And now here comes Madman sounding like Hard To Earn/Sun Rises To The East/Livin Proof era

 

[I love Latina women]

Nas ain’t lost a step

Premier lacked on a few beats but all in all a solid album

7.5 out of 10

Pause Tapes is fukking filthy. Got me transporting back to his childhood listening to that one.

Edit: Even the skeletal beat sounds like it belongs in the 80s. I love it.

ok just finished. Played it all the way through. Magic was my bar for this album and it overwhelms Magic from start to finish. What I worried about was Preme and lack good bass lines. Man, he shut my ass up. Beautiful cuts like Sons and Bouquet for the ladies which I knew was gonna be for the ladies of hip hop. Just beautiful. Album is perfect. I didnt skip any songs. I aint saying every song a complete 9 or 10, but I can play it through with no skips.

I'm not gonna compare this really to The KD albums. Hit has more diverse type songs, but THIS HERE IS NAS!!!!!. Grateful I got to experience this. Preme solidified his status.

I think one thing I've noticed over the last few years is his engineer is kinda disservicing him. There's this hollow sound to his beats now whereas they used to be crunchier and thicker () A lot of his recent output, the exact same beats would've been absolute bangers in 95-99 just off better mixing.

Nasty Esco Nasir is dope.

Song was genius...
