[Mastamimd]

Ransom said he didn't like it...I'd be mad if he made a better project himself

 

[Sad Bunny]

[TBdaGhost]

I fukked around and accidentally copped the clean version off Tidal.

Nas getting 2 sales from me I guess

I know people saying he's talking about Cole, but I think Nas was talking about Tragedy on King's Disease

"You a king, you will be next to me, doing your own king shyt, most definitely
We're so "Say less when I speak", y'all estrogen speak
Respected by kings only, address me as chief
Invested in things only a vet would
Only lames front on kings, that's expected from creeps
You mad at my nikkas and any woman with any interest in me
You could've made it (You was good), look at all the time wasted
Now you gotta retract statements, shoulda stuck to the basics
All you had to do was tell the truth, like, fukk all the fake shyt
You should want every brother to make it out
But brothers want trophies, they troll for clout
Rap is weird, weird flex, but okay
You ain't as ill as you think, you just okay
You got pressed in the hood, fix your jibs up
I'm on top Stop fighting it, yo, stop with the over-righteousness"


Specifically what's highlighted. Am I bugging?

 

[Formerly known as...]

i love Nas as much as the next (logical) Nas fan, and he's always going to be my #1 favorite rapper

however, this album does not move me at all. seems blah, incomplete and with a lack of passion.

also disappointed in Hit Boy's beats. given his track record, thought he'd come with some diff sounding bangers.

i'll give it another couple spins, but not crazy about the sound or content.

it's fine because, in my mind, Nas' career truly closed with Life Is Good...all of this after that is just blah.

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

Completely agree with your top 3

I could see that...but I thought him and Trag were “cool” (in a QB sense)

LOL maybe. Everyone in Qb's relationship is so weird, they even send subs when they "friends"

25 years later, AZ still carrying on the tradition of outshining Nas on a track together lol

Sorry, couldn't help myself there

Anyways, the GOAT comes through again as usual with another dope ass album

Umm. Nah. Maybe on THIS track because Nas was basically letting them shine. AZ didn’t have a better verse in Life’s A bytch. Didn’t have a better verse on Mo Money Mo Murda. Didn’t have a better verse on How Ya Livin. Didn’t have a better verse on The Flyest. Didn’t have a better verse on The Essence. Didn’t have the better verses on Serious either,

I coulda sworn Trag said him and Nas is good. Either way whoever he spoke about he cooked that nikka. Lol
