Third listen: still hate WELCOME TO THE UNDERGROUND, and NYSOM3 I actually love the beat but the chorus man, that still takes me out 
Other than those two, I fukks with everything else.

0.2%er checking in (check my YouTube Music stats).
We awake in the Netherlands now and this the first thing I listened to in the car.
So... I prefer some of the Hit albums ... But I fukking LOVE / adore this shyt on first listen. This is really really great beautiful HipHop and pretty much exactly what I wanted and needed from them.
Such a beautiful cap to the year. No diss but I'm not listening to anything else that drops today until 2026. Running this and the other 2025 albums back.
What a year.
I've had Nas as my GOAT over Pac since the Stillmatic -Lost Tapes-Gods Son run, and I was willing to entertain people not GOATING him until like ..Life is Good. It became even sillier after the Hit run.
But what the fukk y'all gotta say now
Pac will forever be a close second just for what he meant for me as a youngin.
All the other cats y'all want to rank over Nas though, nah check yaselves and talk to a therapist about what's really bothering you about him. I ain't having it no mo.
It's a bouncy head nodding homage to the grind of paying your dues as an MC coming up when you had to earn your stripes. He floats like a dead body on this beat. Your not the first to say they don't like that song but I for the life of me can't see why.
