Let's me know nikkaz not listening at all
Nas said in that Buddens interview he’s not really “boom bap rap”…what did y’all think of that? He has that on him because of Illmatic, etc… He is that and grew up loving and inspired by that but that’s not like his “thing”, he’s more street/gangsta/fly shhit. It’s like people saying Rae and Ghost are “boom bap” cause they’re in Wu-Tang or sumn like that, they are but they’re not, if you know what I’m saying. They’re street nigs with street, fly, get money ass raps.
That’s what the naysayers want from Nas, imo. But fukk them, respectfully lol, I was just thinking about them and why they’re never seemingly satisfied with the bodies of work. They want IWW 2, not even Illmatic 2, they want that street boss aesthetic, with some introspection lol. This album is an ode to exactly that shh they don’t want, 80s hip hop, boom bap type ish, if you’re not jackin that you probably won’t jack the album…mainly the production.
. This album is amazing, it’s better than good and sounds better every time I listen

Nas has also said he’s not a Gangsta rapper.
I think its just not wanting to be put in a box. Nasty Esco Nasir puts the point in the best context.

Some of this shyt y'all saying don't even make sense "Not descriptive" just say you have Nas fatigue 
got me misty
it's fine, listenable. a pleasant piece of mid.
it's kind of got a charming corny old man quality to it. the man just loves hip-hop and is appreciative of his life right now
My Life Is Real
Pause Tapes
It's Time
My Story Your Story
are all very good
wasted one of the better beats on the album with that goofy crypto song
hated him bragging about investing in ring cameras on NYSOM3
how he sounds on this album convinced me he's been using AI on his features for the Mass Appeal album run

Not gangsta…just fly street, I think the “naysayers” and older heads you see complaining, that’s the Nas they’re craving for, pause, they just can’t word it.

Yea I can easily see this album aging better for people in time. I'm satisfied with what they've given us

Nas homage to “Live nxxx rap” on “my life is real” 
Album is fire. Anyone hating on this can lick two dried nuts
Album is fire. Anyone hating on this can lick two dried nutsI even like that jawn now, for real. It’s a little weird but once you catch the bop you catch it. Weird, horror movie type vibes a little bit lol, might be just me
Speaking of Eminem, I wouldn’t have really wanted/needed him on Daughters but I think he would have fit perfectly on “Writers”. He is fascinated by/in love with 80s hip hop too, I’m sure he woulda jumped on that immediately
