"What if Nas dropped a fully El-P produced album?"


  

          

Ever since the Mass Appeal deal, that's been on my mind.

That seemed to be everyone's least favorite record on that album, but it was cool with me.

I'd much rather hear Pharoahe Monche over El-P beats than Nas. Not due to backpacker-ish feelings in that I feel Pharoahe Monche is that much better than Nas, but I think Monche's flows mesh better sonically with El-P than Nas' smoother flows does.

But that could just be my perspective.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder was pretty solid IMO, but I do agree with you in terms of his solo material. And I think the chaotic nature of the majority of El-P's beats would mesh Monche's multi-upon-multi-syllabic flow perfectly.

Stress is one of my favorite albums of all time, regardless of genre, but to be honest outside of Desire and of course his debut, his solo efforts haven't REALLY moved me, though I will say that his latest was better than WAR, which in particular for me was a very disappointing album

because that shit would be fire, El-P is a producer who knows how to adjust his style to suit the MCs he works with, while at the same time somehow keeping it sounding "El-Pish"

and taking into account that Nas is my favorite MC ever and his last album was flames....

Nas is that brother, but to be honest, just don't think he would be bold enough to do it...

El P is more on the abrasive tip.

I feel like you guys are selling both Nas and El-P short in saying it wouldn't work.

I think El-P would tailor his beats a bit for Nas

And Nas sounds great over shit like Nasty so I can see it working even if it wouldn't be my first choice for Nas.
