Apparently Def Jam couldn't clear the sample in time for the album to be handed in.

Same sample for Rick Ross Maybach Music if i remember correctly.

Nasir Jones is the Benjamin Button of Hip-Hop with the last 3 projects
KD 1 = I Am
KD 2 = It Was Written
Magic = Illmatic
KD3 =

I need to apologize for saying I didn't think Nas could rap as well over drumless beats back when Nasir dropped.


he sounds dope as fukk over Ugly and Wu...especially Ugly though.

The rhymes
The flow
The message
The beats
The sequencing

Compare the energy Nas has on this to that Rick Ross snoozefest he just dropped.

There is no comparison. Gotta stay hungry because the music will let everyone know when you letting up

agreed the Ross was a weed plate besides a few joints

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Yeah this was supposed to be their project.

don’t get me wrong. I didn’t hate NASIR.

I don't hate NASIR but I agree that this album basically feels like what they were aiming for on that one.

Hit boy got range

 

[Artfull Dodger]

none of the 3 Hit-Boy produced Nas albums sound the same. Very dope.

Quote for emphasis...There are some habitual line steppers on here who dont get it. They gon learn tho

 

[Ty-Fife]

Hollywood Gangsta sounds like it coulda been on Lost Tapes

It kinda got a bounce like Purple

 

[Canada Goose]

Just finish listening to this, it's cool. Lyrically this album is incredible, Ugly or Dedicated is my favorites on first listen. Whole different vibe from the two kings disease albums.

 

[Illmagic]

This is outstanding on first listen. Just wow

 

[Ziggiy]

Wu For The Children

Hit boy got range

exactly. I know why he doesn't feel the urge to use other producers right now when Hit-Boy can basically do justice to any style himself.
