My only concern with this is that these albums are only important to a fairly small amount of people. The 35+ crowd that despite the mortgages, kids and flat tops creeping in still love this style of hip hop. The LL and Common albums did not make the waves i wouldve liked. Feel like the "jazz syndrome" is something to consider for the future.




Promised myself that i wouldnt get my hopes high for this but struggling with it.

As soon as the album drops ill stay away from opinions until i spin the record a few times. People just get on my ffuukking nerves with some of the disrespectful sshhiitt they "think"

Thank you Nas & Premier for this regardless if its a 7/10 or 11/10

I don't think jazz is the comparison I'd make. To me we're witnessing rap finally get the rock vet treatment. Paul McCartney was in his 50s in the early 1990s for instance. He was still releasing music. It sold ok because of who he is, the demographic, era etc but from a music perspective he was completely out the loop. Grunge had taken over in America, Britpop's return was in its infancy...point being, the youth were not fukking with Paul lol. Yet he could still go on virtually any rock or talk station to talk about old shyt while promoting new shyt. Rock took advantage of entire networks of talk radio to ensure their legends always had a place to sell shyt without being sonned.

IMO the Mass Appeal promo runs have proven how effective that network is for our legends. You can activate your fanbase. Sure, they won't put up big sales numbers because most older fans do not stream music. But you know what you can do? Sell out your vinyl. Sell your limited cassettes. Sell out your tour. I've seen a lot of clips from the Mobb/Rae tour and that shyt is sold out. De La will sell out their next tour. We know Nas will too.

Came to check why so many pages excited and again, this post is the most exciting thing I’ve seen.

Some of ya complaining saying the tracklist is missing ether 2…

And to my fellow Nas fans feeling a way cus others like me know define my name wasn’t it. Just know, they both left the track off for a reason. :umad:

shyt was a cool track for a soundtrack. Not for this type of album after so many years. We know what we talking about.

Y'all gonna check that stationhead stream? I was onto it for KD3 with Coop & Mike, it was 6AM my timezone and it was a classic moment musically speaking in the last 20 years, just seeing everybody bugging out in the chat track after track.

Dunno if Mike D can do it on his own though. Coop was kinda weird but he used to hype me the fukk up during those moments

I see the plug chick gonna be hosting a Space as well on twitter

I looked at every poster Premo list

its very disturbing

all the top records are from the 90s and the bottom records are from the 2000s

so that is a interesting split lol

i have not listen to a Nas album since KD1

i will listen to this one though

nikka Nas last album cut with Premo was in 01. fukk out the thread with this useless ass commentary. U haven’t listened to a Nas album since KD1 but had something to say about every one of them shyts afterwards. Plus u wrong. 2nd Childhood was damn near at the top of everybody list and it came out AFTER Come Get Me which trends toward the bottom.
