Yeah... Lupe is going crazy over Nas' opening bars on "Nobody".
Lupe said that rappers get their entire careers from Nas’s first verse on Nobody
I'm KD back again rn and I agree with whoever in here that got clowned for saying it kind of feels more like a collection of songs than a cohesive vision. It's still a great album and one of my favorites from last year but that's a valid complaint.
I mean, was Spicy always the last track? I haven't run thru the whole album in a while but I don't remember that lmao. Really doesn't work as a closer imo.

Lupe on IG begging AZ to get on a Nobody Remix lmao
If we get that Naz/AZ collab album, EP w/e Hitboy should be producing.

Its more of a bonus track than a closer. The closing to the album is The Cure.

28 summers, that wasn’t even the goal. 
Hit-Boy on the beat, this shyt slapped again. Man, Hit-Boy created another soundscape that is easy and enjoyable to listen to. That man is talented as fukk. I just hit play and let it ride. He’s been amazing for Nas’s career. Their chemistry is crazy. He gives Nas a musical backdrop where Nas can share his perspective as a now elder statesman and definite living legend in hip-hop. Nas is absolutely in a different space as far as his rhyme scheme, lyricism, and concepts but I really enjoy him embracing his role as a veteran in the great rap game, his reflections on surviving the times, his reminiscing, the nostalgia for his hood, his relationships with women, the random musings about where he’s at in his life. KD2 is definitely a worthy follow-up to KD1 which I also thought was a strong effort. The replay-ability for both albums is high for me. Love the collabs on KD2 with Lauryn Hill and Charlie Wilson the most but just like the first joint all the features are good. Standout cuts for me are Rare, Store Run, Moments, Nobody, No Phony Love, Brunch on Sunday, and Nas is Good but I like everything. No weak joints. I’ve been playing the album front to back on a loop since last night. I feel like Nas has been in rare air as far as rap careers go but he’s been doing it gracefully. I’ve grown up with his music and he’s always been my favorite rapper. I’m just happy he’s still doing his thing. Salute to the kid from QB!

Nas firmly, without question, is the G.O.A.T. Personally he's always been my favorite ever, theres nobody even close...but objectively I always had him, Jigga and Pac as interchangeable pretty much...but nah, son is clearly #1. This album is disgusting, no skips (maybe YKTV but that shyt jammin). He stepped his pen up from "KD" no doubt, everything about this is KD on roids.
Him linking with Hitboy was the best thing to ever happen to his music career...all Nas ever needed was a musical director/producer in there with him who handles everything besides the lyrics, musically. Hitboy is incredible.
"Store Run" is the most fire shyt I've heard in years...don't even make no sense how crazy this shyt is.
Eminem is an amazing, phenomenal rhymer, anybody frontin on him cares about shyt other than actual rapping...but all that super rhyming he was doing aint even as hard as "At the round table, having war council / press one button, it'll change the world around you"...just that bar alone on "Rare" is harder than that whole verse, for real. I appreciate Eminem and what he does tho...but I know the average non-syllable dissecting nerd hears pure gibberish for like 70% of his verses, lol.
I don't know where I put it in Nas's discog, wanna rock with it another week or sumn...but musically this might be #1,
. Give this man his 2nd Grammy now, might as well.

Lupe really is a student of music, he digest music on first listen great...it would take me few listens to catch things that Lupe catches first time.
Oh yeah that's right

Why is that line so hard over the drums and vocal sample? Makes no sense.
