Facts.
We got outsiders sitting on couches at home who feel they know how to make a Nas and Premier album better than Nas and Premier. This is how comfortable the weirdos are now. Not even from the culture. But they’re gonna tell you how sh*t should be done in the culture.

It's a difference when asked to be a feature on someone like a Nas project where you want to be your best lyrically, at that point in time Em had said everything he possibly could. Since then/now during the continued course of her life into adulthood I'm sure more material manifested.And then he proceeded to make more songs about Hailie later on.
I'm glad Eminem turned it down because I can't imagine him on a song like that, especially 2012 Eminem.
That's why Nas is great. He can have multiple concept and albums.

Vinyl just arrived. That’s the quickest arrival of any mass appeal release this year. Waiting on the cd and autographed copy though.

Thing is, Nas's last 7 albums haven't been crazy with traditional samples.
The 6 before this one were loaded with sh*t from sample packs. This joint actually had more sh*t to clear than anything he's done since 2012. The HB and Premier albums aren't costing Nas any money. Preem listed himself as an artist on this too. It's a joint album, so he's not charging Nas for this, like that. But this is still an indie project.
But people should just enjoy the music and stop trying to think like music executives. This dude had Premier, Pete Rock, Large Professor, and Q-Tip, and we didn't see any fans back in '94 talking about Illmatic's budget, lol. Way too many people worried about "I wonder what he's spending on promotion. There's been no single". Fans gotta learn to just enjoy music again, and leave the business side of the process to the people who are actually in the business.

nikka you said there are 20 rappers whose MUSIC is under more scrunity than Nas. I said name em... you named 10 rappers (not 20) and Ice Cube, Da Baby, and Wale was among them lmao.
Where are all the Think Pieces breaking down Wale's lyrics? Where is the great hip hop civil war debating what producers Wale is working with?
I specifically said the Kings disease series when mentioning sales.
The nikka won a grammy
(i dont even like talking about sales and grammy's. Im doing this on purpose to find what metric you're attempting to use)
Wale's music is not under scrunity, bc most people didnt even know he dropped.
Wale- Everything Is A Lot (New Album) 11/14 <--- there is Wale's thread.
I dont even know if you like that album or not because you dont got 1 post in that bytch
so no, you're making my point. You (like the majority of rap fans) would rather be in here talking about Nas than talking about Wale
Dudes got 7 albums from their favorite artist but is worried about promotions. That mean those fans wish he sold records still instead their favorite artists has dropped 7 albums in less than 5 years lol

I’m pretty sure Wale would prefer people kept criticism only about music lolnikka you said there are 20 rappers whose MUSIC is under more scrunity than Nas. I said name em... you named 10 rappers (not 20) and Ice Cube, Da Baby, and Wale was among them lmao.

da baby is in 2025 gets 10000% more criticism than Nas about music
Nas is in corner by himself. Most of the shyt is because of his own fanbase.
those other rappers are attack by millions of people everyday. Nas don’t have to deal with that. Y’all Stan’s should be happy about that.

i'm starting to think that "It's time" is on par with all the Preemo and Nas Classics, this is basically the 2025 "Nas is like", go argue with a wall, this joint right here with a good music video and a good push will get played everywhere
