So my brehs, are we ready for an album of "Nas is Like" And "2nd Childhood" quality type tracks!? I hope so.

I want the album to have that Lost Tapes, Stillmatic, God's Son early 2000's vibe.

Take me back with hard hitting, nostalgic, boom bap beats
I have no idea why you are doing this to yourself

What's the difference between this thread and a Krispy Kreme factory?

I can remember Nas interview for KD 1, where he pretty much confirmed the Premo album. Same interview if I remember correctly he was happy seeing rapper like Royce praise the album.

Interview was done over zoom.
Yea that was with Torae. Great interview
Y'all trippin, I'd rather have a great Royce verse on the album than some of the bullshyt YG, Fivio Foreign, Lil Durk features Nas had on KD1 and 2.

IDK what the hell that was.
catered more to the younger generation. Nothing wrong with those features especially for the more modern untempo sound that hit boy provides. Ofcourse this album would be more of a Royce. Nas just has the ability to do both.

I listen to most music with Sennheiser HD800 Headphones with a custom equalizer or on Paradigm speakers. I can't imagine using laptop speakers to listen to an album :mjlol: Imagine dudes on here criticizing albums after hearing them on laptop speakers :dead:

At this point, it doesn’t matter. We’re a more than a week out.

We’ve been waiting for over 20 years. What’s one more week :heh:

If they did put out a single, it would get dissected to hell and back. They're better off just putting the album out because it will speak for itself.

The other artists needed to promote their stuff more because they hadn't released anything in years, and there was probably more skepticism surrounding those projects. What would Slick Rick sound like in 2025? How much buzz can Ghostface create for a sequel to what people consider his masterpiece? How can Mobb Deep and De La Soul stick the landing when they both have dead members in their groups?

The only question with Nas and Premier is this: Is it worth the wait? We can find out next Friday with no need for a single.

This is the best argument for a non-single i’ve read so far.


If they go that route and just drop the album I hope they do what they did for Kings Disease 2 & 3 and release a video the night the album drops. That would be fun.

8 days left us crazy!! It’s going by quick. This shyt might be the one we bop to all 15 tracks. Neck might be hurting…. Two things I’ve learned While waiting for this drop. Royce is part of mass appeal and preme and jb got the same manager. Makes sense why ya was thinking the jbp pod and Royce feature, still don’t see either though, lol. Maybe preme dolo promoting at the podcast. Salute ether day! Should have released a single on this day today. :huhldup:

Y’all remember back in the days when leaks were regular? :ohlawd: I feel like a gotdamn fiend with how many times I’ve hit the refresh button. Every time the title in bold, I’m clicking for some kind of news. Gimme a song. A snippet. A tracklist. Some random tweet from a muthafukka saying he heard it and it’s about to be an instant classic. :banderas:
