Okay, Okay, I went to Best Buy the other day and found both Illmatic and Stillmatic for 4.99. Big mistake in not buying them. I also found a copy of Attention Deficit. I was like "wtf?". Anyways, they weren't carrying any Frank Ocean Channel Orange for some reason so I bought Life Is Good and Live From The Underground. Why is nobody talking about Big Krit? I honestly think dude is one of the MOST underrated artists in the game. That's just my opinion. Live From The Underground is NOT his best work but it IS solidly structured and the beats are probably his best.
As for the Nas album, I didn't have any problem with the beat selection or hooks, but that may be just me. I also thought the entire album was ****in' NASTY (pun intended) my only problem was having Miguel on Summer On Smash. Me and my home slice were listening to it and then we heard Miguel Ying Yang rappin and singing and we were like wtf is going on? I got the deluxe addition which also provides Nasty, Black Bond, Roses, and Wheres the Love.
I definitely have my summer music lineup ready. Now I'm just waiting for Slaughterhouse and Lupe to drop their albums!!!
