and he did eventually, so whats the problem?

August 31st, 2010 at 2:37 pm
People are building this thing up wayyyyyyyy to much! Lauryn hasn’t lost her talent, her voice, or her MC’in skills… BUT… her decision to use that live band was a very bad decision! They sped the tempo of her songs up to the point you couldn’t recognize what she was performing, and she did sound forced… She’ll be alright… At least the likeliness of her doing another Solo is looking more realistic. And the album won’t sound anything like these performances.

Flawless Nas Verse
One for the money
Two for pussy and foreign cars
Three for Alize niggas deceased or behind bars
I rap divine Gods check the prognosis, is it real or showbiz?
My window faces shootouts, drug overdoses
Live amongst no roses, only the drama, for real
A nickel-plate is my fate, my medicine is the ganja
Here’s my basis, my razor embraces, many faces
Your telephone blowing, black stitches or fat shoelaces
Peoples are petrol, dramatic automatic four-four I let blow
and back down po-po when I’m vexed so
my pen taps the paper then my brain’s blank
I see dark streets, hustling brothers who keep the same rank
Pumping for something, some uprise, plus some fail
Judges hanging niggas, uncorrect bails, for direct sales
My intellect prevails from a hanging cross with nails
I reinforce the frail, with lyrics that’s real
Word to Christ, a disciple of streets, trifle on beats
I decipher prophecies through a mic and say peace.
I hung around the older crews while they sling smack to dingbats
They spoke of Fat Cat, that nigga’s name made bell rings, black
Some fiends scream, about Supreme Team, a Jamaica Queens thing
Uptown was Alpo, son, heard he was kingpin, yo
Fuck “rap is real”, watch the herbs stand still
Never talking to snakes ’cause the words of man kill
True in the game, as long as blood is blue in my veins
I pour my Heineken brew to my deceased crew on memory lane
August 31st, 2010 at 2:38 pm

August 31st, 2010 at 2:40 pm
Nas’ lyrics more than suffice for any lack of beats. Homie can shit on any rapper with an accapella album,FACT.
I don’t subscribe to the beat argument to the point to say he did wack shit,my beef with Nastradamus was that it was all over the place. The lyrics are forever on point.

^^^^^^^^^
i thought the story of the “Lost Tapes” were scrapped Iam & Stillmatic songs which contained samples that weren’t able to be cleared by the label and the original artist
hence the beat for “No Idea Original” being changed on the album version
August 31st, 2010 at 2:44 pm

Sizzle! I always tell people, how different things would be if he made the production choices that the majority of fans would have wanted him to make in terms of public perception… Yet his lyricism, story telling, writing songs, changing up flows, concepts, MAKING ALBUMS!! is what is so dope about him…. and Nastradamus had gems on there, it just had shit like Big Girl that was like WOAH son, stop playin, LOL….

I cant choose.
Ready to Die v. Illmatic v. Reaz Doubt. All certified classics in my opinion. I think its impossible to say one is better than the other Those are my top albums then of course you got 36 Chamber, Ob4cl. Man nothin like them years. I feel bad for the ppl who missed that era. CNN, down to Jeru i mean the list goes on NY def had shit on lock…..then what happened?

Jay electronica didnt have a club banger, but he dropped a song that mattered, my question is what is the last song that nas dropped that mattered to hip hop fans on an internet level or street level, when is the last time nas had a song and other mcs jumped on it and tried to freestyle against it, as far as political stuff, when is the last time nas spit sumthin that u did not already know, people swear nas drops gems, but what in his music about race relations or whatever did you already not know.

I know everytime Nas drops I’m getting something dope… And when this new LP drops… watch you will get something EPIC pimp!
