But we know for a fact Nas isn't about just rapping over the "best" beats. He likes what he likes.

I'm Nasty Nas, I was destined to be here
In Grandmaster Caz's atmosphere to breathe Kool Moe Dee's air
It's Esco here, I like the hip-hop stuff
But come here, I whisper in your ear, "I don't give a fukk"
It sounds like it bothers you, that I'm just that guy, just that fly
Nah, but I know that you hate me
For rapping to tracks that sound like mafia movie scores, baby
That was your thing, you was getting that through the doors crazy
'Cause it didn't happen before me, sorry
You was talking Cristal first — yeah, that was all me
But I brought the blick to the church, I told you run it now
My jewelry box open, you hearing a humming sound
Not humble, not underground
fukk your cigars and fedora hats
This is real rap, what could be better than that?
Ah, the double R, the iciest jewels
Cash rules, heavenly messenger, white gloves, white shoes
Man, that sound materialistic, rappin' 'bout how the rich live
Yo, that boom-bap is too wack, that don't get you no bytches
Well, Nasty the type to rob you
Who you talkin' to? (You) Who? (You)
No one left in this room, just us *gunshot*
Nas was rapping his ass off c'mon Preem we love you but step it up. You can't go around giving NYG'z better shyt than Nas

Off First listen/run through premos production sounds dope, not throwaways. Gotta give it more spins now, to see how I really about the overall album.

Yeah, I picked up on it while I was listening to the concepts.
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
Beats are little underwhelming I aint gonna lie. But its a pretty chill laid back release. It aint wack but we have to remember this like when Mayweather and Paquiao finally fought.

It worked with HB for the most part. Nas was out here rapping his ass off some of this shyt Preem mailed this shyt in

90% of those Hit-Boy songs are NyQuil to me. I think this is better than all 6 albums easily. It's subjective. You honestly think NAS of all people, one of the pickiest MCs ever, just took WHATEVER Premier threw him? They said they came up with the stuff together.

This right here.
People online are weird though. They act like Premier is forcing Nas to rap over sh*t. Every beat on this project was made with Nas right there and directing. This is what he wanted to rap over, to go with the concepts and ideas.
Preem's job is to give Nas production that works with his ideas. But these posers self-appoint themselves as critics, but with no knowledge. It's corny AF.
