I'm not talking about just this one bad song. I'm talking about his inactivity, the last trash album he put out, and his overall inconsistency. Nas has been mediocre for years now.
He's been a little inactive, but he's back now...so what's the problem? Homie is in his mid 40's now, he's allowed to take a break.
Nasir wasn't outright trash - but yes, it was a rushed, inconsistent project. I blame Ye and his bullshyt more than Nas though.
Overall inconsistency - nah. Illmatic, It Was Written, I Am, Stillmatic, Lost Tapes, God's Son, Untitled, Distant Relatives and LIG are all good to masterpiece level albums. A couple of his others were more inconsistent but he's still got a solid batting average. Plus every rapper has ups and downs in their career. He's got more good to great albums than 99 percent of other rappers.
