Nah nygga

You needing that many listens to figure out if you like something is crazy. At that point you’re forcing yourself to like it. It’s not organic

If this is toward me nikka I listened to it like 5 times total. Driving and sitting with an album can definitely make u appreciate it more. And I never disliked the album in the first place.

It wasn’t towards you

I hate crypto and so on so I totally get your take (and Ring is a growing part of the surveillance state). That said, it doesn't bother me too much for some reason, I just take it as typical hip hop boasting which isn't my favorite element of rap even though it's a huge part of it.

Facts. I think it’s just personal bias that I miss how he rapped on songs like small world and drunk by myself. It was so cinematic but still with that said this album keeps getting better and better. 3rd childhood is currently my shyt!

can't stop listening to "junkie"

classic

I just realized they didn’t put Define My Name on the album

Maaaan, this joint coulda been so dope if he just added an extra section with a melody that kicks in every 20 or 30 seconds, especially on the hook. Nas killed this.

Came in on page 388.... Wait cats dont like the album?
Ran in the flurries to this downtown...
I can see why young cats dont get it, or cats with limited scopes of hip hop, I loved it.

It's not bad at all. nikkaz talking about this album is bottom 4 Nas album hell nah imo. When I think terrible albums Nasir comes to mind. I do feel Preemo needed to step it up there's quite a few dope joints on here.. The Preemo slander is corny though

I really cannot believe that welcome to the underground beat

What the fukk is that shyt a banjo ?

And Esco was so hype for it: Turn It Up

 

[Prolific_1011]

Whole album is flames. Personally, I love how the album starts off so I dont get this whole "second half" thing.

Btw, when Alchemist drops his next project, I better see dudes expecting "Keep it Thoro" or "We Gonna Make It" level beats. The crazy expectations cats put on Preme, and only Preme, is insane.

It was never meant to be on the album.

They botched then, because this would’ve been the best track on the project.

I copped the "Day One Edition" CD and the regular edition CD. I'm assuming the "Day One Edition" CDs are supposed to be collector's items. Maybe they wanted to get the music on vinyl/CD/tape out to the people ASAP, hence the simple cover for the firste ditions. My "Day One Edition" CD shipped today, while my email for the second edition says it won't ship til around February 18, 2026.
