You can hear Nas is dripping with genuineness. He's been talking pro-black, real shyt since forever. No disrespect to the others doing the social shyt, but it sounds forced. Nas just talks about his life and the problackness is just woven into it naturally. I don't think he's really trying to go that way. It's just how he is. The other albums make problack a concept album whereas this is just a regular Nas album.

So dope.

Can't understate how happy it makes me to hear Nas, Mega, and AZ all on a record together, talking about regular shyt black men can all relate to. Even though they've squashed shyt before, it's good to hear shyt immortalized on wax.

Really makes this line from earlier in the album stick.

2020 flows, everything getting exposed (Exposed)
Who really the bros? (Bros) Who really is goals? (Goals)
Who ready to let it go? All the grudges we hold

Someone said it earlier, but this really is a love letter to black men.

Chilllllll


It Was Written and Life Is Good still exist breh.


But its definitely a special album
I def got it above LIG, which is in my top 5 Nas jawns. I think the production on this shyt maybe better than the production on IWW. And song for song I think it may possibly be better too.

I will say, its possible im buggin, im just so happy my man finally made the album that I've been wanting from him forever, a big sounding, musically undeniable album...but I don't think I am champ, this album is reeeeeeally really good. Its not better than Illmatic tho, I'll say that, lol
