Perfect description. That’s how this style of Jazz music has always made me feel.

One of the things I always respected about Nas was he’s never been afraid of taking creative risks. He’s a true artist, different from a lot of rappers. When you do that you win some and you lose some.
When he dropped Bridging The Gap as the lead single for SD I was
(it was a cool cut for what he was going for but definitely not a lead single for a double album)
Could have been several other joints that would have been better as the lead single.
But at the end of the day, Nas wanted his lead single to be a blues track with his pops on it, which to me is a really dope ass life achievement. Who can say they did that? So Nas is gonna always do what Nas wants, and I respect that.
Having said that, this snippet (all I’ve heard) isn’t good. Just like Nasir wasn’t good.
Not because Nas has fallen off (not even close, he still continues improving actually) but whoever is calling the shots on his music releases is not just dropping the ball, they’re throwing a PICK 6 because they are actually tarnishing his legacy.
Who is the exec producer? Is Nas making these calls? Does he only have yes men around him at this point?
To Nas true core fan base, LT1 is a classic album, had a cohesive vibe, nothing I can say that hasn’t been said 1000 times. The LT brand held serious weight off the strength of 1 compilation.
LT2 is damn near equivalent to Stillmatic dropping, WE GOTTA DO THIS RIGHT. Nas actually had something to prove again after Nasir.
This track as the first single? Really?
I already know this will be an auto skip on the album, it was on the cutting room floor for good reason and should have stayed there.
I would like to hear the thought process on how this went down.
shyts disappointing cuz Nas still on fire with his verses, he’s the GOAT. But we need an intervention on this trend I’m seeing
Of course still getting the album regardless, I’m sure there will be some great joints on there. But this is on par with about the worst type of song you could have released for this project

This shyt sounds like Nas was in the studio like 'Aye, get me the most unnecessarily difficult to rap over beat you can find'.
