That song is nice but he sounds like Nip there with the flow etc., not a bad thing but sounds like Nipsey in a lot of ways... Maybe one of his inspirations but I hear Nip listening to that.

He was with odds with his partner CL for a good minute so I think you are right. He seems off in many ways, legend and has some incredible beats but I see it the way you do this dude is off....
I mean he’s not exactly wrong
Hit boy is not a bad producer at all, he definitely has great beats…but lost in all this excitement over ‘Omg new Nas’ is that we got 5 albums and not 1 is classic or unskippable. Maybe not even a 4.5 micer. It’s more about the blessing of getting new Nas music, more about quantity than pure quality.
Production wise there is no ‘Be’, no Almost Dry, no hell hath no fury, not even a 4:44. Dudes like Alchemist, madlib, Pharrell etc have better batting average on fully produced albums. You get 5 cracks at it with Nas you supposed to have at least 2 classics
Now in Hit boys favor he hs a more diverse sound than those guys. His range is crazy, he doesn’t have a signature ‘sound’. But the potential downside to that is I you just KNOW a hit boy produced album is gon have a bunch of beats you don’t like and don’t even fit Nas

Whatever beats Nas chooses, he's still relevant and still puts in a lot of work.
Pete Rock is irrelevant these days. Him and Melle Mel should open up a bitter old man podcast.
A good faith criticism from a musician is not hiding behind keyboard and liking tweets that joke about another artist.

Yeah. Big-Hit does remind me of Nip
Focus on the beat though, my nicca. Hit Boy been killing shyt the last few years
I love the Hit Boy series but I wont pretend like the hardest Nas beat of the last few years aint the Art of It by Pete Rock on Lost Tapes 2

I would prefer more diversity from Nas than just working with Hit Boy and I know some other NY guys feel the same but Pete needs to be more gracious. You see Premier giving his releases props. Being a hater is not a good look.

PR thought he was being slick with an album promotion. I don’t think he’s said anything out right since Nas gave him that bar

King disease 3 is top tier, Twitter hip hop fans can be the worse at times 
Let the past go
Let the past goKD3 and KD2 are easy 4.5 mics. I’ll take KD2 over all those albums apart from maybe Be.
