I disagree big time on the album intro.
I thought like you did for the first 5 seconds, but then it turns into something else.. something ill imo

Na mean :win:

Last album I listened to like how your describing? It was written.
Well, I can't front. Life After Death was also on repeat in a similar fashion.
But yeah, this album will go down in history as one of hip-hop's finest.
But will it stand the test of time? Nobody can really begin to answer that for a month at least.
But off of first listen, I can honestly say this is the best album I've heard in a long time :ehh:

Man, when I first listened to it I was watching tv & pausing it took me about 3 hours to finish, read some comments on here about its greatness, and I listened again & it was just okay Im reading on here like :comeon: but that 3rd time, ay dios mio, it was like I seen God :damn::ohhh: :wow::dead: I died, now im in music heaven, that track with mary J is just okay tho

I meant the album intro. It was a little much. A bit too grandiose. But I ALSO loathe the way Anthony Hamilton introduces that song as well.


I like my hip hop as close to park jam related as 2012-ly possible. Those two are vile, post Bad Boy & Kanye piles of garbage.

The sample on Stay is actually pretty dope

I just spent the whole song waiting for some pounding 1992ish drums to come in

"Saying Nas must have naked picture of God or something."

:lawd: have mercy on me, I'm not worthy of Nasir Bin Olu Dara lyrical prowess.

The starvation is over.

After filling my belly with this salvation all day, I can't even coherently review this.

:ohlawd::wow::to::noah::deadrose::ahh:

I'm so full right now :eat: I'll completely ignore how out of place Summer On Smash is. :rudy:

Nasir the GAWD :boss:
