ohhh that's my favorite! i can't look at mario 1 without having flashbacks to my basement/toy room. a lot of mario, duck hunt, tetris and some Bonk's Adventure on TurboGraphix 16!!!!
First, I agree w/ Frost. I think the song's good for the game, but I would be disappointed to hear the track on a full CD. War is Necessary, but Nas doesn't really address the issue of war (street wars or world wars). So, I'm kinda "meh" on the overall feel of the track.
Second, I love the Mario theme... especially the dungeon
i'm really enjoying it. one of my writer friends in boston sent it to me a few weeks ago and i haven't been able to put it down. i lived there for a couple years so having local knowledge helps you get more out of it. what are you reading these days?
I like it. Exactly the type of music I want to listen to when I'm stealing cars, gunnin' down the pigs and drive-by'ing the hoes. ahem in the game of course. great game, great song(hence my not being as active lately.... damn you GTA4 )
i like. is it just on the soundtrack, or is he putting it on a new album?
glad you like it, sam. I think it's a track exclusive to the soundtrack. who knows when his new album will be out but hopefully soon!
Mann! that beat is Hot. Nas is awesome!!! A true MC!!!
Not feeling this track... I have the classic complaints nas usually receives from fans.
The hook is wack, and the production is blah. sometimes his lyrics are enough to overcome that, but not in this instance.
It got a Made You Look vibe to it, but everything dialed down a notch or two. It's always good to hear the flow though.
We have come a long way from what video soundtracks use to be.

I was going to say something about the track, but that mario is just so mesmerizing. Nintendo did so much for music...
the Tetris song is proof enough of that.
