I forgot to mention 'Ether' and the Jay/Nas beef – my wife and I (not me and my bitch) were going to do a reaction to 'Ether' together, but then we started to learn about the massive rabbit hole that opens up, so we decided against it due to a lack of time. We'd like to experience the beef properly with context so we can fully enjoy the tracks, not like how we misunderstood half of what was being said between Drake and Pusha.
The fact that izzo was bobs least favorite song off this album says a lot about the album because it’s so incredibly good, also the blueprint 3 is such a classic and the black album aswell
Hey Bob now that you have the Blueprint under your belt revisit Last Call by Kanye from College Dropout again. Lot of Blueprint references you’ll enjoy.
suggestion: Yes Lawd! album by NxWorries
REACT TO THE WEEKND!!!!!!
Drake is a clown but I can't lie IYRTITL has got some bangers, looking forward to the reaction
You have to hear Nas response to “take over” Nas-Ether !!! Please !
You can say Ninja 🥷
You’ve probably been recommended this before, but you must listen to the mixtape LIVE LOVE A$AP, asap.
We need you to continue your journey with nas music. His second album it was written is even better than illmatic. He's got a bunch of stuff for you like stillmatic, the lost tapes, gods son ect.
Nas still delivers quality music to this day which is impressive considering he turns 50 years old this year and is in the game since 1991
If you haven't heard Bad Meets Evil that would be a good way to get more Eminem on the channel
Magna Carta, American Gangster, Black Album = Masterpieces
You need to watch Jay z perform takeover at summer jam. There’s a whole additional verse where he disses mobb deep and shows a picture of one of them in a ballerina class. One of the most ruthless beef moments in hip hop. And then mentions it on the album version of the song
🥞
faces by mac? maybe? its his birthday soon
For me vol 2 or 3 is one of my favorites.But then again the Blueprint 2 is really good as well
Yeah the next JAY-Z album you should react to should be either The Black Album, American Gangster, or 4:44.
You and your wife should check out Jay Z MTV unplugged, not even for the stream. I think you will enjoy.
You gotta do Stillmatic as a follow up. Trust me sir.
Either!!!!!!!!!
Just to clear something up, it's "Serchlight" (pronounced search-light) as in MC Serch from 3rd base. MC Search did Nas' publishing deal for 'Illmatic'.
-If remember correctly the Lyrical Exercise and Girls Girls Girls 2 were bonus tracks on the CD as well… at the same time, I got the album when it first came out… so it may have been different on later releases of it
– Yeah, I hate when people only think something is a good because it was a hit…. lol… good for that song… I DON'T LIKE IT
