Cats playing the age card while bumping the debut album of a 43 year old man.

Lmao. And a 50 year old collaborator.

Most of this site is fake young. Cats be like....30+ calling people washed up and dusty. :gucci:

shyt is wild to me fam. Actual young people (teens, early 20's) do not differentiate between 35, 45, and 55. All that shyt is equally :flabbynsick: to them. Probably hurt cats feelings saying that but :manny: it is what it is.

album is jayz doing his best nas impression and elec givin up the rest of his untitled verses



album is definitely not solid.
feels hollow as fukk actually.

nobody on this board can talk to me about nas or being off beat or nas beat selection.

its 2020. no reason i have to listen to beats worse than zone out while jayz and jay elec are OFF BEAT.

album dead ass loses a whole mic for that travesty. 4 mics?

nah this shyt is light. 3.
The super Nas stans are hating its as simple as that :dead:

ONLY thing i’m holding “against” this album (meaning me just nitpicking) is I wish they would’ve went ahead and put Dear Moleskin and Better In Tune With The Infinite on the album. Yes I know they are old but so is Shiny Suit Theory and that joint STILL goes hard.


That would have given us 12 tracks. Still short and sweet no filler and would have given Jay Elect a little more solo shine.



As it stands i’m willing to give this album a 4.5. I REALLY fukks with this album. I LOVE albums that are able to immerse me in certain moods or perspectives. This is an album that really makes me want to read The Autobiography Of Malcolm X, watch Spike Lee’s movie, look up Farrakhan speeches, and just really immerse myself in the mythology and history surrounding the Black Muslim movement.

I’m the biggest Nas stan on this forum. I love this album. I have no idea why a Nas fan wouldn’t absolutely fukk with this album.


Anything Jay and Hov rap about on this Nas has already been touching on since at least Stillmatic. This is right up a Nas fans ally

I could have definitely taken Better In Tune With The Infinite on here, fits the vibe.

Two of the main things Nas fans didn't like about Jay was his materialism and apparent lack of growth/maturity.

Now Jay has grown up.

And Nas is a venture capitalist.

At this point, if someone is still playing the Stan Wars shyt it's pretty pathetic.

But Coli gonna Coli.

Man I really hope that with the positive reception of this album so far, that it makes Jay E reconsider leaking/dropping Act II...

Yeah, hope he just drops it, may as well just put the shyt for free and get the streaming money. And then come with a fresh album late next year.
