telling a simple ass story in reverse is not impressive. Especially from an artist who is known for extraordinary storytellin songs. We need to rethink how we see "Rewind"... its ga'bage.

no but the fact that you are still thinking about a track that wasn't even a single on an album from 7 years ago is impressive. :yes:

Nas goes much more deep and vivid in other songs... he paints pictures you can actually see. In rewind he sacrificed vivid images for telling it backwards... innovative, but not dope.
"go he there..." :smh:

It was simple enough as so it would still be enjoyable given the concept...if it was some elaborate super complex story with minute details the sh!t would damn near unlistenable...as is, I think it was executed perfectly for what it was meant to be...

close thread...this wasn't a "make you think real hard track" it's almost like he doesn't want you to know it's really a story, even if he's clearly saying it is, by the time you realize it's a "concept" joint, you already boppin ya head to the beat and groovin...you can't say that about most nas songs, therefore i think it served it's purpose, and was written how it was for a reason
great records don't have to be complex...to be great, listen to lupe's "real", the way he WROTE the song, for a specific purpose, is brilliant, even if it's not his most lyrically dense offering
