Why is it Money?

How do you follow up what is considered the greatest rap album of all time?

Yet somehow, Nas was able to at least make something comparable to it. With every listen it grows on me, and it shows an older, wiser and fuller artist that expands on the content on his debut.

Starts very strong, maintains itself and just like Illmatic, it finishes strongly with the help of Lauryn Hill

Artist Focus

KRS-ONE

The one that they call teacher, and one of the first true rap superstars who had a huge impact on the genre.

From his skills on a track, in a battle, stage-presence, actualy freestyling, and his lyrics that made you think; he represents the essence of what being a rapper is about.

Just go back and listen to some of his best tracks and pay

From his skills on a track, in a battle, stage-presence, actualy freestyling, and his lyrics that made you think; he represents the essence of what being a rapper is about.

Just go back and listen to some of his best tracks and pay close attention to what he says. He does not mess around with meaningless words of bravado, but intelligently delivers his message in an effective way.

One of the true GOATS of rap.

Last Album HH Listened To

Logic | No Pressure

It's a good album. You cannot deny that. From the very good beats, the rapping, overall production quality, it's a realy good piece of work

But as soon as I finished it, I just didn't feel any desire to listen to it again. Which is weird after I just admitted that it's a quality album.

I guess I was just impressed from afar, but could not connect with it. Logic just didn't say anything interesting or insightful. However, the dude is talented and this is a great way to "retire"

A rapper retiring is a joke.

But yeah, if you like the technicality of rapping, I recommend. If you want something a bit deeper and artistic, you may feel unsatisfied after you've done listening to this.
