Yeah, I think I’m more on an island with that one but I can’t stand that record.
nah I get it, theres no rhythm to it ..its not like I play it
That’s why I didn’t do it, lol, it’s wayyy wayyy too much fire on them albums to fairly pick 10, ain’t possible. I’d pick 10 but have like 25 honorable mentions that could/should all be Top 10. The way that run gets semi swept under the rug seemingly by hip hop at large is highkey disgusting, literally like 85% of all that music is straight
Yo this is a fact man. Out of 6 albums I feel like none were average. All were great. I know people don’t like Magic 2 like that but I feel like it’s too short and abruptly ends hahaha
This was some of Nas's best flowing, so there's rhythm there. The stories especially the last one was crazy. Add Anthony Hamilton's vocals and the musical aspects and this is up there with "What Goes Around". I get why people don't like it. It has this very dramatic feel to it and is awkwardly placed on the album.

It is real as I recall. It was supposed to be for Mos Def and Talib Kweli’s Black Star reunion album No Fear of Time

Best flowing?
Don’t disrespect Esco like that. This ain’t touching What Goes Around. From the music to Anthony Hamilton’s vocals. Just garbage. Especially when Anthony Hamilton starts wailing at the 4-minute mark. Just hate it. And then to follow it up with Summer on Smash. Momentarily takes me out of what is otherwise a great album.I agree with you on what goes around but don’t disrespect world is an addiction like thatBest flowing?

Never been a fan of World is an addiction. Nas is rapping but yeh I just don’t vibe to it.

Nah, they got a song with Nas but he later used the verse for The Cure.
It was on Talibs podcast with Hit Boy
