We're on the blood path now
The same way people who like Nas didn't want him to make an album about Africa, or about the N word.
Some people like to hear certain things from their favorite artists. I like all of his work, but I don't want to listen to a sob story about shyt we already know about. If life is good, I need him to freshen up his content.
Sick cover
I'm feeling that smiley!
Guess you'll have to wait for the next album then, because this one will be one of his most personal.

does nas like getting made fun of? is this some sort of troll?
Some posters are taking this green dress thing too literally..
The reason he released the trailer with all the negative criticism was to let you know that he'll be addressing ALL of these factors on the album. Every single Nas album cover from Illmatic onward encorporates a certain element of symbolisim. This isn't going to be the "Kelis Album", the dress is a metaphor for all the negative things that he has had to weather the past 4 years. The contemplative look on his face symbolizes his recollection, contemplation, and conclusive acceptance of all these factors. After everything he's gone through, the baby mama drama with Carmen. The divorce. The spousal support payments. The public scrutiny. Struggling to be a good single father to a teenaged daughter raised by a woman who feels its acceptable to write tell all freak fest novels (but is upset at a single song dedicated to Destiny
) the IRS payments. DESPITE all of this, the final conclusion that he comes to is that it's a blessing to be alive. A blessing to be an MC. A blessing that people listen to his music. A blessing that he can work with the Marley family and tour the world. A blessing that after 20 years in the game he's still a relevant force in a fickle, flash in the pan, trend driven industry.
LIFE IS GOOD.
