Nas learned in 96 that “purists” were just dusty back packers who wouldn’t TRULY support him. Telling the backpackers to fukk off was the best thing he’s ever done.


Illmatic should be triple platinum the way “purists” talk but they didn’t back up their claims they just bootlegged the shyt

What's crazy is I actually think Illmatic is triple platinum, lol. I know what you saying tho, initially the way it was beloved by the real heads the numbers should have matched that.

I just want him to drop that one last album and let him bow out. Give him his flowers now. With that last album. Make it a epic moment for him and the love in the whole industry. Reward that man now while alive with a epic bow out….

Nah. As long as he has things to say, I'm all for Nas making new albums. It's an interesting less-braggadocio perspective of being a grown man and business man. Hip hop is still a young artform. We're seeing the rappers we grew up with, also grow up and it will be interesting to see how they navigate it. Some do is less gracefully when they have nothing to say (Eminem besides Kamikaze - where he had something to say) and some are doing it amazingly without being preachy (Nas).

Nas has his flowers. He's your favorite rappers favorite rapper. I wouldn't want Nas to bow out for some "fade to black" type nonsense just so we can get an event. I want him to keep spitting stories, gems, and what his perspective is on the things going on in the world.

It took it 7 years to reach platinum. As much praise as people give that album and shade the rest of Nas’ work illmatic shoulda been diamond by the 2000s
