Imma just say this, I love this album. Reason why I didn't want them to do a full album is what's happening now. It was always gonna be Preme dated and/or this should have been done 30 years ago. Granted I wasn't feeling Preme over the last years, but that had more to do with who he was working with. I'm not in to rappers like Royce, Ransom or Roc Marci.. can they rap? Fuhk yeah..just not interested. Preme came through for me. Yall can feel how yall feel, but I aint discussing this album on here wit yall. Yall begged for years for it. Ungrateful ass nyggas.

Solid 4 mic album. As of now, its way behind any Hit Boy album other than Magic 2. And it sits behind Mobb and De La.
There’s atleast 2-3 autistic nikkas on this thread that aren’t worth quoting or replying to. One is literally the booth version of zion scit, he keeps tabs on anytime bron is mentioned and this dude keeps tabs anytime Nas is mentioned.
Its funny going through 30 pages of comments.
“alchemist is overrated” lmao
“this is a top 3 nas album” lmao

exactly how I feel
That was definitely the point where his sound changed afterwards
He still had great placements consistently but we didn't really get a full project from him for a while, was it Blaq Po's solo in like 09?? Or the Bumpy Knuckles joint that featured Nas? Can't remember
A lot of guys changed from hardware and their whole studio setup and mastering process seemed to change in the 00s

Bro this not even really 98 Preem. This is like 92 Preem. Way more like early Gang Starr and Less So Ghetto and Nas is Like.
My nikka need to go find Hit-Boy as soon as possible. 
Thanks Admirali realize that but it's an interesting choice imo
I hear you. I don't particularly like that twangy slap bass, I like deep bass. Good bass is hard to achieve.
I didn't pick the Seinfeld up untill you said it - now I'm trying to "unsee/unhear it" lol
I think the same way on other issues but try not to let it ruin things.
But then you have something like Memory Lane and it's just perfect!

Blaqprint dropped in summer 2009 and if I recall was the first Primo fully produced album after The Ownerz. The Bumpy Knucks Primo project was 2012. I like a lot of the beats on both of those.
Exactly it was just a playful joke at the beat, weird choice but it kinda works too and Nas honors the concept very well

It was the Bumpy Knuckles LP. They did an EP together too before the full LP. The Blaq Poet album had a few tracks on it that Preemo didn't produce. Even the NYGz album wasn't 100% Preemo production.

You're right, he didn't fully produce Blaqprint and the NYGz album, I think he did most but not all iirc

He definitely did....Wrath Of Math was a step down from rise in da East but it was still fire.The Jeru albums were masterpieces, and people slept HEAVILY on those!
Preem went CRAZY on both of those.

Of course we get Doggie’s two cents.
