I may be the only person that loves the "my life is real". That's my 2nd favorite song after "3rd childhood". I love the piano chords on it.

one youtuber said "my life is real" sounds like it was mad on a child's toy piano. That's what started getting me heated with these wack ass youtube producers. Now, I've stayed away from criticizing them for years. It's ok to say you don't like something, but when your beats are fukking garbage and your life is dedicated to creating content around making beats, that you're not very good at, THEN you make an hour video analyzing how Primo should be making beats, that shyt is not acceptable. I didn't truly like every song on the Dre/Marsha Ambrosis album. Now, imagine me going on youtube as a content creator/beatmaker trying to explain to Dre how he needs to make beats, when my shyt is trash. You can criticize all you want and say you don't like something, but there are some things you simply shouldn't do.

The Coli might not like it, but Premier may need to hang it up 
These beats are terrible.
I don't care if it sounds like blasphemy on here, but Nas and Conductor could have made a much better album dedicated to hip-hop than Nas and Premier.

hey, it's not for you. You don't have to listen. I don't listen to trap music at all, but it doens't bother me because I don't even know most of the artists exist. Pay them no mind, and listen to you favorite artists. It will cost you nothingThe Coli might not like it, but Premier may need to hang out up

To compare this to the difference of trap music is too much of a different comparison.hey, it's not for you. You don't have to listen.

What I mean by that is I relistened to some tracks off Stillmatic recently.
Almost like a palette cleanser for this bullshyt.
The combination of Nas raps and the beats are phenomenal compared to this.
This song randomly came up after NYSOM 3 on my YouTube and only made me hate NYSOM 3 even more.

I Didn't like this.
I think somewhere near a decade ago, Nas became this suit wearing Mogul with slightly longer hair and his flow is annoying...like he's talking to some friend of his and has to namedrop something every second.

Ahhh the Coli tradition of a Nas album simultaneously being the second coming & the worst thing hes dropped 
My GOAT
This album is great though. Not Preme’s best work, but it’s not bad. Gonna run back the whole HB series & this this week. Only miss for me was Magic 2

Facts. A lot of that stuff is low key just rage/engagement bait anyway. It's really hard to get good information from Youtube nowadays, because the algorithm doesn't reward it. So people just make bullshyt videos hating or making up shyt.

There was definitely a timeline where this was getting shelved forever. Way better to have it than not in my opinion.

I've never seen an MC get compared to his previous work like Nas. Half of y'all can't enjoy his new shyt unless it sounds exactly like his previous classic shyt. I love Writers for example do I listen to it like this ain't Nas is Like fukk this?

Head on a swivel, loaded lead in the nickel
The devil holding a sickle, wanna sever your tissue
That's forever the issue, then candlelight at a vigil
They say jail is both a rehab center and homeless shelter
And life and death is close as a tonic and seltzer
Never fold under pressure, give you my manifesto
Every man is a vessel, my son is my reflection
He from the highest heaven, I try not to possess him
Allow him to be tested
One day the words may come out the mouth of a reverend
"By the power vested in me," loud at his wedding
Give flowers while you can smell them, I try to tell him
All the diamonds and foreigns, all the finest of garments
It's really how it ends and not how it started
Filthy rich, scuba diving in your wealthy pockets
Louis, Prada, but health is my most valuable stock tip
Y'all 'bout to run things, to my young kings
Plenty stuff I used to see I often thought was a image of us
Getting off the city bus, all the memories rush
I used to look up at the crossing sign
A child with a grown-up holding his arm while I was walking with my mom
I pointed at it, automatic
I saw it as a little boy who was the baddest, like don't let 'I'm run in traffic
I really thought the crossing sign was me and my mom
Like who thought we was that important for a street sign?
One year, she told me that sign was for everybody
I'm like, "We ain't everybody, nah, we special, Mommy"
Playin' with toys, yo, she got us Atari
Those is Miss Anne's boys, Nasir and Jabari
Our youth was constantly fighting institutional racism
In school, we questioned the bias, two little future lions
Haile Selasies in training
Y chromosome, in no time they grown
First born be like the Mom
Second born is usually like Dad
Then you add the other siblings
Hold each other down 'cause love brings
The world at your feet, my young kings
Sons is such a dope record
The devil holding a sickle, wanna sever your tissue
That's forever the issue, then candlelight at a vigil

I refuse to help give him any more clicks. It wasn't just one, but a few. I'm not helping them fakkits. Hell no
