“They hardly happy for you, keep doing what you do. You can’t please everybody and not everybody is you.”
Wasn't feeling that song at first, now it might be my favorite. Motivating as hell

Gotta love how that writer says “I understand the privilege of being a white person writing about black artist. Btw if you think your problem is that I’m white, that’s fine.”
:russ:

The only misogynist line on the album to me was the estrogen line in the intro. There are moments on the album when I can imagine a woman rolling her eyes but that’s expected when men rap/sing about lost love. Someone gonna get annoyed, it’s understandable. Especially since Nas rarely discusses his own faults in a relationship. I’d understand a women being like “nah” lol.

Friend of mine said she didn’t like the album because Nas said the common link of strong men like Malcolm X was that their women were silent. I pointed out he said “solid” not silent and she was like ok I get it now. People are looking for reasons to hate...due to Kelis.

Meanwhile what's really going on in the album....


"Black-grown, black-owned, black women is the backbone"

"Single mothers, my heart's bleeding for you"

"And our future queens, y'all the strongest ones"

"We're nothing without our women"

He tried to throw Rolling Stone under the bus for not properly editing the article as well :dead:

Now he wants to play victim. The main problem is that he was talking
misogyny



Wow this cornball actually wrote "People are shytting on me because I'm a white guy" in that Twitter thread. When his fake woke shyt didn't play and became see through, his true feelings emerge.

I don't wanna rehash the Kelis BS but how come when she drops her wack ass dance music ear cancer, nobody bring up Nas allegation that she was abusive to Destiny? Oh right, because of the agenda.

Yea, my coworker lmao

I work with an Asian dude who is a huge Nas stan; in fact he was the one who DM'd me about the album announcement while we were in a zoom meeting. We've been talking about the album here or there during zoom down times, and this chick we work with was like "I like Nas but he lost me with that album when he said women with great men should be silent." Like I said, I corrected her and she was like ok. Her favorite song on the album is Replace Me btw lol.
