Straight up I can't get over how special that Store Run-Moments-Nobody stretch is I can't stop listening to this shyt

This album Nas came into HitBoy's world, polar opposite from the first one

EDIT: On Rare, ok HitBoy is a wizard on those synths

Very interesting analysis there! It’s clear as day that they compliment each other well.

Off first listen this is a worthy follow up to Kings Disease. Moments & Store Run are one of those all time great Nas songs

 

[Ziggiy]

I love this album. This is why Nas is the gawd and best rapper ever, period! He never lost his step.

Man, I hope they release this album as physical copy. I would def buy it for my cd collection

There’s both Vinyl and CD options on his online store. Already copped the CD

Hit-boy still salty at Kanye, taking shotsNas had to calm him down lmao

Nas got flashbacks of The Genesis having to tell Jungle and Wiz to calm the fukk down and pass him the phillies

You can have it all, just don't side with Satan

How the fukk is KD2 better than KD? Like WTF?

A sequel is rarely better than the original but Nas and Hit-Boy made it happen

 

[Flav]

How come Em can’t just slow down the flow to the MMLP flow and murder sht. That herb went from a flow god to stealing this guy flow...



And that’s exactly how white people react too.

This might seem farfetched, but I really think one of the reasons Kanye pulled back the release is because his ego wouldn't let him comprehend the idea of Hit-Boy producing a better/greater album than Donda. Said this in the KD2 thread, but Ye' didnt wanna share the hip-hop spotlight with KD2 (I thought it would have been great for Hip-Hop).

Deep down, Hit-Boy has done 2x now what Ye couldn't do with Nas......for someone as sensitive and fukked in the head as Kanye is....I truly believe that the poor reception Nasir got still has him in his feelings.

I dont blame Hit-Boy for holding a grudge. Probably feels that he was marginalized while he was at GOOD Music.
