My main criticism is probably not even a criticism. I wanted more Nas verses. More than a few times through my first listen I was like where is the second/third verse?:why: and kept :martin:at seeing 2 minute track lengths but I can't even front on the album being crisp, concise, and very easy to get through. Listened to the whole thing on my commute home from work and felt like time flew. No filler, no fat, but still felt packed with vibes, moods, and bars. The only other full length album of his I can say that about is Illmatic.

Oh my god full circle.

This is that smooth gangsta production that's been missing. As soon as I heard AZ start spraying on that beat, took me straight back to the days riding around hearing my cousins bang that IWW for the first time.

This track here in particular is fukking crazy.. Every track has been a banger tho.

Blue Benz, Nas channeled that "Small World" street flow for a second.

The Paak track is kinda fire too, on one listen, if you living like that too, Nas wrecked those verses.

I wonder why The Firm track centered on women, I didn't expect mafioso, but maybe like career/street shyt.


What's the sample on 10 Points? I know it. That drum. It's a song I like.

That seems to be a theme for the album. Til the War Is Won capitalizes on this too. That shyt is a perfect marriage between Give Up The Goods and the Roddy Rich stuff of today. Hitboy studied like a mother fukked before taking this test
