C'mon son... it's NYSOM... arguably THE signature Nas song. Here's what I wanted; better verses and a better beat. Were they gonna out do the og? No, duh. But do it justice. This one makes the 2 sound like the fisrt.

Part 2 is a 5/5 track

Maybe because I was expecting Preme on his Moment of Truth style with more layered beats like Royalty, Moment of Truth, and Make Em Pay, and Work.
But instead, we got more Daily Operation/ Hard to Earn/ Wrath of the Math type beats.
Very simplistic and minimalist.
But like I said if you like that early 90's Gang Starr/ Jeru/ Freddie Foxx stuff you're loving this.

Writers and GIT ready are out this world ..damn im snapping my neck at work to this shyt
I feel like what we’re seeing is a generational divide when it comes to the production.
As an elder millennial, this is exactly the kind of stripped down back to basics a la Gangstarr albums from the early 90’s that I was hoping for.
Of first listen this is easily 4/5 crowns for the King and Premo laced him something serious
I honestly was expecting more beats along the lines of Bouquet. The extra grimy boom bap beats are fine but Premier went OD with them. Nas was rapping his ass off tho so maybe that was the point
Still Nasty since 91 nothing competes

Here come the Nas Stan Echo chamber
Didn’t like it at first, went to sleep now you love it
Ya’ll did the same thing with Nasir - go look at that thread, only told the truth 5 years after
They got technology to strip the music and leave just the voice now, hopefully some producers remix this
Nas Rapping (9/10)
Preem (5-6/10)
Unfortunately we have to judge songs as a whole , otherwise every rap album would be acapella
Not one memorable beat on here - I’m not even a hit boy fan but even he had like 10-15 beats that made me go

Listened to the first few tracks on the way to work, and I liked what I heard so far, except NYSOM 3. I see the vision for what Preemo was trying to do, I just wish the execution was better. Will listen to the rest of the album when I get home tonight.

4.5/5 but what ever.... part 3 is 3/5 being generous.
Knew this would happen dudes would expect an album full of NYSOM, Memory Lane, Represent, I Gave You Power and Nas Is Like from men in their 50s then complain when it wasn't that.
Some of the criticisms just straight up bizarre. Saw someone say Welcome To The Underground sounded like some country western shyt
dislike it all you want but that's a throwback funk type loop. Knew the segment of modern underground fans that don't care about drums or basslines just haunting loops wouldn't fukk with it either when Premier said this was boom box music. And of course you got the camel stan in here with the canned criticisms pretending he actually listened. Never change Coli.
Only had a chance to listen once so far but Nas killed this with the rap performance, content and concepts. Like if you say you like Nas but not fukking with Madman through My Story Your Story at minimum not even sure what to say. Production fit what he was going for here to cap off the Legend Has It series.
