it ain’t wack but it’s not how I want the album to sound at all. even preme knows it And understands it. We shall see
I just gave it a fresh listen. I'm not a music guy, I don't know the terms, but it seems like it's missing a layer or something. It felt like the skeleton of a dope song but never quite got there.

Anyway, 5 days and 3 hours away...not that I'm counting.

Heh. We'd miss out on so many classic albums if we just went by perceived demand.

Not demand because of popularity.

I just don’t think Nas would make better music with Madlib. He wants to work with Primo for a reason. More than sure that if he felt he'd make classics with other people, he'd be doing albums with them too. Madlib just ain't a viable choice.

lol... Hit Boy hate is real. Verses were good but the flow was slightly off and the beat has no knock at all.

It's not supposed to knock.

We can't take an unreleased demo and use that as an example of how an album would or wouldn't sound.

I don't think Madlib is on Nas' radar but Madvillainy, Bandana, and Pinata are 3 of my favorite produced albums ever. If him and Nas linked the it would no doubt be one of his best albums.

To my knowledge Nas’s work with Madlib was for his possible inclusion on Black Star’s No Fear of Time. He did 2-3 verses for different songs and when he didn’t end up on the album for whatever reason he repurposed the verses for songs on Kings Disease 1.

I always felt, after hearing the leaks that the verses were better served on Kings Disease. Madlib is dope but Madlib is notoriously absent-minded and has issues with remembering the samples he uses, and that very issue delayed the Black Star album by at least a year because he had to go back and research the records he sampled. Nas ain’t going for none of that bullshyt, especially at this point in his career.

Damn... always thought the artists moaning about the fans was some sour puss shyt cause theyre fickle, dont buy the albums, dont really show love at concerts etc was more of an excuse for falling off, creative decline


But reading through the last FEW pages and seeing all these desires for Nas to work with anybody else except the producers he actually works with is some mindfukk shyt

The main reason he is putting out an album with Premier is his HISTORICAL MUSICAL rapport with him, they created MONUMENTAL HIP HOP together

He does not have this track record with anybody else not Pete Rock, not Alchemist, not Madlib, not Dr.Dre, not RZA, not QTip, not Hit boy, not Kanye, not nothing...

Fans are fukking crazy man...

Having said all that hope NaS goes deeper in his subject matter bag than the qb veteran stories from the hitboy run, would love something similar to the I Am, Stillmatic, God's son times

Personally will try to enjoy THIS ONE and not worry about the next next imaginary album...
