    Default No RZA on Nas' "Life is Good"

    Damn, I really was hoping RZA to be on the album since RZA said nas took 10 beats and since Nas has been killin it lately.

    Are you really THAT surprised? Usually when RZA tries to "contribute" to any album his beats never usually make the final cut. Wait until Ludacris & Busta Rhymes end up not using his work either because he dropped off productions to them as well.

    I mean yea i wasn't that surprised but since Kanye used rza and that was successful, (and nas and Ye are on def jam) so i thought Nas would follow suit and nas said he trying to go back to that 90's feel

    kanye doctored the shit out of those Rza beats he kept. either he charged too much for his beats or those shits were wack. could be a combination of both.

    Didn't he give them out for free?

    Anyway..the last collab nas did with a wu member was Rich and Black...and that was fucking stupid. So i don't care much. Even if RZA gave him a dope beat, i wouldn't want it ruined by some dumb shit like that.

    Rich and black? Are they fucking serious.

    the beat at the end of Rich and Black was the best and the most 'Wu' beat off Shaolin vs Wu Tang, and it was a 30 sec fuckin instrumental

    smh

    that is true, he did give a bunch of his stash away free of charge so you can garauntee those shits were weak which is why they didnt use any of it.

    maybe they didn't fit the album. i find the idea that hes sitting on all his best beats for wu stuff and giving away air biscuits to unworthies like nas appealing though

    Verbal Intercourse

    Through the lights cameras and action, glamour glitters and gold
    I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe
    When I'm deceased, by then the beast arise like yeast
    To conquer peace leaving savages to roam in the streets
    Live on the run, police paying me to give in my gun
    Trick my wisdom with the system that imprisoned my son
    Smoke a gold leaf I hold heat, nonchalantly
    I'm raunchy, the things I do is real it never haunts me
    While, funny style niggas roll in the pile
    Rooster heads profile on a bus to Riker's Isle
    Holding weed inside they pussy with they minds on the pretty things in life
    Props is a true thug's wife
    It's like a cycle, niggas come home, some'll go in
    Do a bullet, come back, do the same shit again
    From the womb to the tomb, presume the unpredictable
    Guns salute life, rapidly, that's the ritual


    vs

    Rich and Black

    Rare nigga, I'm a wonder
    Your best success is my worst blunder
    Feds tap the number
    Jewelry Jacqueline Onassis could appreciate, weed to alleviate the pain
    Eddie Kane, Richard Pryor pinky ring
    Watch your conduct nigga
    Throw parties for my niggas that’s living, you guessed it
    Models ya’ll keep them if they anorexic
    Love them but can’t trust them
    Hate them but won’t bust them
    Caking in savings, spending, wasting, it's like a custom
    Tats are hieroglyphics, lipstick on the collar
    I got more to lose than you do, but I’m a rider
    When did the rules change?
    Y’all living trendy on pennies
    Meeting deadlines with ease no game
    You fire? I'm butane, Gator Timbs, ostrich belts
    These be the times that I surprise myself
    My niggas looking like black crows and pack shows
    The Don voice stay pristine like I'm still 17

    bahahahahhahaha


    not even gonna post rae's wack content on rich and black here. That wackness above is all you need.

    "Jewelry Jacqueline Onassis could appreciate"

    She was a Kennedy, a First Lady.

    He has jewelry she could appreciate. That says something about his classiness and fine taste. It's not some sleazy, shameful jewelry like other rappers have.

    "pure speculation"

    No not necessarily. Kanye did the same thing to RZA's beat on "Dark Fantasy" when he added that faggot chorus

    Im sure the beats he gave NaS were bangers since he gave fucking Talib some heat... like somebody already stated it just didnt fit his concept Dude has Preemo PR and LP giving him beats for every project so its surely about commercial viability to some degree
