Album took off for me starting from Store Run all the way down.

The last three tracks tho

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Been listening to this album non-stop since yesterday and its fukking flames. The length of the tracks, the subject matter the beats, the beat switches, the grown NaS rhymes, the features all brought the heat. The Goat has cemented his legacy more than it already was and Hit Boy is on fire.

This is exactly the type of album you want to hear from a vet at this stage of their career. No nonsense, true to themselves while still being fresh and not dated. Couldn’t really ask for more.

Took this nikka 30 years to realize hot beats matter and it wasnt a moment too soon. Album fire.

Salute Nas!

Nas Is Like, Made You Look, Hate Me Now, Book of Rhymes, The Message, Take it in Blood, Stay, Ilmatic, Shootouts, Ur Da Man etc wasn’t hot beats?

Long listen but very interesting review.

Man, Nas is Good needs to be longer......an extra verse woulda did it nicely.....

I'm feeling some 2004 Dilla/ Kanye vibes on that beat......some college dropout type ish.

This the types of beats people wish Kanye gave Nas on NASIR

 

[King Ming]

they more receptive on Twitter. On IG he was gettin clowned. Make's sense cause its alotta crackers on Twitter. That said I dont think the verse was bad he just shoulda cut it short and only kept the second half.

Sohh hating ass fofty ain't saying anything about this classic Nasir has dropped but wants to defend that Cac?

 

[Izanami]

Dope post but I do think you went a little hard on some of those other producers. I think Primo, Pete, Large Pro, and Al are all really dope in 2021 still. Just not the best fit for a full Nas project.

And I don’t think there was anything wrong with fans saying what they’d have liked at the time.

True I think Pete Rock (Retropolitan), ALC (Alfredo&TPOTIC) and Madlib (Bandana) have dropped stellar projects recently. I ouldnt mind a Nas project with either of hose guys. I do however fell they probably couldn’t give Nas this variety. Hit-Boy managed to give Nas west coast beat, dilla style beat, organize noize type beat, Kanye type beat, a Pete rock type beat and even a cardo type beat and all with high marks.

let’s not get carried away now.. Lost Tapes 2 was a 3.5 mic forgettable joint

Kings Disease was 4.5 Mics
Kings Disease 2 is sounding like 5 Mics
