Yo I just played it on Amazon Music and it's a Hip Hop Classic .

Nas got 4 Classics Illmatic, It Was Written, Stillmatic and King Disease

Ultra black sounds way better on the album. Its like the key song almost

 

[Roxx the King]

Imma accept my L. I said Nas doesn't sound good on trap drums. I said Nas shouldn't try to make modern anthems for the kids because it might sound like old man shyt. I was wrong.

He slayed every beat. Whether it was trap drums or hard snares, the flow never wavered from beginning to end. If you told me NAS would have a dope ass song with Fivio, Durk, and even Don Toliver I would have laughed in your face. But he did that shyt. The Don Toliver shyt might be the weakest track on the album and it's STILL a solid ass track.


this shyt is just smooth, man. wavy

KANYE should be ashamed man. There is actual songwriting and THOUGHT put into this. It's not some shyt thrown together in a couple days and then horribly mixed by coward ass Mike Dean. They cooked this shyt. You can tell Nas was re-doing verses, coming up with new ideas, bouncing things back and forth, etc.

I aint read all that but you right, Kanye should be ashamed of himself. One of his protégé literally gave us what we thought Kanye would smh

I'd neg Kanye if I could.

I didnt think he would either. But he killed everything. The production is very modern, he kills it, but it feels like Nas and doesnt feel forced. Even the dirk song works and is dope.

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Top 3 project of the year so far along with Alfredo and Miles Davis.


For all the fukk shyt 2020’s brought, Its been a special year for music

Hit Boy

As a 43 Hip Hop Zealot I over looked Hit Boy because some of the artist he worked with and he Taylor his beats to his generation artist

But all this time he was a student of hip hop and can make hip hop tracks with a modern spin on it, I should of known that because he is a Disciple of Kanye West

King's Disease A Hip Hop Classic

 

[Roxx the King]

Album flow so effortless, I havent even really been able to stop and decide what songs I like the most.

I'm impressed by all of them in their own way.

Edit: I'm still on the sour but I just realized on listen 7 the songs are pretty short in some cases. BUT! IT WORKS. How concise and dope this album is is why I like it so much and have been able to play it back to back like this. One producer but a veritable charcuterie of beats lol. Im.high

 

[CHERUB]

1st Nas album in while i wish was longer. By the time i finished rolling up and sparked the blunt the shyt was over

Bruh, i think it is too. I just wanna let it breathe because I dont want to be that guy. But after 2 play throughs, this shyt is outstanding. 30 years in the game!

 

[Chip Skylark]

Yo, see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
Traffickers, African Latin, wire tappings
Here come the people, run my people, they don't treat us equal
I'm talking the law for me, freedom is illegal
Tape telephone conversations, what kind of nation
Got three hundred million people they investigating?
I know they're tryna watch me, a Russian oligarchy
Politically, it's principle they try to stop me
Powerful people establish you, they try to mute you
Unethical ways put you in prison, try to roof you
Our youth is dead to us, they call us stupid predators
Stupid words from the President's mouth, where are his editors?
Antarctica is 65 degrees
Global warming, they don't wanna believe
And they're hanging people on trees
And what the fukk is up with Gale King?
A black male, a female thing, a failed thing
Journalism or internalism
Shirley Chisolm wouldn't play the victim
Eartha Kitt woulda been finished with him
Top of the charts, guarded my heart, playing my part
Sun rising but they want us to stay in the dark
Scorned woman wanna slump me, to fade me to dark
King's disease, I cure this shyt with my art


naw folks there’s no way y’all saying the definition is the weakest joint on the album
