Not announcing a date and saying "later this year" in the press release means it might come out in December for all we know or even get pushed back to 2025.
Probably smart to take in any feedback and see
But also we know Nas has a work ethic, Preemo is the one you gotta see. He’s working Prhyme 3 so it’s better not to set any release date

I'm not hearing the hate, can't understand it. This is dope. It feels like this will be added to the album as a bonus track though, its just a teaser.
We can critique everything but nas huh
I think im “posting my ass off” “my posts still sharp since the sohh days” “im carrying this thread”

Song ain't wack at all, but it doesn't stand out either. It's just kinda "there". Reminds me of "Robbin Hood Theory" off Moment Of Truth.
Dweeb im not in every nas thread

This is how I am looking at it, Nas came through but I know Premo can do way more considering what he did with PRhyme.

What I'm saying is, he worked with lesser talented producers way too much, when he had the option to roll with GOAT producers who said he didn't call them. Premier being one of them. He said he was trying to do more work with Nas 20 years ago, but Nas wasn't getting back to him.
Nas has worked mad heavily with dudes that can't even touch the greats. So imagine what he could've done if he gave the better legends the same amount of time he's given dudes like HB. I love the singles Salaam gave Nas, but he gave him way more forgettable sh*t. Alchemist said he's been telling Nas for years to get back in with him, but he said it just hasn't happened. Large Professor said whenever Nas is ready to do a project together, he's ready and waiting. But said Nas ain't get with him yet on that. So if he could pivot and work more with dudes at THAT level, we're talking instant classics.

Yeah, same.
If he was willing to clear all of Hitboy's samples I'm assuming he would do the same for the Preem album, but I guess we'll wait and see.
... What's the last Alc produced album you listened to? Hitboy does just as much drumless shyt as he does. It's weird how many people try to define him with that shyt.
Robbin Hood Theory was fire though.

They probably ain’t even started which is why no release date was given and this was just to see what’s up

I wouldn't go that far, but it's a good song. Guru was the main reason the song was good, similiar to this one with Nas. Compared to the other classics on M.O.T., a legit bonafide 5 Mic caliber album, it's definitely on the lower end.
We don't know the behind the scenes shyt of everything but it was definitely beef with Pete Rock and shyt probably soured with Hav while Nas was beefing with P
It's a shame he didn't work with Premier more in the 00's, I agree on that one...
Also you're bugging on No ID, would easily take his LIG beats over those two Pete Rock Lost Tapes beats...The Art Of It would have been so much better if it hadn't been horribly mixed
Hall and Nash 2 or maybe that Earl Sweatshirt shyt I think, they were cool but the beats get kinda samey to me
Feedback has been mostly positive from what I read on Twitter and other places.
