Bro you're nas 20 plus years in the game and you let a nikka handle you like that. Is he not accountable at all what are we doing here.
Kanye's Questionable Methods While Working on Nasir
If this was Jay instead of Nas, do you really think Jay would have allowed this fiasco for his album?
And I'm a nas fan.
I think part of the reason nas is going so hard with Hitboy is because he is still pissed off at the Nasir project.
Mike the Executioner
What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
I thought Nasir was dope when it came out and I played it all the time. It's not Nas' best work, but considering the circumstances behind it, the fact that songs like "Adam and Eve" and "Everything" still came out of it is a miracle to me. Maybe I would feel differently if I had to wait six years for it.
With that being said, Kanye in 2018 was clearly in no position to handle the GOAT's comeback album. He treated it like a high school essay that you were assigned weeks ago, kept telling yourself you were going to do, and only started working on the night before it was due. You somehow got the essay finished before English class, but it's obvious you lost steam halfway through and filled up the rest of it with nonsense to reach the page count.
It never made sense how Kanye could do that, seeing as how Nas is his favorite rapper and he promised Obama that he would make this happen, like it was his lifelong dream to do it. And at that time, Nas wasn't known for cranking out music fast. He has to sit on it, revise it, and refine it. Mix that process with Kanye's, and it's like putting oil on chocolate cake.
As for The Lost Tapes II, it seems like a Michael Jackson situation where Nas had enough of Def Jam and just put the album together so he could wash their hands of them. There are plenty of great songs on there, so I'm surprised it was done just so Def Jam could go away.

My expectations were sky high bruh.
This is completely ignoring that albums need care and time to create even when you're the GOAT like Nas or a past hitmaker like Kanye. shyt you still gotta put that work in even if you're fukkin MJ, Prince or Marvin Gaye. Kanye really just went "He's Nas, I'm Kanye, that's enough to make it happen" which is a great start but you can't be sending Nas beats a few days before the release, especially with the anticipation fans had of those two titans coming together on a project. This is all further proven in how all of Kanye's releases since have been done, working on the albums in stadiums right before the release date and all that other wacky diva shyt he does. This is why I'm happy Nas has connected with HB, they are obviously putting effort into their craft and its showing unlike Kanye's last couple albums.

Jay released a whole double album against his better judgement. Im pretty sure Jay never had to deal with something like that shyt Kanye pulled l. I don’t think many artists have. Nas has never had any release issues his entire career.
Coli told me LT2 and Nasir were classic 🫤

Hilarious thread
That’s why Nas said he’ll never work with folks again on drink champs lol
Nasir was good to me though. Lol I’m a Joe Budden fan so I’m used to bad mixes
