What the saying? Lol

They went INNNNN on the guy who reviewed the album for Complex.

He didn’t trash the album but he said some dumb shyt about Nas lacking humor on the album (since when was Nas Busta Rhymes or Redman?)

He also said the “The Sun doesn’t know its a star” line was weak

He also said the hooks weren’t “anthemic” (whatever THE fukk that means)

Coop is also calling 21 London an agent lmao

 

[Ziggiy]

just wait for Pitchfork

fukk pitchfork!

I NEVER read they’re reviews. I just look at their scores and shake my fukking head…


I know the 6.8 score is incoming but i’d rather they follow Rolling Stone and just NOT review the album

Can’t believe for once critics are on point. That’s what I would have guessed would be contenders for rap Grammys if it were about straight quality. Hard part would be deciding which one has gotta go in favor of KD3. stacked

They wouldn’t even have to do so because KD3 came out after the submission deadline.

Kendrick and Push got in for Best Rap Album. Black Thought deserved to be in there and also JID in my opinion

That is true, forgot about that deadline. And agreed.

The first 5 on there along with Nas and Vince are absolute quality.

Makes for a solid year in Hip Hop all around.

Roc and Al’s album has an 81 on Metacritic btw

Nas ‘King’s Disease III’ Review: A Rap Icon at His Myth-Making Merriest

Nas’s 16th album, ‘King’s Disease III,’ often feels like a spartan exercise in pure technical ability. Read our review.

7/10
just waiting on the 4.5 on pitchfork

7/10 is the ultimate playing it safe score lol, basically "It's too good to front on but I still don't wanna give it too much props"

Although Nas & Hit-Boy make a fantastical team and go so well together.....
I would love that Nas Preemo album.
I would simply LOVE to hear an entire album with Nas & Preemo working together, on an entire album.
I'm sure those NY Preemo beats would push Nas to drop some harder shyt

I hope we get it before May 2023
