I haven't since KD1 :pachaha:

I'm sure these joints are decent but he has nothing to prove anymore and he knows it. I'm just not interested in listening to legends at 50%. Its better than dropping outright trash like LL but I'm over it :yeshrug:
You’re missing out bro. This is most definitely not Nas at 50%. KD2 and this were much doper than KD1

This shyt is dope. Moodier producer, lots of conscious raps without preaching. Just truth. Only track I'm hyped on is Wu Is For The Children. It's not bad but the drumless thing doesn't work as well there as on Ugly which is great. Might grow on me tho.

The flow man. Intro track is wild. Hollywood Gangsta....The Truth? DEDICATED? Nas sounds hungry as fukk on this.

I don’t ever jump out the window with reviewing albums, but this Nas's best shyt in almost 10 years. Easily since Life Is Good.

He's sounding energized and mad inspired again, like his mixtape run during '97-'98. Production is perfect for him, and also his best sound-bed in what seems like forever. But most importantly, he's on here spittin' like the pen never cooled off. Nice surprise drop and goes to show that the greats are the greats for a reason. This is another masterclass in emceeing from one of the best to ever do it. Really dope project! Nas came through crazy on this one.
