There's no way Pitchfork gives this more than 7 lol. They'll spend half the review talking about Illmatic and Kelis like they always do


Pitchfork giving Nas is a 7 is basically calling it a classic lol.


fukk Pitchfork and their reviews. I’m just saying that for whatever reason them and rolling stone are weighted differently when it comes to Metacritic. So if they give anything in the good (7) to great (9) category that could either keep the album in the 90’s or put it all the way in lower 80’s

This would’ve been a dope album cover too. Like the evolution from LIG to now :wow:

Him sitting on a King’s throne now and not the black couch :ahh:

I thought you said we shouldn’t care about sales, acclaim, or “who says what about the album.”


You fukking hypocrite:camby:

Album sales and what celebrities are saying about the album on socials and shyt is unimportant to me personally...album is a masterpiece whether it sells 8000 or 80000 and whether 1 celeb or 20 celebs are in the comments...but a stellar album review from a credible source is just fire tho, especially when it's deserved. You added "acclaim" to try and force a point, don't work with me.

I actually respect your disgusting, absolutely clownish stanning of Nas because Nas is my f'n guy, lol...but don't get it twisted lil boy, it is disgusting and clownish. I'm a let you rock tho, but you out of pocket sassy pants, calm down.

I think the only record I would cut is Brunch on Sundays, doesn't feel necessary. Not a bad record either but I like YKTV and EPMD 2 which everyone seems say are the weaker ones

I think after Jay went with NO ID, Nas backed off him.

No I.D. has been on Jay albums since American Gangster. He even co-produced the song featuring Nas. Nas then worked with No I.D. on Untitled, but the songs didn't make the album. Then there's of course Life Is Good. He also went back to No I.D. when he was working on the follow up, but there's no word of whether they actually completed songs.

I don't see it. 444 came out in 2017 and since then No ID has been running labels and shyt. I just assume they haven't had time to reconnect, not that Nas is veering away from him.

In terms of another album...I wouldn't mind seeing it be a collaborative effort with multiple producers, but Hit Boy exec producing. Basically send your beats to the squad and let's see who makes the cut. Just Blaze, Jake One, Justice League, Jake One, Premo, Salaam...lets go. And of course Hit would have most of the beats.

I would like to see where Nas could take it with other production, but I think he and Hitboy have become quite the MC/producer tandem. I don't really see them breaking it at this point. I could see Hitboy bringing in Premo or someone like that for nostalgia purposes like how The Firm reunited and Nas reunited with Lauryn.

I think Nas has been wanting to lock in with one producer for years, but didn't find the one producer who was:

1) Willing to make himself accessible and available

2) Was going to push Nas in the studio to finish what they started

3) Versatile enough to where Nas could wherever he wanted with it

I think the closest he came to that was Salaam Remi. With HitBoy, it seems like he finally found it.

Not only that but hit boy have the capacity to make nas' beats feels current and modern. As great as LIG is it was an old school production only and a lot of :flabbynsick: loved the album. Now with hit boy a lot of yougins can appreciate nas even the lonzo ball type of idiots
