Track is kind of underwhelming on first couple listens. I like the concept tho. Just seems like a filler track. Beat is mellow and chill but nothing overly dope.

Might grow on me.
Yeah kinda just saying the same thing over and over again.

So women are above all criticism?

of course


You ain’t see what happened to J. Cole?

In this climate a woman can call your child a piece of shyt and spit a loogie in your grandma face.. if your reaction is anything other than apologetic, it’s over for you

This is a solid single. Complete opposite of the feeling I had after listening to Jarreau of Rap. This has me excited to hear the full album. Jarreau of Rap had me nervous as fukk to hear the rest (not even saying it was wack but that shyt was so different and left field especially to be the opening single). Definitely looking forward to hearing this in the context of the album. Can’t wait to hear what else they got. “Hit-Boy on the beat, this shyt supposed to slap.” I love the energy and positivity about being black! That shyt is not a negative.

I feel the same. And for what it's worth, Jarreau of Rap ended up becoming my favorite song of 2019. I definitely wouldn't have expected that on first listen, but it grew on me like crazy.

Ultra Black reminds me of the same feeling I felt when I heard Ether for the first time. I was just in awe of how effortlessly Nas flow and delivery is. Like he just lets you know that under no circumstances can you fukk with him on this Mcing shyt.

Song is a perfect example of reading the room too. It's relevant for the culture, relevant for us as a people, and it doesn't come off forced or pandering. It's just a natural expression of his feelings and his talent.

I wasn't excited at all of a fully produced album by Hit-Boy, but bottom line is that I check Nas first and foremost for his pen, so I'm good with it if it sounds like this.

:manny:

How can anyone hear this and not feel refreshed...

Damn i'm gonna need to find a way to buy the album, fukk streaming. I need a permanent copy.

*edit, just saw links, take my money :ahh:

I'm seeing people already hate on it. Same folks that are giving the Boldy project love. I liked it but come the fukk om

Track is butter smooth.
Also the perfect kind of beat for Nas.It's airy and has space. It doesn't crowd Nas out. And his flow is effortless on here.

Got that summery 70s funk/soul vibe. shyt is lovely.

Now I have to show discipline and not wear the track out before the album release. I need that shyt now :bryan:

The shop isn't showing the album for me :mjcry:

Might be a US thing, I remember for TLT2 they couldn't offer the digital album to non-US brehs. I can cop through any other service but I'd prefer to put money in the gods pockets directly on some church shyt.

On that @Ziggiy shyt I cop digital, physical, merch and stream. Hope there will be more merch as the album rolls out.

Someone asked me if I heard a track that another rapper who uses ghostwriters and reference tracks dropped today, had to school him.
