I know DOPE right??

 

[Life is Good]

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.

Not quitting but it won’t be his focus like it has been for the past several years.

I took that as the genre as a whole
But I can see him bowing out soon. His focus has been on other stuff.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

First listen shyts dope. Nas sounding dope as always. Preemo lacing these samps

 

[Piff Perkins]

My first impression...there are some good tracks on here alongside questionable/meh stuff, Nas does his thing overall, the production is very mixed.

 

[L. Deezy]

All I could think while going through this album is I wish someone would remix pretty much the whole thing.

Can someone find which rock 9th Wonder crawled under and get him back in the lab?

Nas came through but Preem dropped the ball. This is unacceptable production.

9th Wonder? Lol


We asking for 9th Wonder round here?

 

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

I just remembered, Junkie isn't the first time Preemo produced a track for a rapper from QB using the love of hip-hop as a metaphor for addiction.

 

[mson]

Writers is that shyt I need

That menacing dark alley shyt that Preme has mastered

I can see a video for that.

 

[Da King]

Premo been Premo for like 30 years.

nikkas in here like “these premo beats are premo beats”

Da fukk did yall expect??

Premo beats range from classic to hot garbage, so you’re not saying shyt


You nikkas that get mad at ANY critique aren’t fans but groupies

 

[ajnapoleon]

9th Wonder? Lol

A 9th wonder and soul council album with nas would be amazing

AZ
Twista
Fabulous


All would sound amazing on a album done by them


It won’t sell but it would be amazing

Not mad at anything and not ashamed to say ima GOAT groupie

Premo has a sound. You pretty much know a premo beat when you hear it.

This album is full of premo beats

Pause Tapes might be my fav track so far
