[u mad son?]

Diddy doing a shytty job of hiding that weed that he forever claimed he doesn't smoke

That's crazy to me I really thought Diddy was anti weed for decades

Saw the cassette on the store and for 12 bucks? Had to cop. This album is the surprise of the month for me, least I can do. It’ll deliver around my birthday and I’ll prob forget by then so it’ll be like a lil gift to me from me lol.

Think I’m gonna frame it and throw it on the wall with other music shyt I got

Coolest thing about this album is that the hype wasn't that big and the critical acclaim seems natural. Everyone legitimately loves this album.

Even Spicy is dope, IDGAF

Spicy had me nodding my head on first listen

I don' think it's a coincidence. Nas is an artist. There are rappers who just go in a studio, pick a bunch of beats, and knock it out - for good or bad. Everything we know about Nas' creation process says he doesn't just record songs and move to the next. He lives with songs, he needs conversation on concepts/ideas, he needs to get to know the producer. He did that with No ID (and Salaam Remi) on LIG. He did it with Large Professor on Stillmatic (and Illmatic). Trackmasters+Steve Stoute on IWW. Hit Boy on King's Disease. And the results have all been great or classic.

It's like he operates like an artist from another genre, which makes sense. Same way Michael Jackson went back and forth with Quincy Jones. Same way David Bowie went back and forth with Brian Eno. It's not about giving someone beats and walking away. No one understands the best way to approach a beat than the guy who produced it.

Agreed
