Did you see his interviews when Lost Tape 2 dropped, mainly the one on Tidal and on Drunk Champs, he was the exact way in those interviews.
I’ve seen almost every Nas interview lulz. Drunk champs he was a lil more comfortable cuz they were taking shots every 5 mins. And smoked weed too lol

When it comes to reviews, if you've already bought the album and listened to it, what does a review even matter at that point? The purpose of a review is to explain to those who are interested why the work is worthy of attention. Inherently, we see a review as a means to validate our opinions, but critical acclaim doesn't necessarily mean you will like it. It also doesn't mean you have to like it.

Pitchfork is an entirely different animal. Their "reviews" don't read like reviews. They write these think pieces about albums to create narratives and little focus is given to the music all while flexing collegiate level literary skills.

The writers for The Source were collegiate level writers too, but they didn't flex it. Their reviews explained why you should or shouldn't check for an album. It was straight to the point and written specifically for their readers. Pitchfork isn't even for the casual reader because they waste too much space addressing things about an album or artist that have nothing to do with music.

I never thought about that but I did notice that he's way more comfortable and more open during this press run. Even on the Zoom meetings he doesn't look into the camera. He's looking off the side.

The in-person interviews, I always think how come he's so articulate in songs but terrible in these interviews? LOL He's finally comfortable and speaking more normally in these Zoom calls.
The only time he really seemed comfortable on in-person interviews was during the Stillmatic press run when he was riding the high of Ether.

Album makes me wanna play “I Am...” for some reason. Gives me similar vibes.

I felt the urge to put that on yesterday, kind of an uneven album but still has some great songs. Probably on the lower end of his catalog for me but still good. It’s a shame the bootleg wasn’t the official release

I'm feeling "Full Circle" it goes even beyond music to me. How many of us have had relationships with friends or family come "full circle ".

A connection, a falling out or just simply lost touch, a passage of time to heal old wounds along with growth, and finally a reunion and reconnecting.

I'm sorry I need a moment :wow:

Replace Dr. Knockboot, Big Things, K-I-SS-I-N-G, Money Is My bytch with Project Windows, Blaze a 50, Find Ya Wealth and Drunk by Myself and it's one of the greatest albums of all time.

King's Disease is sneaking into the Top 5.

1. It Was Written
2. Stillmatic
3. Illmatic
4. I AM
5. King's Disease
6. The Lost Tapes
7. God'sSon.

I understand the hype right now but no way this is better than the Lost tapes :comeon:

It’s in the same category as Gods Son and Life is Good

Don't forget Rise&Fall Amongst Kings Fetus You gotta love it:wow::wow::wow::wow:
That would have been the GOAT double album if not for bootlegging. At least it made it onto the Lost Tapes.
