Just a wet one? What about a dry one?

Any fart really.

I'll take Jigga/Ye over Nas/Preemo. And it's more because of the amount of great stuff that Ye has produced for Jay (and not because I think Ye is a better producer than Preemo). Because of Illmatic, people have a strong association between Nas/Preemo, but in reality, Preemo didn't produce many tracks for Nas past his debut. 5 or 6 more maybe? Oddly, one of my favorite collabs between them was from Nas's most critically panned album:

I guess if I put it another way, I think Kanye's beats fit Jay a lot better than Preemo's beats do (at least post-2000s Jay) and Preemo's beats fit Nas a lot better than Kanye's beats do. It should be exciting to see if Nas and Preemo can live up to the inevitable hype their collab album will bring.

The shittest album Nas put out in over a decade, maybe even since Nastradamus, was the one Kanye produced.

Yeah I agree. At least it was mercifully short.

Whitney Houston killed this rendition. Gets me all swelled with emotion, ready to say awful things about the British monarchy.

EDIT: To your point, most renditions probably do suck.

The suckiness of the Norwegian national anthem supports this statement 🇳🇴

England doesn't have one but if we did it'd be Jerusalem. What do you think of that? Even @Trollheart likes Jerusalem.

When we met up in Dublin he even stood up and started belting it out at the top of his voice.

England may not have one, but the UK does and it's terrible.

GSTK is shit but Jerusalem is actually a very good song.
