I said no offense and meant it.
You asked for a specific song RIGHT after he named a specific song ("Trillmatic" by A$AP Mob). It's just that by asking the question you showed that you wouldn't know a specific song anyway. Know what I mean?
Also, I know you love Game (he's like, one of the two hip hop artists you actually like and don't think is shit), but ... Game's been around forever, and he's doing great, but I kinda get the impression that you are only really into one kind of hip-hop, and it's a near 30-year old style, so I'm not sure you're much of an authority on what is or isn't influential or significant in genres hat aren't LA gangster rap from '88-'98.
Also, you're saying you can think of so many references to Nas right off the top of your head... from just one artist. That's a really persuasive argument AGAINST what Rob is saying.
I'm not on a high horse. But NR knows his hip hop. I've gone through his cd collection myself. It makes mine (the hip-hop section of mine) look like a one of those little children's libraries in the waiting room of a dentist's office, and I'm no slouch or yongblood either.
Really wasn't trying to be a dick. You've said yourself that you don't like much of anything that's new, and your taste in hip hop is by your own admission very limited. Nothing wrong with that, but it's probably best not to challenge someone like NR who's been collecting this shit obsessively -- from all over the spectrum of rap-- for a good 25+ years. *shrug*
