We in Manhattan Beach Recording previewing D.KING project.

70’s music had Isley Brothers Stevie Wonder Teddy Pendergrass David Bowie Sly and the Family Stone Curtis Mayfield Marvin Gaye Black Sabbath Pink Floyd Gil Scott-Heron Bob Marley Aretha Franklin Prince and Michael Jackson just started coming on the scene as rookies

Hot take :usher one my favorites but this “folded” might b better than “Confessions “…bars bridge and the end definitely

Thankful that this album I got is the most dense CATCHY debut album ever in rap

Hip Hop has given casuals too big of an importance

If you studied music theory & you don’t make beats better than a nigga doing simple sample loops then you lost..

“This is ghetto cnn why battle a n*gga ,when I got tea ☕️on reality n*gga ,hold up”

Bout to spin that Nas & DJ Premier again

Wow. It's like Nas & Premo made this specifically for me. This joint is a retarded return to the essence. Did Nas make Premo pull out old beats from the vault, cause you got some golden era Premo all over this. My head fell off like 7 times🤯! Amazing work, off one listen, Jesus

Hip hop fans are never satisfied . Everybody wanna push a narrative . You wanted boom bap now you wanna complain smh . This is why artist should never listen to Fans . This how they ruin Canibus career Nasir Jones is the GOAT argue with your momma .

Nas may love hip hop more than any other rapper on the planet… writers, bouquet, UBR, where are they now, carry on tradition etc dude bleeds this shit 🫡

Low It actually sounds like Nas and Preem was just having a lot of fun to me. You can feel the happiness in Preem sound and Nas voice and flow. That's what I got from it on my second listen. I caught myself smiling the whole time listening to it.

I hope all those age shaming hip hop heads erased those tweets from ten years ago saying rappers washed up at 30,40 when the tew best rappers on earf is 53 lol

This true too …album is great but ppl act like preem the only man nas know .when world is yours just as defining as any nas song

Debating Hip-Hop But that’s the point. The album is a reflection on the roots of hip-hop culture, so they used vintage production and writing. It wouldn’t make sense to use modern beats for a project like this. They understood the assignment.

Funniest thing in rap to see this decade is all the ppl I respect media and otherwise act like Nas ain’t rapping better than any mainstream rapper on earf right now

Love asap album n Punk Rocky is 730

Rocky did 200 k with no radio ,tik tok song or fans in the hood cuz niggas n b*tches all rap now n can’t be fans lol

Burden in my hand “ on repeat Chris Cornell forever .Can’t AI vocals like that

Love how the TL collectively is recognizing perfection rn
