This bassline on Full Circle

AZ killed it. Glad to see Cormega show up. Foxy was trash.

The Firm. I could cry.

Untitled was pretty acclaimed though


It was the reaction to Lost Tapes 2 that had me convinced Nas was randomly fukking every music critic’s wife or some shyt.

Dropped 10$ on it I buy all Nas albums. Got blunted and ran this 2x back to back

It’s definitely my favorite album this year


Blue Benz

I was on the fence but after hearing Full Circle I bought the vinyl.

Hit Boy us really talented, like really musically talented.

Some of the drum programming on here is pretty intricate

Yo he’s got a joint called Fear God on Conway’s upcoming joint they drops on September 11th. It seriously reminds me of a remix to the old Chicago Bulls walkout music but with really dope ass drums on it. He’s got another one with Conway and T.I. with these melancholy keys on it. Dope as fukk.

I always thought of Hit-Boy as the guy that did the Paris beat. Which I thought was overrated. But he’s been killing it lately. He has a project of himself rapping that he dropped in January that I’ll link below that’s fire.

Benny is dropping an album produced by him on September 5th and afternoon hearing this Nas album’s production, I can’t wait. I think he went from not being on my radar to in my top 10 producers right now just based on his 2020 work alone.

He can spit too.

Highkey music manager hasnt worked in months. I was able to put this on my Google Play through the browser's Upload Music function and dragged and dropped from my iTunes. I'm literally not using YT Music until this shyt basically gets deleted off my phone

Blue Benz is my fav track right now, had it on repeat for awhile till realized i still had the whole album to go thru

I'm ok with people thinking Nas had the better verse on Life's A bytch. They were both really fukking good. Could go either way.

But I definitely liked AZ way more on Mo Money Mo Homicide. His flow + the way he just put words together so effortlessly

"Yo Dunn, before the sun set call connect get all the tech's
I'm vexed, this nikka soft as sex, lost respect, let's off his neck
My caliber, got me thinkin on a higher algebra
See me I'm just as foul as ya but you ain't got no style in ya
I'm into bigger cheddar, G's and better, Armarett-ah's
Armani sweaters, plus these crabs could never dead us"

"Now you're forced to listen, I got the mind of a grad from Princeton
Play your position, or soon you'll be lost and missin
It's far from fiction, my presence is like that of a christian
With ammunition puttin states under submission
Street addiction, got me tied in thorough with boroughs
Still in the ghetto, but in the cut where it's mellow
Incognito, on the lee-low, like Carlito
Cause we know, nikkas don't really want us to see doe
You never know it might just be yo' time you take yo' ride
To them pearly white gates, watch that suicide"

Nah I think Nas def edged him on Mo Money. The imagery in that was crazy. Nas really was a movie director on that one.

Breh, Durk went off on "Til the war is won". Always wanted to hear Nas and Durk on the same track. Glad they made it happen.

This tracks are straight flames.

Untitled by Nas

so called “critics” were shyttin on it. Prolly cuz the subject material made em uncomfortable. When you have a track called Farrakhan you bound to fall outta the medias good graces.

Couldnt stop that gold plaque tho

Album is dope. surprised the shyt out of me.
