Never trust what you are told and always follow your heart. Never judge a man until you walked in his shoes. Too many backseat drivers now a days, if you have a problem get in the game and fix it. Nothing worse then wasted talent or regrets.
@Streetztalkin1 cormega robbed his chain after he was knocked unconscious...and nas ended up beefing him as well.......cormega - fuck nature & nas.......nas - destroy and rebuild....they all started beefing each other and nature totally fell off
Classic Clue freeystle joint!! You got to give it to Nature, not too many other mc's were holding their weight against Nas during this era. Both of this dudes are so ill.
"Fuck it for now/profile playin these corners/pumpin base/chasin papers while peepin for jake informants/escapin warrants/they had my face in the Post"
Can someone please explain to me how Nature used to be so fucking nice and now he is pure trash. I heard some of his new shit and was shocked at how garbage he is. Back in this time he rapped like Nas's twin. WOW!
yEah, maybe. Because during this time he sounded like he was top 5 of all time material, even sharper than nas at times. It's like damn son, everything was all good just a week ago..lol
this freestyle always left me craving for more, like a crackhead would want more rocks!!!in other words i always wanted this freestyle to be like two hours long!!!the first day when this came out i must listened to it 1000 times!!!!
I think that rappers of the 90's put the ladder to high for the NEW SCHOOL rappers od today because nobody spits like this anymore!!This era was very blessedand talented!!Down south rappers are getting known for dancing and it seems that now dance music a epidemic in rap now..technology is messing up music in general, and record execs are signing bad artists and they are controlling the artists minds!!
For the execs, it's more quantity over quality lol, it's sad for real, cause they sign many one hit wonder artist make money off of the ringtones and singles and throw them away, hip-hop is in alot of trouble if something is not done.
One key ingredient is that MC's would put their pride in the rhymes. Dudes really put thought into it and developed an art. NIggaz today don't give a fahk and thats why they are wack.
The flow on this is simply mind boggling. Nature, Nas, AZ straight superhuman back then. I think niggas back then got taught how to rap in the pyramids or some shit.
The Firm Album was insane the most impressive thing looking back was how even the unknowns killed their tracks "Firm All Star" from Foxy Brown's brother and "Untouchable" were 2 of the best songs on the Album
The cd was o.k. there were great tracks on it but too many filler tracks there were 7 real hot tracks and 18 total on the album that was considered a disappointment back then. Nowadays it might be a classic though.
I think the firm was on rap steroids back then. It makes no sense to have Nas, AZ, Cormega and Nature straight murdering beats like that. Probably best lyrical crew ever.
They ghostwrote Foxy's tracks though. Cormega is still dope. I hate..no..resent..rap after '96. It went straight up pop. Everyone started getting hooked up four bar garbage, or completely started watering down their rhymes. Even w/ Cormega using the four bar style, his 2004 album was dope. He used some cool rhyme patterns.
nature was the compliment to AZ in regards to NAS. But not better than Nas. Nas is like magic or jordan. Nature at that time was like pippen or dumars.
nature was a beast back in 96-98, better than Nas. but then when his album came out in 98 i think it was, his lyrics weren't nearly good as they were on the firm album and these mix tapes.
I think his album came out in 2000, may be mistaken though. But fuck yeah, you're right, his wordplay was exceptional. I've always shot straight to the nature tracks on mixtapes. Shit, rap hasn't been the same since. Everybody fell off.
well, not overall. nature could have nevermade an "undying love" or "i gave you power", Nas obviously is the more polished mc. but lyrically, nature WAS better, during the firm days. but when his first album dropped not so much.
I can't understand why some people hated on Nature. He killed dis freestyle. Its hard to blow Nas off a track as a guest artist but Nature came close. Nas is still a god
it's war now days, ain't nothing change since my child days, ducking str8 shots, mad cops, you know the foul play loose rock, couting dice, no cars, but mountian bikes!!!!!! ahaha this dude is nuts!!!!!!!!!! word play is sick!!!!
These niggas straight Olympic dived in this track and swam laps.
