DUBCC - Tha Connection > Outbound Connection
People unfairly hate on Nas' It Was Written..........
Don Seer:
yeah teecee is on point.. to be honest it too me a while to get into illmatic at first, because of the beats. same with ready to die.. now i appreciate them both.
i always liked it was writted "affirmative action" is tight as hell.. the tracks are a lot more polished/commerical on this album that on illmatic. even Dre drops a beat on here.. and i believe this is the start of Nas hooking up with trackmasters, IMO they produced the weaker tracks (but produced one or two nice ones.. so much its hit n miss..) (they also did the wack shit on the firm project.. arggggggg).
nas switched up on the themes he was covering too.. it was quite a diversion from illmatic.
Leggy Hendrix:
always felt this album, not as much as Illmatic but its still a classic imo.
Silent Murder is one of my faves from this cd
Kill:
i basically agree with what tecee said. I still don't like the way Nas went from his poetic street narrator style to tryina act 'gangsta' or whatever u wanna call that Nas Escobar shit, but i agree on the lyrics bein very strong on this album too. As for production IWW had ups ("The Message", "Affirmative Action") and downs ("Nas Is Coming", one of Dre's weakest tracks ever) IMO, but overall it was good too. IWW was a lot more radio friendly than his debut, but it wasn't a bad album at all, people just hate on it because of Illmatic
Young Dan Iza:
yeah i cant believe people hated on this album prolly cuz it was nuthin like illmatic, black girl lost is one of the best tracks nas ever did
smartass:
it deserves all the hate it gets, and if you were around when it was released, you would know why. the only thing improved on this album was flow. he went from pete rock to trackmasters, what an idiot. illmatic will always be his best album.
