Post removed. What was it?

Track list looks great but lately it’s hard to read too much into Nas’ song names I.e Wu for the children and Bokeem Woodbine. So Pause Tapes could literally just be a reference to them in a line. Although some I think you can get a feel for what song is about I.e Sons

Doubt there’s a Jimmy diss on 3rd childhood. Can’t imagine he’d put that on the closer

I doubt there's a direct Jim diss.

However if there's a verse about a dude who's knocking on 50 but still trying to be a YN you know who it's about

He always sounds his best on Premier beats. Even though I didn't care for Define My Name you could hear a different energy with Nas.

Everyone is at their best or in an extra gear when they work with him. Something about his beats just give rappers a perfect platform to go in.

Facts.

You can always tell when Nas feels at home. When he's with Primo, everything just sounds natural. It's the perfect match. I'm always mad critical. I don’t like anything, lol. But you get Nas and Preem in a room, and they're gonna cook up some classic sh*t. So ending the year with this project is mad dope. Hip Hop is feeling like Hip Hop again.

So it's basically your AOTY?

You already know Nas and AZ will go back and forth on this new track. Look at the name of it, My Story Your Story.

Wanted more features but I’ll be checking for it. Interesting song titles and continuations of past songs.

[Alexander Wiggin]

I knew define my name would not be on it, it was just a throwaway and it frankly sounded like it

I'm particularly in hurry to know where imma rank this one on his discography

 

[criminology]

That tracklist is exactly what I wanted.
