[ajnapoleon]

nothing wrong with this album

remember the artist pick the beats


this album is great not super amazing


this album adds to both legacy's not take away


im rocking with it


gonna hit the gym and play this and the conway album

 

[Nabs]

Starting the album with that My Life Is Real beat is a crazy choice Git Ready is literally right there.

 

[AAKing23]

This is definitely a regional album, feels like it's from a different time

You ain't a Nas stan if you can't appreciate Nas on lackluster production

Nas rappin his ass off, Preem, although not who he once was is still sharp with the cuts on the boards

Nas and Sosa on a track trading bars in 2025 mean something to me man

 

[Tupac in a Business Suit]

My Story Your Story is the standout track. Nostalgic NYC right there.

 

[Ziggiy]

I’m glad Nas is gonna place his passion for other ventures over hip hop because the art form is no longer appreciated or valued. I’m happy he made this year all about the culture, legacy and art but when you love the art form more than the people you do it for, I would say it’s time to focus on other ventures you’re passionate about and let hip hop rest.

Nah F U U U C C C K THAT!

The man said on Junkie he ain’t quitting this rap shyt and i’m holding him TO IT.

I don’t give a damn if he does an album produced by Souljah Boy with Andre 3000 playing the flute on every other song, I wanna hear it.

Last verse on "Welcome to the Underground"

Bro people don't like this song but that last verse was worth the price of admission. He just absolutely killed that.

 

[HNIC973]

If I hear one of you nikkaz say "Cops Shot the kid" would be standout on here neg & ignore immediately

 

[JayBaldacci]

Outside of NYSOM 3, no misses. Dope album. Esco delivered and Primo is on point.

That's a huge miss... that's a signature Nas joint.

 

[spliz]

I dead ass wanna slap Premo for NYSOM 3. That damn Billy Joel sample was RIGHT THERE. fukk wrong wit this nikka? Ol “dare to be different” ass nikka. We need a remix.

 

[mundL]

2nd listen

I love this shyt

God was i wrong about it first few tracks in

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Writers is that shyt I need

That menacing dark alley shyt that Preme has mastered

 

[Cladyclad]

Ya'll gotta stop replying to that clown man. Supposedly he's digested the album, doesn't like it, but is still in here running the post count up so he can rely on "but they're replying to me" as justification

Smd

Im tired of yall fakkits crying

 

[Life is Good]

The disrespect for Prem is downright blatantly harsh and disregards his worth. It’s manifesting as online verbal abuse, public humiliation and constant boundary violations from so called hip hop fans who is displaying controlling bully behavior towards a LEGEND who dedicated HIS life to this art form. It is extremely rude, belittling and makes the recipient of the disrespect ask: WHERE IS THE LOVE?
